problem extending structured text editor ... [message #233881]

Hi guys
I have another problem in my rcp application :( - USING ECLIPSE GALILEO (I
don't have this problem in eclipse 3.3.2)

Just as recap . I read files in an external DB . and I have extended
Structured text Editor to display the content.

The point is . when I try to open a file that is already locked in my db I
set the property read only to true.

I don't understand why I have this different behavior .

---- storage ----
EomStorageISO implements IStorageEditorInput, IStorage, IEomStorage

---- action ----
page.openEditor(new EomStorageISO(treeItem, viewer),
"EomUtils.EomXmlEditor");

---- editor ----
public class EomStructuredTextEditor extends StructuredTextEditor

---- extension ----

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
class="com.eomutils.editors.EomStructuredTextEditor"
contributorClass=" org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.internal.actions.ActionContributorXML "
default="false"
icon="icons/file.xml.gif"
id="EomUtils.EomXmlEditor"
name="EomXmlEditor">
<contentTypeBinding
contentTypeId="eomxml-type" />
</editor>

..

everything works fine if the file is not locked (this means that the
property of read-only = false).

If the file is in read-only mode I get the following error .

[NOTE: Problem solved if the editor input implements the IEncodedStorage
interface as well]

Looks like the result of
org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.IContentTypeMatcher.getDesc riptionFor(InputStream,
String, QualifiedName[]) wasn't being properly checked for null.
Please open a bug report so it can be fixed for 3.1.1.

Out of curiosity, what made you subclass the editor class? We
discourage it.

Hi Nitin
I have read everywhere that it is not a good idea extending the Structured
Text Editor … the problem is that I could not find any reasonable way to
solve my problem without extending it …

As I was saying in my first email I do use the editor to display content of
files in my db …
The set of operations that I had to perform are:

- Lock the object on opening (I can do this on the Storage during the init
step)
- “Check out” / “keep check in” the file on following save (this will give
the user the possibility to create sub version) – this can only be achieve
if I have control of the doSave method
- Last when the editor is closed I need to submit changes and release the
object (dispose method)

Probably I could have achieved the same result using listener on resource
changes ... but I found this time easier

Let me know if I could have done this in a better way.

Thanks
Kar

Ps I will post the previous mail as bug asap

Can't say that something better comes to mind. And while
discouraged, there's a reason we don't make the class final--we've
had to ignore that recommendation in a couple of cases ourselves.
