avoid assertWriting check? [message #105944] Fri, 04 January 2008 07:51 Go to next message

opening the editor.
Cannot modify resource set without a write transaction"

Is it possible to disable the assertWriting check temporarily?

Claus,

The Transaction stuff has graduated from incubation and is part of EMF
proper now, so best to ask about it on the EMF newsgroup. If you have
something that modifies the state, that's potentially going to
invalidate the assumptions of the command on the stack which generally
assumes that *nothing *changes except via commands so all objects are in
the expected state when an attempted is made to undo a previous change.
Are you sure you shouldn't be using something like a RecordingCommand
and specializing the doExecute method in order to perform your operation
while a change recorder monitors the activity so that the changes will
in fact be undoable and redoable despite the fact that you didn't use
commands to effect the changes? Because of the previous point about
assuming the state is never modified, I think minimally you'd have to
execute your operation as a command that's not undoable...

Hi, Ed, Claus,

An easy way to simply disable undo is to use the Transaction.OPTION_NO_UNDO
option in your command execution. This is useful if the volume of change
would be very large, and consume a lot of memory in the undo history in a
ChangeDescription that your application does not intend to use for
undo/redo.

Of course, you would also want to ensure that the command you are executing
reports that it is not undoable in this case. That effectively snuffs the
command-stack (so it should probably be flushed, then, too).

HTH,

Christian
