Hi,
We have a GEF editor with a palette, and when we drag an item from the
palette to the GEF editor, we want to display a builder for the item. For
that builder to work correctly, it needs its model to be hooked in the main
model (to access inherited properties), so that means we need to create and
attach the element to the main model before the builder is opened. If the
user clicks on OK, then we want to commit the creation, if the user clicks
cancel, we want to roll it back. Now our problem is that we use the
performDirectEdit to open the builder, but at that time, everything is
already committed on the command stack, so clicking on cancel leaves the
element in the main model, which is not the right behavior.
What is the solution?
Thanks,
David Michonneau

Typically, you would want to put up UI in response to a request and then
based on the parameters of the UI, execute a command on the model. So, in
your case, the RequestConstants.REQ_DIRECT_EDIT would be the request type
you would trigger on. The access point would be in the performRequest
(Request request) or in a custom EditPolicy you've defined.
