Persisting _all_ values? [message #422728] Mon, 15 September 2008 13:36 Go to next message

Dear NG,

I have another question:
I am working with a generated editor out of an ECore model. When I save
the work (in the runtime of the editor) it creates a XML file (just as
setup in the genmodel) which is fine.
Unfortunately the editor's "save routine" does not persist values which
are set to it's default value.
Can I (somehow) tell the persistence layer to save all values to the XML
file, including those which are set to it's default values?

In addition: How would I override the save routine if I wanted to do it
all by myself?

With regards, Morten.

This will serialize the explicit default of the attributes (but not the
implicit default, i.e., the 0 for an int):

/**
* Keep default content ( e.g. default attributes). This applies
to saving and converting contents to DOM.
* By default the default content is discarded.
* To save the default content, set this option to
<code>Boolean.TRUE</code>.
*/
String OPTION_KEEP_DEFAULT_CONTENT = "KEEP_DEFAULT_CONTENT";

Sorry Ed,
I understand what you are telling me but I don't get it to work. I
searched the forum / internet for help but no success.

I did the following: In the I did two overrides in the specialisation of
the XMLResourceImpl implementation of the editor this way:

@Override
public void doSave(OutputStream outputStream, Map<?, ?> options) throws
IOException {
this.getDefaultSaveOptions().put(XMLResource.OPTION_KEEP_DEF AULT_CONTENT,
Boolean.TRUE);
super.doSave(outputStream, options);
}

@Override
public void doSave(Writer writer, Map<?, ?> options) throws IOException {
this.getDefaultSaveOptions().put(XMLResource.OPTION_KEEP_DEF AULT_CONTENT,
Boolean.TRUE);
super.doSave(writer, options);
}

Notice I first tried tried directly:
options.put(XMLResource.OPTION_KEEP_DEFAULT_CONTENT, Boolean.TRUE);

....but this gave me the following error:
The method put(capture#3-of ?, capture#4-of ?) in the type
Map<capture#3-of ?,capture#4-of ?> is not applicable for the arguments
(String, Boolean)

Either way the XML serialisation does not change at all.

This might sound stupid, but what am I missing?

With regards, Morten.

It's expect you to modify the factory. Did you check to notice that
adding it to the default options at this point is already too late?

Yes, you shouldn't modify the map the client passed in.

Darn... obiously. Thanks Ed, it works now. Seems not to have been one of
my smartest days. :-(
