Sorry to disturb again and doubly sorry because I'm cross-posting, but
I'm not sure what's the right place for this.

I'm trying to build a custom editor for my model written using EMF.
I am using forms to be consistent with normal eclipse behavior.
After some experimentation I managed to have a structure I like and it
is somewhat working.
I have a multi-page editor, but that is unimportant because my problems
are on the first "overview" page.
This is a simple (?) Master/Details page holding a TreeViewer on the
master block and a few DetailsPage's

Problem is in the DetailsPage's.

I have the following:

public class ChapterDetailsPage implements IDetailsPage {
private Chapter chapter; //<< this is the EMF Interface to display
....
public void createContents(Composite parent) {
//testComposite = new testComposite(parent, SWT.NONE);
//parent.setLayout(new FillLayout());
FormToolkit toolkit = managedForm.getToolkit();
parent.setLayout(new FillLayout());
//
Section sctnBook = toolkit.createSection(parent,
ExpandableComposite.EXPANDED | ExpandableComposite.TITLE_BAR);
sctnBook.setText("Chapter");

.... create the detail form this seems ok ...

if (chapter != null) // never entered: at creation time chapter
== null
m_bindingContext = initDataBindings();
}

public void selectionChanged(IFormPart part, ISelection selection) {
IStructuredSelection structuredSelection =
(IStructuredSelection) selection;
if (structuredSelection.size()==1) {
Chapter c = (Chapter)structuredSelection.getFirstElement();
if (!c.equals(chapter)) {
chapter = c;
if (m_bindingContext == null) << HERE IS PROBLEM (see
below)
m_bindingContext = initDataBindings();
update();
}
}
}

// here I do my Databindings; are they OK?
protected DataBindingContext initDataBindings() {
DataBindingContext bindingContext = new DataBindingContext();
//
IObservableValue txtTitleObserveTextObserveWidget =
SWTObservables.observeText(txtTitle, SWT.Modify);
IObservableValue bookTitleObserveValue =
EMFObservables.observeValue(chapter, Literals.CHAPTER__TITLE);
bindingContext.bindValue(txtTitleObserveTextObserveWidget,
bookTitleObserveValue, null, null);
//
IObservableValue txtDescObserveTextObserveWidget =
SWTObservables.observeText(txtDesc, SWT.Modify);
IObservableValue bookDescObserveValue =
EMFObservables.observeValue(chapter, Literals.CHAPTER__DESC);
bindingContext.bindValue(txtDescObserveTextObserveWidget,
bookDescObserveValue, null, null);
//
ObservableListContentProvider listContentProvider = new
ObservableListContentProvider();
tViewer.setContentProvider(listContentProvider);
//
IObservableMap[] observeMaps =
EMFObservables.observeMaps(listContentProvider.getKnownEleme nts(), new
EStructuralFeature[]{Literals.SCENE__TITLE, Literals.CHAPTER__DESC});
tViewer.setLabelProvider(new
ObservableMapLabelProvider(observeMaps));
//
IObservableList bookChapterObserveList =
EMFObservables.observeList(Realm.getDefault(), chapter,
Literals.CHAPTER__SCENE);
tViewer.setInput(bookChapterObserveList);
//
return bindingContext;
}
}

Problem is this way I do not track the changes when chapter changes.
This is because the bindings are done only once and thus the form always
displays the same content.

The obvious workaround: reinitialize the bindings each time chapter is
updated (remove the problematic "if (m_bindingContext == null)" doesn't
work either because I get exceptions:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.AssertionFailedException: assertion failed:
Getter called on disposed observable
org.eclipse.emf.databinding.EObjectObservableMap@1655fb9

org.eclipse.core.runtime.AssertionFailedException: assertion failed:
Getter called on disposed observable
org.eclipse.emf.databinding.EObjectObservableMap@1655fb9

So I suspect I have done something seriously wrong with databinding.
Unfortunately I was not able to find a suitable example code.

I have found Master/Details and I have found EMF separately.
I did not find Master/Details and found EMF together.

Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot

Mauro

Hi,

My tutorial [1] on EMF-Databinding shows Master-Detail in action.

Am I correct in assuming that the field chapter is changing all the time?

I don't see you createing a detail-observables but only standard
observables.

If I get your code right.

Then you need change:

a) Instance field to:
WritableList chapter = new WritableList();

b) Create your bindings:
EMFObservables.observeDetail(chapter,....)

Please also note that you are using the old EMFObservables-Factory
whereas the newer EMFProperties should be preferred.

Answering to myself :)
I found the following is somewhat working.
see below.

With this update (somewhat working) code I have two major problems:
1) The TableViewer (tViewer) always displays just one column: the first
one defined in observeMaps. The others are silently ignored. I'm missing
something, but I can't divine what.
2) I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm blindly coping pieces of code
found googling around, but I miss a somewhat general picture. All usage
of EMFObservables is rather obscure to me.

Can someone shed light around, pretty please?

Thanks in Advance
Mauro

You are not showing us how you create the table viewer:
a) You need to create your Table/TableViewer-Columns
b) You need to set a LabelProvider to each of them

See my tutorial code in CVS.

What you are doing is correct Master-Detail binding. Did you go through
my EMF-Databinding Tutorial and the source code it is coming with?
