Changing the Activity name through a listener [message #10798] Wed, 15 April 2009 21:53 Go to next message

Hi,
I am using the plugin as part of my thesis, and so far it has been very
useful. I have created a custom annotation for the activities that
associates the Task to a WSDL Operation. This is done populating a
combobox.

I would like it so that when the user changes the selection in the
combobox, the actual name of the activity also changes from the default
"Task" to the name of the Operation. Is there a listener that I can use to
achieve this functionality?

I also want to programmatically retrieve the generated XML file so that I
can parse it while the program is running. Is there an easy way to do this?


Thanks,

Lia.

You can listen to model changes using EMF adapters. An EContentAdapter
placed on the BpmnDiagram object will listen to all the changes
occurring in there for example.

You can load the resource through a ResourceSet. This is documented in EMF.

Thanks Antoine for the reply.

Can you please give me a quick overview of what I need to do to place an
EContentActivity on the BPMNDiagram object?


Thanks.

You mean an EContentAdapter. You can google for it, EMF has plenty of
doc around it.

Hi Antoine,

Thanks for all your help, it was really useful.

I have one problem hovewer. I have put two Tasks in the diagram pool (Task
1 and Task 2). When I change the annotation of Task 1 it's ok.
When I change the annotation of Task 1 and then click on Task 2
immediately, the annotation of Task 1 changes to that of Task 2.

If however, I change the annotation on Task 1, then click on the pool, and
THEN click on Task 2, this does not happen.

I don't know whether I explained myself in a clear manner, but would
appreciate if you can point me in the right direction.


Thanks,
Lia

Not sure what's happening but it sure looks like a bug in your code.

I just followed the same steps as in this tutorial:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/STP/BPMN_Component/STP_BPMN_Presenta tion_Hands_on_tutorial#Adding_a_property_tab_to_create_your_ annotation

I added "activity" as a global variable. It is still doing the same thing,
so I don't know what is happening.

Lia,

it's because you change the selection: the activity changes and the
command applies to the wrong element.

I can't help you with your code ; samples are here to help you.

Thanks,


Antoine
