"Browse For Folder" Dialog does not work as expected [message #498312]

Hello everybody,

I'm using the "Browse For Folder" Dialog to browse RSE Filesystems. But
I'm running into some problems:

1.) When I create a new Connection using the dialog, It will only be
shown in the Connection field, when I close the dialog and open it again.

2.) To me it seams, that the "Password" Dialog is not shown properly.
When I try to browse the RSE Filesystem the first time (This is the time
when I would expect to see the Password dialog) The browser hangs. After
pressing "Cancel" I get to see the password dialog, but this is to late.

Any Ideas, what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
Martin

Hi Again,

I moved a little bit forward with my problem. It seams to be that I call
the browse dialg to early. I am using a wizard which I call from
postWindowOpen method of the applicatin workbench adviser.

does that help?

Regards
Martin

Hi David,

first of all many thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

The Problem still remains. Maybe It's helpfull if I add a little
background information. I am developing an application where users can
edit files on a remote system. During startup of the RCP application in
the method postWindowOpen() I check if a project was created with a link
to a remote filesystem. If not I trigger a wizard where the user can
create a link to the remote system (using
FileSystemContributor.browseFileSystem()). If I create a connection in
this dialog, I will not be able to see the connection in the then
following standard dialog where I can choose a file :-(

Nevertheless if I skip my wizard during startup and then call it after
startup is complete, everything works fine...

Regards
Martin

When I use the FileSystemContributor.browseFileSystem() method during
postWindowOpen() I can create a connection, but I don't see the
connection until I reopen my dialog. This only works around my problem

Hi Martin,

When I create a connection from within the "BrowseFor File" dialog (i.e.
from FileSystemContributor.browseFileSystem()), the connection gets added to
the list of connections in the Connection combo box. Are you saying that,
in your case, the new connection you created is not listed there?

Hi David,

yes, but only if I call the "Browse For File" dialog during startup from
the postWindowOpen() method ...

Keep in mind that I'm developing my own RCP.

The other symptom I have for I guess the same problem is, that if I have
created a link to a rse filesystem and restart my program, it just hangs
forever ...

Regards
Martin

If the problem is something that occurs during startup, then there are a
number of startup issues to consider. Before the RSE can be used, you need
to be sure that the RSE profile has been initialized properly. If this is
what's happening, one way to ensure that RSE is loaded is to call
RSECorePlugin.waitForInitCompletion() before using the RSE registry.

There are also some known issues with using RSE's EFS provider before
Eclipse has fully initialized (a chicken-and-egg problem). In order to
avoid that, you need to delay accessing RSE EFS resources until Eclipse is
fully loaded.

Hopefully this will help,
Dave
