[GMF] Read attribute of current selected node in canvas [message #759156] Sun, 27 November 2011 02:45 Go to next message

Suppose i got the following model :
(its an eugenia model)

@namespace(uri="trustcasemodel", prefix="trustcasemodel")
@gmf(foo="bar")
package trustCase;

@gmf.diagram(onefile="false")
class TrustCase {
attr String path;
val Claim[*] valclaims;
val Fact[*] facts;
}
@gmf.node(foo="bar")
class Claim {
attr String path;
}
@gmf.node(foo="bar")
class Fact {
attr String path;
}


Now i have a new Plugin adding an action to the top menu bar.
This Plugin should now read the "path" variable from the current selected Node in canvas.
Whats the code for that ?

I simply want to open the file shown by path.

If that doesn't work, can i do it by double click on a node ?

I'm really frustrated an that.
I only need the option to make a systemcall on the mentioned path.
It's not really important which action triggers that call.....
Anybody got an idea ?

How can i get a specific known attribute ("path") from a selected node in canvas ?

With

( EditPart part = ((EditPart)((IStructuredSelection)HandlerUtil.getCurrentSelection(event)).getFirstElement());


i get the currently selected node in canvas.
This is a ClaimEditPart or a FactEditPart.

How can i get the path-attribute from that EditPart ?

If i want to cast the EditPart to a specific xxxEditPart.java like that

FactEditPart editpart = (FactEditPart) part;
editpart.resolveSemanticElement();


i always got the following error :

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: trustCase/diagram/edit/parts/FactEditPart

How can i fix this ?

Hi Snakebyte,

You should ask the EMFatic community for that.

this is not an emfatic question.
The community over there just told me to ask here.
Because everything modelled in emfatic just creates an .ecore file.

In this file i got an entity type called Claim and Fact.

In GMF this will result in 2 types of nodes : Claim and Fact.

Now i want to read the attribute of the current selected node in canvas.

Is this possible ?

Ok,

Then:
1. Retrieve the selection:
ISelection sel
PlatformUI.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActiveSite().getSelection()
2. Get EditPart for it:
editPart = (IGraphicalEditPart)
((IStructuredSelection)sel).getFirstElement()
3. Get your model element:
Claim claim = (Claim) editPart.resolveSemanticElement()
4. Request your claim:
claim.getMyAttribute()

Is this what you want?

Yes thats what i would like to do:

Exactly i cast the Object to ClaimImpl.

But when i do this i get the following error.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: trustCase/ClaimImpl

How can that be ?

I imported the class :

import trustCase.impl.ClaimImpl;


??

The java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError is probably not related to GMF.
That's probably an issue with your classpath (Require-Bundle or
Bundle-Classpath or build.properties...) or your JVM version being
different at runtime and devtime.
The Stack should give you more details to troubleshot it.

I tried it like this :

EObject obj = geditpart.resolveSemanticElement();
FactImpl fact = ((FactImpl) obj);


and get this:

That means you have several references to the jar that provide you the
FactImpl in your classpath. The dependency should only be defined in
your Require-Bundle, nothing more.

Because you're lucky ;)
By the way, I suggest you to use the interface rather than the Impl objects.

Because its a plugin in want the dependancie in the Manifest file.

Thats why i got 2 References.
Now its running.

Another question.
Is it possible to simple use one of the set- methods to change a property ?
Or is that in some case problematic in a generated model ?

With GMF, your models must be modified withing Transaction. This
transaction will require you to use a command stack and to feed it with
the EMF commands to modify your model,
Using a set... method on model elements will fail because you need to
use these commandStack.

So you should
1. Get your Editor
2. Get your TransactionEditDomain.getCommandStack()
3. commandStack.execute(new SetCommand(...))

This pattern provides you ability to save and perform undo/redo.

Regards.
