Hello.

I've already been some time working with a CommonNavigator for my
application and I got stuck several times with the way it handles the
refreshing of its elements in the Viewer.

My content provider don't list the real EMF elements, but some wrappers
that contains them (this is this way cauase I need some extra information
for each one in the navigator). My ContentProvider extends the class
AdapterFactoryContentProvider. My Navigator is synchronized with the
diagram, they both share the same EditingDomain so changes in model
elements should automatically appear in the Navigator. In the
AdapterConentProvider there is a method notifyChanged(Notification) which
receives notifications when changes are performed in the model, but I
noticed it is not getting the same notifications as if it were added
directly in mdoel elements as a listener (like EditParts do). What I mean
by this is the following: For some elememts, if I modify them (for examle
I change the name) the navigator is not getting any notification and hence
it is not refreshing it contents.

So I dont know how it is getting the notifications. I tried the following:
make my wrappers implements Adapter interface and make them listen to its
model object. Then they get all notifications, and I can call the
navigator.refresh(). The problem then is that for every change, the number
of notifications (all being the same) gets multiplied! I don't know what
the refresh method is doing exactly as to get that many notifications
involved.

Any idea on how to make this work properly??

Thank u guys

Somehow I fixed the problem.

I couldn't make notifyChanged() of the AdapterFactory to get all
notifications, so I tried to improve the workaround of making the
wrapper listens to its EObject element. There, when I get the
notification I'm not getting in the Factory, I refresh the
CommonNavigator viewer. I was doing it by viewer.refresh(true) and this
is what was making EMF model to multiply the notifications: for first
change in the model it was just one notification, for second change it
sent 2 notifications, for third change it sent 4 and so on... So instead
of refreshing like that, I'm using this method:

NotifyChangedToViewerRefresh.handleNotifyChanged
(final Viewer viewer,
final Object object,
final int eventType,
final Object feature,
final Object oldValue,
final Object newValue,
final int index)
