Hello,

I integrated the EEF generated forms in a master-detail form. Everything appears to work fine except "Undo". When I debugged, I found that org.eclipse.emf.eef.runtime.impl.command. StandardEditingCommand doesn't seem to implement undo(). Do you have some tips on how to integrate an Undo feature. Do I have to implement EMF binding on my own? Or am I missing something.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Nirmal

Hi Nirmal,

It seems to be a bug we've fixed some weeks ago. Can you tell me the
version of EEF you use currently ?

Hello Goulwen,

Thats nice to hear. I am using EEF 0.9.0.v20101214-0947.

Is the new version available as a nightly/milestone build already?

Thanks & regards,
Nirmal

I migrated to the latest nightly built, and regenerated the models and architecture. But there seems to be compilation errors in some places.

In xxxPropertiesEditionComponent, the generated references to EReferencePropertiesEditionContext are always invalid. It complains about appropriate constructor not available in EReferencePropertiesEditionContext.

The constructor EReferencePropertiesEditionContext(PropertiesEditingContext, FuncDefPropertiesEditionComponent, EObjectFlatComboSettings, AdapterFactory) is undefined


Could this be a bug in the generators?

Regards,
Nirmal

Hi Nirmal,

I think I found what the problem. We haven't promote an operational
build on the nightly update site of EEF.

Now this is done, can you check you differents problems with this version.

Hello,

I updated to the new nightly version (0.9.0.v20110124-1449) and regenerated the model and code. But the above error I mentioned is still there. A required constructor seems to be missing in EReferencePropertiesEditionContext. Due you have any clue on whats going on?

Thanks a lot for your help until now.

Regards,
Nirmal

Edit: I see the error everywhere there is a multivalued reference. Good news is Undo seems to work fine now. But the above mentioned properties don't work (of course due to compilation errors)

HuM, your problem is very strange. Can you tell me in which context
(EReference/EAttribute/EEF Widet) this error is generated ?

Hello Goulwen,

It seems I could now nail down the problem. It happens always for EReference when the type referenced is an Abstract type.

xxxPropertiesEditionComponent.java

 
private EObjectFlatComboSettings typeSettings;

public void updateSemanticModel(final IPropertiesEditionEvent event) {

	if (ModeldefinitionViewsRepository.DataDef.Properties.type == event.getAffectedEditor()) {
		if (event.getKind() == PropertiesEditionEvent.SET)  {
			typeSettings.setToReference((MyType)event.getNewValue());
		} else if (event.getKind() == PropertiesEditionEvent.ADD)  {
			EReferencePropertiesEditionContext context = new EReferencePropertiesEditionContext(editingContext, this, typeSettings, editingContext.getAdapterFactory());
			PropertiesEditingProvider provider = (PropertiesEditingProvider)editingContext.getAdapterFactory().adapt(semanticObject, PropertiesEditingProvider.class);
			if (provider != null) {
				PropertiesEditingPolicy policy = provider.getPolicy(context);
				if (policy instanceof CreateEditingPolicy) {
					policy.execute();
				}
			}
		}
	}

}



Here ModeldefinitionViewsRepository.DataDef.Properties.type is reference to an Abstract type. Error is at this line
EReferencePropertiesEditionContext context = new EReferencePropertiesEditionContext(editingContext, this, typeSettings, editingContext.getAdapterFactory());

typeSettings is not compatible with the constructors available for EReferencePropertiesEditionContext

if (ModeldefinitionViewsRepository.DataDef.Properties.dataTypeTM == event.getAffectedEditor()) {
	if (event.getKind() == PropertiesEditionEvent.SET)  {
		dataTypeTMSettings.setToReference((T_ParaType)event.getNewValue());
	} else if (event.getKind() == PropertiesEditionEvent.ADD)  {
		T_ParaType eObject = TelemetryFactory.eINSTANCE.createT_ParaType();
		EObjectPropertiesEditionContext context = new EObjectPropertiesEditionContext(editingContext, this, eObject, editingContext.getAdapterFactory());
		PropertiesEditingProvider provider = (PropertiesEditingProvider)editingContext.getAdapterFactory().adapt(eObject, PropertiesEditingProvider.class);
		if (provider != null) {
			PropertiesEditingPolicy policy = provider.getPolicy(context);
			if (policy != null) {
				policy.execute();
			}
		}
		dataTypeTMSettings.setToReference(eObject);
	}
}


Here dataTypeTM is a concrete type and it works.

Please let me know if you have the required information now.

Regards,
Nirmal

Hi Nirmal,

I've fixed the problem but I'm always working on testing this version. I
hope giving you a version fixing this problem today.

Hi Nirmal,

We've just promoted a EEF 0.9.0RC1 version. Can you try the problem you
encountered last days with EEF :
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/eef/updates/milest ones/0.9

Beware, this version of EEF requires at least an Acceleo 3.0.2 :
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/acceleo/updates/mil estones/3.0

Hello Goulwen,

The latest nighly build fixes all the issues I was talking about. Thanks a lot.

However, there seems to be a bug that the dirty flag is fired even when no changes are made, but simply when the focus is lost.

Thanks again for your great work!

Regards,
Nirmal

Edit: Added issues with Undo

Yes it's the behaviour we defined to avoid flooding command stack.

There's no way to model another behaviour but in the EEF API, you can
use the
'StandardPropertiesEditionComponent.delayedFirePropertiesCha nge()'
method in order to implement a more 'standard' delayed behaviour

Hello Goulwen,

Did you manage to check the Undo problem I reported last? Would be nice if you could give me a short update.

There are two more issues which I face currently:

1. The viewers in the wizard dialogs don't react to changes to its displayed model elements . The property view reacts correctly when the model is changed that it updates its viewers and shows the updated content. The wizard dialogs however reflect the changes only when they are closed and opened again.

2. The wizard dialogs don't change models transactionally. If a wizard A brings up another wizard B, the changes comitted by wizard B are not reversed if wizard A is cancelled. Ideally, this is the expected behaviour even when "n" subdialogs are opened.

Could you please check these issues as well?

Thanks and regards,
Nirmal

I thought that all the problem we're fixed. Can you re-explains the
problem ?

I'm not sure that is the expected behaviour. Wizards are opened in
"Batch" mode. It means that

I don't reproduce this bug. I tried this case on the EEF Conference
Sample metamodel and it works well in this context.

Can you give me more hints to understand your problem ?

Hello Goulwen,

Thanks for your quick reply. I was talking about this undo problem.

1. The viewers in the wizard dialogs don't react to changes to its displayed model elements .


For example, lets say I have a Wizard with one ReferencesTable and a EObjectFlatComboViewer. I set a new value using EObjectFlatComboViewer. This results in some model changes for elements displayed in ReferencesTable (that is some objects might be removed, some might be added etc.). When I close the EObjectFlatComboViewer and return to the wizard, the wizard displays the old objects in the ReferencesTable. Isn't it expected that the ReferencesTable reacts to the changes of the elements it displays. I do not want to manually refresh the ReferencesTable table as I make my model changes based on notification and has no UI interactions.

My mistake. This works perfectly fine. Sorry about that.
