MPart lifecycle class [message #1288322]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the lifecycle support for MParts as described here.

What I don't quite understand is how this differs from using the @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy annotations. And I don't have a good idea of what a lifecycle class could look like. Is there an example of such a class somewhere?

Thanks,
Uwe

If you return false from the LF-handler you veto the closing of the
part/perspective/window

You can find an example in the testcases e.g. you are not able to close
the first tab at all. We'll probably revamp the lifecycle support in 1.0
to be model based now that the platform has chose to go a different
route we proposed.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=398837 on our proposal
and how the platform will most likely implement it using in/out data on
the event-bus - crazy I know!

Thanks for pointing me at the test case.

What approach would you recommend for loading resources into an MPart after this MPart was rendered? The org.eclipse.fx.ui.lifecycle.annotations package does not seem to provide any annotations for that, and @PostConstruct does not really seem to fit either.

What do you mean with resources? I need to know more about your use case.

I meant resource loading operations that can potentially consume a longer amount of time like querying a database or accessing files over a network. A use case could be a table view that is rendered on screen before its content was fully loaded.

Hi,

We currently don't have support for doing things async and report
progress so this is something you need to init in your post-construct
manually.

Eclipse-Core has a Job-API and JavaFX itself also has some Threading-API
so you most likely will use one of the the 2.

Having an e4 service - including e.g. a ProgressView /
Progress-Reporting e.g. in the Bottom-Trim - would make up a nice
contribution ;-)

That's good to know. Wink
