Hello!

I'm trying to show an Event received via OSGi-EventAdmin. Within my RCP-App everything works fine. Thanks to Tom Schindl and http://tomsondev.bestsolution.at/2011/01/03/enhanced-rcp-how -views-can-communicate/ .

Now in RAP I tried first following:

class ... {
...
Composite parent;
TableViewer tableViewer;
	
	@Override
	protected Composite createEventCompositeInternal(final Composite parent) {
		this.parent = parent;
                this.tableViewer = new TableViewer(composite);

                BundleContext ctx = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(Client.class)
				.getBundleContext();
		EventHandler handler = new EventHandler() {
			public void handleEvent(final Event event) {
				UICallBack.activate("alarm");
				Thread bgThread = new Thread(createRunnable(event));
				bgThread.setDaemon(true);
				bgThread.start();

			}
		};

		Dictionary<String, String> properties = new Hashtable<String, String>();
		properties.put(EventConstants.EVENT_TOPIC, "events");
		ctx.registerService(EventHandler.class.getName(), handler, properties);

		return composite;
	}

	private Runnable createRunnable(final Event event) {
		return new Runnable() {
			public void run() {
				// do some work...
				// schedule the UI update
				parent.getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
					public void run() {
						// update the UI
						tableViewer.add(event.toString());
					}
				});
				// Deactivate the UI call-back
				parent.getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
					public void run() {
						UICallBack.deactivate("alarm");
					}
				});
			}
		};
	}


But this throws the following exception:
Log ErrorException while dispatching event org.osgi.service.event.Event [topic=events] to handler client.EventCompositeFacadeImpl$2@5ecfe500
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No context available outside of the request service lifecycle.


Looking in the RAP-FAQ for the IllegalstateException then tried UICallBack#runNonUIThreadWithFakeContext:
class...{
        Composite parent;
	TableViewer tableViewer;
	
	@Override
	protected Composite createEventCompositeInternal(final Composite parent) {
		this.parent = parent;
		Composite composite = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
		composite.setLayout(new FillLayout());

		this.tableViewer = new TableViewer(composite);
		this.tableViewer.getTable().setHeaderVisible(true);
		this.tableViewer.getTable().setLinesVisible(true);
		this.tableViewer.setLabelProvider(new ColumnLabelProvider() {
			@Override
			public String getText(Object element) {
				// return DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance().format(element);
				return element.toString();
			}
		});

		BundleContext ctx = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(Client.class)
				.getBundleContext();
		EventHandler handler = new EventHandler() {
			public void handleEvent(final Event event) {
		UICallBack.runNonUIThreadWithFakeContext(parent.getDisplay(),
						new Runnable() {
							public void run() {
								// do some work...
								// schedule the UI update
								parent.getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
									public void run() {
										// update the UI
										tableViewer.add(event.toString());
									}
								});
							}
						});

			}
		};

		Dictionary<String, String> properties = new Hashtable<String, String>();
		properties.put(EventConstants.EVENT_TOPIC, "events");
		ctx.registerService(EventHandler.class.getName(), handler, properties);


No Exception is thrown, but the UI does not automatically refresh. I have to first resize the browser window or the click in the tableviewer to see the new added events to the table.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
in your second example the UICallBack is not activated at all, thus UI
does not automatically refresh.
HTH,
Ivan

Short answer but very helpful! Very Happy

For others searching the same question here the running code:
...
		UICallBack.activate("alarm");
		
		BundleContext ctx = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(Client.class)
				.getBundleContext();
		EventHandler handler = new EventHandler() {
			public void handleEvent(final Event event) {

				
				Thread bgThread = new Thread(createRunnable(event));
				bgThread.setDaemon(true);
				bgThread.start();

			}
		};

               Dictionary<String, String> properties = new Hashtable<String, String>();
		properties.put(EventConstants.EVENT_TOPIC, "Events");
		ctx.registerService(EventHandler.class.getName(), handler, properties);

...
private Runnable createRunnable(final Event event) {
		return new Runnable() {
			public void run() {
				UICallBack.runNonUIThreadWithFakeContext(parent.getDisplay(),
						new Runnable() {
							public void run() {
								// do some work...
								// schedule the UI update
								parent.getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
									public void run() {
										// update the UI
										tableViewer.add(event.toString());
									}
								});
							}
						});
			}
		};
	}

Hi Stefan,
it's great that your code is running fine now. I will suggest to
deactivate the UICallBack when it is not needed anymore. In other words
- activate before you start the background thread, deactivate it when
the job is done.
Best,
Ivan
