| INodeNotifier behavior on SSE editor [message #206851] |

In one of my projects I need to listen to the changes on SSE source
editor. After some digging I found the interfaces I need: INodeNotifier
and INodeAdapter. I am now able to listen to most of the changes made to
the source. However I did find updating the name of an attribute wouldn't
trigger anything on my INodeAdapter. Why is this the case? Are there any
other modifications that won't go through this notification mechanism? And
what can I do in this case? Thanks in advance for your help.

I'd have to dig around a lot to really recall and re-understand, but in general, we may just have never found a need to.
These adapters are primarily used to keep two models in synch and most the models, I'd guess, didn't care too much about attributes.
And, part of the reason for that is that the attribute values are "always in synch". That is, anytime a model needed it, it would simply get the value.
Are you too using it to keep another model up to date with the DOM ... or, something else?
I think some clients that needed real fine level notificaiton also listen to IDocument events.
There were some parts of the INode Notification that was also determined by performance needs ... again, I don't recall for sure, but I think Text Nodes acts a little differently for this reason.
It'd be interesting to hear what you're using it for.

Some of this might explain why when an attribute node is deleted through
a DOM call, it doesn't appear that the underlying model is updated
correctly right away. The W3C DOM Level 1 confornmance tests have lots
of problems with the way the attributes are implemented by the DOM that
overlays the SSE model.

You might be interested in following this bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=214439
It has to do with trying to get the SSE DOM so that it passes as many of
the W3C DOM Level 1 conformance tests as possible. Unfortunately, I
have not be able to find any conformance tests for DOM Level 2 and Level
3. It seems that only DOM Level 1 tests were ever completed.
My personal goal would be to have the SSE DOM fully conformant, but this
is going to take a lot of work and verification to find out what it will
break with the existing implementation.
