Dynamically creating EObjects in the linker [message #803468]

There a few posts on this board hinting about how to dynamically create/destroy EObjects in a resource to satisfy linking. In particular: Hook for creation and destruction of EObject, create object if no ref found, and Xtext/EMF cross-references to virtual/phantom resources.

However there is no actual code posted and I am getting problems trying to get this working. So far I have this:

public class GFLinkingService extends DefaultLinkingService {
  @Override
  public List<EObject> getLinkedObjects(EObject context, EReference ref, INode node) throws IllegalNodeException {
    List<EObject> list = super.getLinkedObjects(context, ref, node);
    if (list.isEmpty()) {
        Ident newIdent = GFFactoryImpl.eINSTANCE.createIdent();
        newIdent.setS(node.getText());
        context.eResource().getContents().add(newIdent);
        list = Collections.singletonList((EObject)newIdent);
    }
    return list;
  }
}

However when I edit the file I keep getting this exception about concurrent modification:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2012-02-21 13:09:43.516

How can I solve this?

Also, I have overridden beforeModelLinked() so that I can clear these dynamic EObjects, but what should the code inside actually look like?

public class GFLinker extends LazyLinker {
  @Override
  protected void beforeModelLinked(EObject model, IDiagnosticConsumer diagnosticsConsumer) {
    super.beforeModelLinked(model, diagnosticsConsumer);
    // what now?
  }
}

Any help in the right direction would really be appreiciated!

Ok, so the name "ConcurrentModificationException" was a bit of a giveaway. Instead of trying to create the new EObjects in the same resource, I am creating a new dummy resource for this purpose:

//context.eResource().getContents().add(newIdent);
URI uri = URI.createURI("dummy.projectionsatisfier");
Resource r = context.eResource().getResourceSet().createResource(uri);
r.getContents().add(newIdent);

This more or less works, so my question is: how good/bad is the code above? Is it missing anything?

Also, what should I put in the beforeModelLinked() method? Shall I just completely delete the resource with URI "dummy.projectionsatisfier"?

Hi John

don't add the newly created objects to the list that was obtained from
super.getLinkedObjects but create a new list with one item, e.g.
Collections.singletonList(newInstance).

You'll have to remove those potentially demand-created objects from the
resource in #beforeModelLinked.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian, yes I finally realised that that was the problem.. duh!

My beforeModelLinked method now looks like the following, as far as I can tell it seems to be doing the job:

@Override
protected void beforeModelLinked(EObject model, IDiagnosticConsumer diagnosticsConsumer) {
  super.beforeModelLinked(model, diagnosticsConsumer);
  Resource res = model.eResource().getResourceSet().getResource(URI.createURI("dummy.projectionsatisfier"), false);
  if (res != null) {
    try {
      res.delete(null);
    } catch (IOException e) {

    }
  }
}

Hope this helps anyone else who is trying to get their heads round this.
