Copy And Paste of graphical Elements [message #1071572] Sat, 20 July 2013 09:51 Go to next message

Hi All,

I have implemented the Copy and Paste functionality on the Graphical editor.
Now the new copied element comes up fine on the editor. However any manipulation I do on this new element gets reflected on the other element from where this new element was copied.

The reason I think is because I have copied only the graphical pictogram element and not the underlying business element.

It would be really helpful if anybody can point me in the right direction in resolving this issue i.e. copying of business model element.

Thanks & Regards,
Rahul

Hi Everyone,

The above mentioned issue is resolved and the graphical elements are getting copied perfectly. However just after the paste action completes I get an error as shown below:

Could anybody please let me know why this is happening ?

Rahul,

do you trigger a select of the new shape in your paste feature? If yes, that
might come to early (the GEF edit part is set up on refresh after your
feature finished). You might try to schedule the select to happen
asynchronously after the feature.

Hello All,

Now I have got another issue.

I copy a graphical element from an editor and paste it in another editor. Now when I do that I receive IllegalStateException.

However if I paste the graphical element in the same editor, then without any exception the paste action is successful. However pasting the graphical element in some other editor throws an exception as shown above.

Also the paste action happens within a TransactionalEditingDomain.

Could you please let me know where am I going wrong ?

Thanks & Regards,
Rahul

Rahul,

it seems you try to trigger a Graphiti custom action / custom feature from
somewhere (I can't see in the stack trace, there seems to be an asynchronous
trigger). That call is done directly and changes the EMF model; Graphiti
uses EMF Transactions and that framework requires all model modifications to
happen inside a transaction. Try wrapping your call into somthing like this:

TransactionalEditingDomain ted = TransactionUtil.getEditingDomain(diagram);
ted.getCommandStack().execute(new RecordingCommand(editingDomain) {

@Override
protected void doExecute() {
<your call here>
}
});
