Hi,
I am new to this forum as well as rcp development. I wanted to know how to connect a e4 rcp application to do CRUD on data entered in view.
Can someone guide me in right direction

Hey Praveen,
This forum is really about e4 technology which doesn't include Data
persistences. If you use JFace in your RCP app, there is JFace
databinding, to bind UI widget events to Objects. You can find stuff here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/JFace_Data_Binding
(Or checkout the JFace forum).

On the persistence side, you can really use any ORM Java solution,
Perhaps even combined with

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_object-relational_mapping_software#Java

Some might even nicely play with JFace Databinding

Hi Praven,
I'm using Gemini DbAccess in conjunction with Gemmini JPA for
persistence. Look at http://www.eclipse.org/gemini/dbaccess. For
Dependency Injection you can use
https://github.com/muuki88/org.eclipse.gemini.ext.di.

Don't use JFace DataBinding on the client side. This stuff is very very ugly and low level. Have a look at emf datamodels and create them out of your db data.

"Do not use JFace DataBinding... very very ugly and low level"?

Do you have any concrete examples to share with us which show what you mean?

It's too much boilderplate:

DataBindingContext ctx = new DataBindingContext();  
 IObservableValue widgetValue WidgetProperties.text(SWT.Modify).observe(ageTxt); IObservableValue modelValue = BeanProperties.value(Person.class, "age").observe(person);   UpdateValueStrategy widgetStrategy = new UpdateValueStrategy(); widgetStrategy.setBeforeSetValidator(new AgeValidator()); widgetStrategy.setConverter(new StringToIntConverter());   UpdateValueStrategy modelStrategy = new UpdateValueStrategy(); modelStrategy.setConverter(new IntToStringConverter()); Binding bindValue = ctx.bindValue(widgetValue, modelValue, widgetStrategy, modelStrategy);

This what I need in .net:

//make a new source
  MyData myDataObject = new MyData(DateTime.Now);      
  Binding myBinding = new Binding("MyDataProperty");
  myBinding.Source = myDataObject;
  myText.SetBinding(TextBlock.TextProperty, myBinding);

plus some proper xml definitions. In QT there are signals and slots. Even better....

That's the biggest bullsh*t I have heard in years.

Have a look at emf datamodels and create them out of your
And EMFDatabinding would help you there as well.

You compare apples and bananas Valuestrategies are optional, you can
pass null for the default strategy.

Hi,

We have a framework named EMap [1] which allows one to map EMF-Objects
into a database very effeciently. We have not yet made this framework
very public but we use it internally with big success!

Combine this with EMF-Edit and ore EMF-Databinding and you have a world
class framework!

Hi all,
is this a replacement for Texo / Teneo?

Ralf.

More of a replacement for Teneo and more important for us Hibernate. We
had performance and more important JDBC-Connection issues with Teneo &
Hibernate 4.0.

Our startup performance improved by a factor of 500%, we have no
classloader problems anymore, we had some heavy FETCH JOIN and
LAZYLOADING issues and much more.

It is no replacement for Texo because Texo works with simple POJOs which
we don't - we require EObjects because we make use of the reflective
EObject API.
