problem with selection provider: domain object wanted instead of editpart [message #240990]

Hi!

I am facing the following problem: I have an graphical gef editor where
you model a graph. when you select an element (realized as an editpart),
the selection is given to the workbench selection service, so that other
views can react. however, i do not want the other views to know about
editparts at all and would prefer that the ISelection-Object received
after an event contains the domain model object behind the editpart, and
not the editpart itself.

thanks for any help!

me again:

i found this newsgroup article
" http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.gef/msg1 3873.html".

the same question is asked, but no sufficient reply is given.
of course you can always get the model from an editpart, but why should
the a view showing domain objects know about editparts?!

I imagine your could do something like the following, as we did in EMF,
to filter another selection provider's selections and forward that
filtered result from your editor. (We use this to unwrap objects when
we register a context menu that that object actions see the underlying
objects and not the wrappers.)

|*package *org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.provider;

*import *java.util.List;

*import *org.eclipse.emf.common.util.UniqueEList;
*import *org.eclipse.emf.edit.domain.AdapterFactoryEditingDomain;
*import *org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ISelection;
*import *org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ISelectionChangedListener;
*import *org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ISelectionProvider;
*import *org.eclipse.jface.viewers.IStructuredSelection;
*import *org.eclipse.jface.viewers.SelectionChangedEvent;
*import *org.eclipse.jface.viewers.StructuredSelection;

*public class *UnwrappingSelectionProvider *implements *ISelectionProvider
{
*protected *ISelection selection;
*protected *List<ISelectionChangedListener> listeners = *new *UniqueEList.FastCompare<ISelectionChangedListener>();
*protected *ISelectionChangedListener selectionChangedListener =
*new *ISelectionChangedListener()
{
*public **void *selectionChanged(SelectionChangedEvent event)
{
setSelection(event.getSelection());
}
};

*public *UnwrappingSelectionProvider(ISelectionProvider selectionProvider)
{
selectionProvider.addSelectionChangedListener(selectionChang edListener);
setSelection(selectionProvider.getSelection());
}

*public **void *addSelectionChangedListener(ISelectionChangedListener listener)
{
listeners.add(listener);
}

*public *ISelection getSelection()
{
*return *selection;
}

*public **void *removeSelectionChangedListener(ISelectionChangedListener listener)
{
listeners.remove(listener);
}

*public **void *setSelection(ISelection selection)
{
*if *(selection *instanceof *IStructuredSelection)
{
Object [] objects = ((IStructuredSelection)selection).toArray();
*for *(*int *i = 0; i < objects.length; ++i)
{
objects[i] = unwrap(objects[i]);
}
*this*.selection = *new *StructuredSelection(objects);
}
*else*
{
*this*.selection = selection;
}
fireSelectionChanged();
}

*protected *Object unwrap(Object object)
{
*return *AdapterFactoryEditingDomain.unwrap(object);
}

*protected **void *fireSelectionChanged()
{
*for *(ISelectionChangedListener selectionChangedListener : listeners)
{
selectionChangedListener.selectionChanged(*new *SelectionChangedEvent(this, selection));
}
}
