Transaction use in Graphiti [message #1153109]

Hello everyboy,

I started using the property sheets everything looked fine. I created the fields and I could show the values of the clicked business object.

The thing is that I want to modify the business object using the property sheet. So i added a listener to one field:

nameText.addModifyListener(new ModifyListener(){

    @Override
        public void modifyText(ModifyEvent e) {
            Text text = (Text) e.widget;
            bo.setName(text.getText());				
        }
			
    });

It crashes because I need to use a transaction (cannot modify the business object there). The thing is that I do not know which kind of transaction I do need.

Any help will be so "thanked" =)

Best regards,

Víctor.

Hi Victor,

I had a similar problem several days ago, and I found a solution at this link. Hope this helps you.

Kind regards,
Vladimir

You can get :

TransactionalEditingDomain editingDomain = getDiagramContainer().getDiagramBehavior().getEditingDomain();

and you can edit your bo inside :

editingDomain.getCommandStack().execute(
    new RecordingCommand(editingDomain, label) {
        protected void doExecute() {
            // here
        }
});

Thank you two. Finally I did what Marek said and it worked. But there is one problem with it. This is what I have in my Section class:

//OBJECT NAME
		nameText = factory.createText(composite, "");
		data = new FormData();
		data.left = new FormAttachment(0, 100);
		data.right = new FormAttachment(100, 0);
		data.top = new FormAttachment(0, VSPACE);
		nameText.setLayoutData(data);
		nameText.addModifyListener(new ModifyListener(){

			@Override
			public void modifyText(ModifyEvent event) {
				
				e = event;
				
				TransactionalEditingDomain editingDomain = getDiagramContainer().getDiagramBehavior().getEditingDomain();
				
				editingDomain.getCommandStack().execute(
					new RecordingCommand(editingDomain, "") {
						protected void doExecute() {
					    	Text text = (Text) e.widget;
					        if(bo!=null){
								bo.setName(text.getText());

								org.eclipse.graphiti.mm.algorithms.Text t = (org.eclipse.graphiti.mm.algorithms.Text) cs
										.getGraphicsAlgorithm();
								t.setValue(bo.getName());
					        }
					        	
					    }
				});
		        			
			}
			
		});

When the pictogram object is already created everything is ok. But when I create the object for the first time, as it is selected when you create it, this code is executed and this time it crashes (when bo.setName(text.getText()); is executed).

It tells me to use it inside a write transaction (BUT THIS IS WHAT I AM DOING! =) )

Any idea? thanks again,

Víctor.

Victor,

not sure, could it be that the write transaction for the creation is still
open? In that case another write transaction would not be allowed.

Victor,

If this happens only on fresh created element, there's a chance you're creating it in a different EditionDomain. A quick test would be to reorder the code. Try this:

	org.eclipse.graphiti.mm.algorithms.Text t = (org.eclipse.graphiti.mm.algorithms.Text) cs.getGraphicsAlgorithm();
	t.setValue(text.getText());
	bo.setName(text.getText());

.

If it fails in the bo.setName, but not in the t.setValue, bo is inside a different EditingDomain. If that's the case, review how do you read or update the object to make sure you use the same Editing Domain

In my project I rather avoid setting initial values in property sheets. For me this task fits much more to CreateFeature.
