How to create normal SWT Composite with UI created in XWT?
Also same Composite should be used for handling events.
So, I've tried to use x:Class in XWT file, but this causes infinite recursion.
public class Composite_1 extends Composite {
public Composite_1(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, style);
setLayout(new FillLayout());
// load XWT
String name = Composite_1.class.getSimpleName() + IConstants.XWT_EXTENSION_SUFFIX;
try {
URL url = Composite_1.class.getResource(name);
XWT.load(this, url);
} catch (Throwable e) {
throw new Error("Unable to load " + name, e);
}
}
}
<Composite xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/xwt/presentation" xmlns:x="http://www.eclipse.org/xwt" x:Class="test.Composite_1">
<Composite.layout>
<RowLayout/>
</Composite.layout>
<Button text="Double click me!"/>
</Composite>
I think that reason is that XWT creates each time new instance of Composite_1, which tries to load XWT file, etc.
Is it possible to avoid x:Class instance, if given "parent" container is already instance of this class?
I'm aware of this discussion, but I want standalone SWT Composite, not just way to use nested XWT files. I.e. just keep XWT as internal details. Is this wrong idea? Which features of XWT I will lose by doing so? Something important in databinding?

Yes, each time, the XWT Loader will create an instance for each
specification of x:Class.
To prevent the creation, you can use the loadWithOptions() with the option
IXWTLoader.CLASS_PROPERTY
URL url = UserComposite.class.getResource(name);
Map<String, Object> options = new HashMap<String, Object>();
options.put(IXWTLoader.CLASS_PROPERTY, this);
options.put(IXWTLoader.CONTAINER_PROPERTY, this);
XWT.loadWithOptions(url, options);
In this case, you should remove the x:Class attribute in the XWT file.

We do it in inverse order. If the current element type is compatible with
x:Class, we reuse the x:Class instance, instead of creating a new one.

Franckly speaking, I have never considered this way to use XWT. My
understanding is this solution provides a solution to define a SWT composite
in XWT, which can be used in standard SWT programming API. But programming
approach is not really the focus of XWT.

I don't know exactly. XWT is not designed to work in this way.

OK, thank you.
It seems to work in general, but there is one problem with using such Composite in XWT itself.
For <p:MyComposite> it creates not MyComposite class, but Composite, becase <Composite> is used as root element in XWT file. As I can see, existing of XWT file is checked before checking if type of Metaclass is Widget.
So, when I use this Composite in Java SWT code, I can for example set properties defined in MyComposite.
public void setText(String text) {
Button button = (Button) XWT.findElementByName(m_control, "button");
button.setText(text);
}
But XWT creates wrong/incompatible type, so fails to set property value.
