XWT loaded event lookup problem [message #843853] Fri, 13 April 2012 12:36 Go to next message

I tried to setup a loaded event handler on a CLR class for a Shell widget as follows:
<Shell xmlns="www.eclipse.org/xwt/presentation" xmlns:x="www.eclipse.org/xwt"
	x:Class="br.rar.dups.Application" text="XWT Application" xmlns:p1="clr-namespace:br.rar.dups"
	loaded="onLoad">

If I specify the onLoad method as follows:
	public void onLoad(Application clr, Event event) {
		StackLayout layout =(StackLayout) XWT.findElementByName(clr, "stack");
	}

ResourceLoader updateEvent complains about not finding onLoad method...
in turn if I specify it as follows:
	public void onLoad(Shell widget, Event event) {
		StackLayout layout =(StackLayout) XWT.findElementByName(widget, "stack");
	}

updateEvent method finds the onLoad method but LoadingData inner class fails to execute the method on its end method since it tries to invoke the found method with the Application CLR class as parameter... resulting in an IllegalArgumentException with an almost blank catching code.

If you provide an x:Class, the executing event code is an instance of that class:
	public void onLoad(Event event) {
                Application clr = this;
		StackLayout layout =(StackLayout) XWT.findElementByName(clr, "stack");
	}

I know and I've been able to do a similar workaround but either both ways I've tried should work or should not throw an exception... it seems to me like the code in question is buggy...

As you know: open source software is driven by those who need it and extend it Smile

For sure I know that's the open source spirit, by the way, where is the source code hosted? I found a CVS repo but I got the impression that it wasn't the one in use...
I tried to figure out how to solve this issue but XWT code isn't that simple... Surprised

AFAIK, all/many eclipse projects will migrate to git. I.e. you will find the xwt git repository at http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.e4.xwt.git/

Scroll to the bottom to see the clone url...

And yes, the xwt code will not win any code beauty contest, but, at least, it works Smile

BTW, be aware of bug report https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=373668

Working is the main requirement... Very Happy
As you may have already noticed I did try to solve that issue myself... is there any documentation regarding XWT? Any diagram? If not, could you please point how to debug an eclipse plugin? Should I setup plugin source under another eclipse then start the one to be debugged with remote debugging or is there any other trick? Cause I'll try to solve two bugs in one shot... have you seen one I reported onto WB forum?
And Erdal, could you please have a look at one post I've left on the forum regarding XWT and RAP?

regards,
Rafael

When you said be aware of the bug report did you meant to be aware that the project might be somehow dead? Cause that's the impression I had from this bug report... :S

No, it will probably leave the e4 space Smile
