Hi,

I currently try to convert a big RCP application in RAP but i have some troubles :

When i tried to call Display.getDefault() in my function it returns null :

I know that is because i don't call it in the UI thread but i don't know how to solve it .

	private void findMassObjectEditor() {
		if (this.editor == null) {
			[color=red]Display.getDefault()[/color].syncExec(new Runnable() {

				@Override
				public void run() {

					final IWorkbenchWindow activeWorkbenchWindow =
							PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
					if (activeWorkbenchWindow != null) {...


I already read all about it in the RAP/FAQ, in particular section "How to update the UI from a background thread using Jobs?" and "Why does Display#getDefault() work different than in SWT" but i don't find any solution.

I would be very grateful for any help you could might be able to give me on my problem.

Thank you.

Clément

Hi Clément,
you have to provide the Display instance outside background thread. Is
MassObjectEditorManager a session singleton? If this is a case, you
could get the display from the current session when
MassObjectEditorManageris created and keep it in a field.
Best,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

Thank you for your answer.

I tried to provide display in AssociateObjectWizard class like this:

final Display display = Display.getCurrent();
				final Job createJob =
						new Job(GEMUIMessages.getString("AssociateObjectWizard.0")) { //$NON-NLS-1$

					@Override
					public IStatus run(final IProgressMonitor monitor) {
						
						monitor.beginTask(GEMUIMessages
								.getString("AssociateObjectWizard.1"), //$NON-NLS-1$
								IProgressMonitor.UNKNOWN);
						final IJobManager jobMan = Job.getJobManager();
						IStatus jobExecution = Status.CANCEL_STATUS;
						
						try {
							jobMan.beginRule(rule, monitor);
							display.asyncExec( new Runnable() {
								public void run() {
									createAction.run();
								}});
							jobExecution = createAction.getActionStatus();
						} finally {
							jobMan.endRule(rule);
							monitor.done();
						}
						return jobExecution;
					}
				};


Eclipse doesn't throw exception yet but only one part of my UI is refreshed (left column) but central part of my UI is still empty (it is refreshed in the RCP application).

I continue to investigate

If you do async stuff you need to run extra code in RAP to get the
client in sync.

You need to start a server push with:

ServerPushSession session = new ServerPushSession();
session.start();

Hello Thomas,

I don't know if in my case async is better than sync, i just follow RAP/FAQ code.
I don't think that i need async stuff.

Could you tell me more about that ?

Thanks
