Multiple DomainObjects per Pictogram [message #1705218] Wed, 12 August 2015 21:46 Go to next message

I'm stuck at separating layout information from other attributes. The layout - like the position of a specific element has to be saved separated (but same file) from other attributes in my domainmodel.

I tried following:

@Override
public Object[] create(ICreateContext context) {
 //...
 // generation of separated EObjects
 MyUtil.saveBoToFile(myEObject1, myEObject2);
 return Object[] { myEObject1, myEObject2};
}


but calling
getAllBusinessObjectsForPictogramElement(pe);

only returns the primary BO.

I managed to save both BOs to file, but on moving/deleting only the primary one gets edited.

How could this be done? -Thank you very much.

Anton,

the information about which pictogram element is linked to which domain
object needs to be maintained by you using the link(...) method on the
feature. Do you call that for each of the domain objects?

Thank you for your reply,

exactly that was my mistake - although I called link() right, the FeatureProvider couldn't find the match for the other BO. I had to create an extra AddFeature.

What's the best practice here? - Calling link() with all BusinessObjects combined in a List once and use only one AddFeature or better separate the AddFeatures?

Anton,

I would rather go for seperate AddFeatures in general.
