Trouble using multiple creation tools on a same node [message #148033]

Hello,

I try to have a diagram with several creation tools creating a same class
node with different figures.
So, I have :
- a node class named MyNode,
- two figures named MyNodeFigure1 and MyNodeFigure2
- two creation tools, Creation Tool 1 (attaching MyNodeFigure1 to a MyNode
node) and Creation Tool 2 (attaching MyNodeFigure2 to a MyNode node)

The Creation tool 2 is the second generated creation tool in the order of
appearance in the map file and it does not work...

Objects created by Creation Tool 2 don't appeared until you move (with the
mouse) an other object on the diagram. Furthermore, these objects are
created using the figure MyNodeFigure1 (corresponding to the first tool, and
not the second one).

This trouble is easily reproducible and it is really blocking for me.
Someone could help me to fix it ? I use the latest release GMF 2.0.

Thanks,
Fabrice Dubach

Hello Fabrice,

Looks like MyNodeFigure2 will be substituted by MyNodeFigure1 just after
creation because GMF can not destinguish between these two nodes while performing
diagram update. I suggest you to generate non-synchronized diagram or add
some property to your domain model + corresponding constraints to both node
mappings helping GMF to destinguish between MyNodeFigure1 and MyNodeFigure2.

Alex,

As you suggest, I added constraints on my two kinds of node and all is
running well. Obviously, as you said, it's help a bit GMF to link object
nodes with representative nodes !

Thanks a lot,
Fabrice
