Hi Kai,
I don't think there's direct support for this currently. The only
possibility i see currently is to create a volatile transient feature
(height) whenever the height changes you fire a notification for the
height feature.
If you have further question please we should discuss on the
EMF-Newsgroup - I think with the 3.5 properties API one can also observe
map-attributes but I'm not 100% sure.

Hi Kai,
What one would need to write is an ObservableValue implementation for a
Map-Entry (as the current EMFObservables.observeMap() is for multi
valued features).
I'll take a look into how EMap-works and how it fires events so that one
could write an ObservableValue implementation for a specific key.
Something like this:
EMFObservables#observeMapEntry(
EObject obj,
EStructuralFeature feature,
String key)
I've never used EMap before but does it fire events on map changes?
The properties API I mentioned before isn't a solution and when using
EMF you could not use it because I'm still working on the EMF-port [1]
or if you prefer a workspace setup of the appropriate modules (I had to
patch the databinding.core which I need to recode soon) and see example
usage[2].

Guys,
An EMap is effectively just a list of EObjects that implement
Map.Entry. There's no generated API/interface for the map entry EClass,
but the usual meta data for it exists in the generated package and such
an EClass will always have a "key" and a "value" feature. So you should
be able to observe the one entry in the usual way. You could use
eMap.indexOf(key) and then eMap.get(index) to get the Map.Entry and then
you could cast it to EObject...

Thanks for the explanations, Ed.
Do you have a simple example when using a bindingContext?
Lets assume the simple data structure from my first posting:
class Building extends EObject {
EMap props
}
and now I need the IObservableValue of myBuilding.getProps.get("height")
for example to bind it to a text.
EMFObservables.observeValue(myBuilding.getProps, ???)
Thanks,
Kai

Hi Ed,
I just looked how an feature modeled as an EMap works and I'm sorry but
I think I don't get it. An EMap is an ordinary java.util.Map and it
doesn't fire events. Do you by change talk about an EFeatureMap?
So I don't see a chance to provide an ObservableValue implementation for
an entry in the map.

This should yield you an EObject you can observe like all the other
examples:
(EObject)myBuilding.getProps().get(getProps().indexOfKey("height "))
Presumably there is a XyzPackage.Literals.STRING_TO_ABC_MAP__VALUE
feature for that map entry...

No, it's not. It's a containment EList with all the other methods on a
java.util.Map, and you can get a Map view of it.

FeatureMap is a different thing. No one asked about that yet I don't think.

Yes because the Map.Entry instances implement EObject (because the EMap
is just a containment list).

Hi,
Could you guys please provide me with a simple .ecore so that I generate
the code and write an ObservableValue implementation which should be
quite easy?

Tom,
Ecore.ecore has EAnnotation.details so you can do this directly with the
Ecore model. I'm not sure that anything that doesn't already exist is
needed...

Hi,
I added a factory method to my current working branch of EMF-Databinding
[1] (where I mainly implement the IProperty-Interfaces of 3.5).
You can fetch the sources from my public git repo [2] which also
provides a nice RCP Example Application showing many (if not all aspects
of Eclipse-Databinding with EMF).
If you are interested in EMF-Technologies (Ecore, Teneo, CDO) and RCP
I'll present all those concepts at EclipseCon 2009 [3].

Hi Tom.
Do I miss something? I cannot find this method in the EMFObservable class.

Probably I removed it in later iterations (I really can't even remember
this very discussion) :-(. I guess you are in need of such a method right?
If you need something file a bugzilla and CC me on the bug. I hope I can
find some time and motivation (I'm trying hard to remotivate myself but
didn't fully succeeded yet) to spend on EMF-Databinding .

Hy Tom,
got here after our e4-dev discussion on persistentState ... well very unfortunate you removed it, I could really use it to realize the binding to keys in the Map. Is this still an ongoing topic or did you completely cease work on this?
thanks,
