General design problem [message #230226] Wed, 07 February 2007 06:35 Go to next message

Hi all,

I will explain you my problem but before I have to explain what am I doing.

So actually I am intending to develop a graphical viewer for a type of data contained in an xml file. So what I want to have is just a graphical view of my data. That's the step I have followed :

1) written the data model
2) written XML parser to feed the model from data in the xml file.
3) created figure classes associated to each model object
3) create a graphical view in my application
4) then my application traverse the data model elements, calculates the right bounds for each elements and draw it on the view.

it seems to be working correctly.

Then I wanted to transform it into an eclipse RCP application and use the GEF framework.

What I want to have is :
1) Choose an xml file to display
2) the parser parses the file
3) when adding new elements in the data model while parsing, the model fires propertychange events so that they are caught by the editparts (controller) and displays the corresponding figures in the editor.

I can't have this because my model is created before it is set as contents for the graphical viewer : so I have only the root editpart created, and not the others.

Can someone please help me, I know I have not explained all the things in this post because I don't know what to mention. Please ask me all the questions you want may be this will help me understand more.

Thx to all
