Hi,

We're trying to show a list of persons which input is set as an observablelist. Therefore we have a person EMF Resource which holds all persons. When a person is doubleclicked we want to make a separate resource for this person, so when this resource is saved, only one person is saved.

Is there a way to do this or is this the wrong approach?

Is it intended they be removed from "all persons" resource.

What you describe is similar to the "ControlAction" which can be used to
move an object in a proxy resolving containment reference (a containment
reference that's allowed to cross resource boundaries) to its own resource.

Thanks for your answer. Do you have an example on how to use this controlaction?

Ricky,

You can see this in any model that has resolving containment proxies.
You need to set "Containment Proxies" to true in the GenModel for that
to be supported. An example you can try is in an Ecore model, an EClass
has "Control..." item on the context menu for invoking this action.

I see, that is exactly what i'm looking for.. but how should invoke it in my situation. My selection contains an EObject and I want to control this object.

My object is controllable because this: editingDomain.isControllable(object); returns true. But how can I gain control? Do I have to specify a new URI and load a new resource?

Ricky,

What you described sounded a little different though. You had objects
that are directly contained in a resource and an object cannot be
contained by two resources at once. If you created an object that via
proxy resolving containment held all the Person instances, and set your
GenModel Containment Proxies to true, then it will "just work" in your
generated editor without you writing any code.

Ok, this is my model:

Container
- 0..* persons : Person
Person
- id
- name

My initial resource is loaded by 'hibernate://?sessionController=SC&query1=FROM Container'. My tableviewer with all persons is filled with this input: 'new EditingDomainEObjectObservableList(getEditingDomain(), INITIAL_RESOURCE, ModelPackage.Literals.CONTAINER__PERSONS);'.

When double clicking on a person, a new view is opened. When saving this person the resource of this EObject is still 'hibernate://?sessionController=SC&query1=FROM Container', so everything in this resource is saved.. I've set containment proxies to true, but it doesn't help. I really appreciate your help and I hope I can figure this out, cause it's really important.

So you're using data binding, not the generated editor.

That's something you programmed yourself...

So your question may be more of what about what does Teneo support?

The best I can suggest is you generate the standard editor and look at
how it behaves. If you've set Containment Proxies to true in your
GenModel and generate the standard editor, the context menu for Person
will have a Control... item on it. You can then use the debugger to see
how ControlAction supports that and from there figure out how you can do
something similar in your hand-written application. I don't know that
Teneo does or doesn't support cross document containment...

I'm not sure if it should work with Teneo. I now have two resources:

- uri='hibernate://?sessionController=SC&query1=FROM Container'
- uri='hibernate://?sessionController=SC&query1=FROM Person WHERE id = 2'

When saving the second one, everything in the first one is also saved. This should be the right approach though in my opinion.

Me neither. You are using Teneo though?

Are you calling Resource.save on just one resource?

I think so, but I really know little about Hibernate or Teneo, so if
your questions are specifically about that, best you use [Teneo] in the
title so Martin will notice your question. I believe he's traveling
today, so maybe not as quick to answer as usual.

Now I noticed :-), checking your last question. Hibernate will cascade the save action to other resources as well, there
is nothing to do about it. Hibernate needs to save also the references (often, if they have changed or are new) and
these references can be in objects in other resources.

To get back to your original question about opening a new view with a person.Normally only the changed objects are saved
to the database, don't you see this?

True, only changed objects are saved.. but since we make use of databinding, changes are directly put into the object. When doing a save on one object, every changed object in that resource is saved.

I understand about the cascade, but shouldn't every person have a it's own resource? We now have one resource containing all persons, but shouldn't it be one container resource containing a bunch of person resources? Each person having it's own resource? I'm just guessing here..

We are not useing Resources at all in our Teneo and Databinding driven
RCP-Application.

We simply load objects through the hibernate-session (every View has its
own session) provided by teneo and later on call persist on it.

It's a long overdue bloh post from me to explain our Application Design
because we solved many many typical problems people have with using
Teneo in RCP applications.

I would certainly be very interested in such a blog post. We're struggling with our application design for a while now..

I have limited experience with rcp (I work mostly in web app environments), but I would say that you want to put
everything what needs to be saved together in one resource.

Oeps missed the reply from Tom, in general I don't like the resource concept that much for data-driven applications. I
like it much better to work directly with the hibernate session and do queries. Hopefully Tom will publish a blog post
soon...
