Update TableViewer with event from a Job [message #892398]

Hi,

I have a TableViewer containing a list of jobs:

Name State

JobA Not started

When I select a Job it will be started and executed with something like:

final Job job = new Job("JobA") {
protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
try {
while(hasMoreWorkToDo()) {
// do some work
// ...
if (monitor.isCanceled()) return Status.CANCEL_STATUS;
}
return Status.OK_STATUS;
} finally {
schedule(60000); // start again in an hour
}
}
};

Then I have added a job change listener so that I know if job was executed successfully ( no interrupt). If it was successful I want to update the "State"
of the Job.

job.addJobChangeListener(new JobChangeAdapter() {
public void done(IJobChangeEvent event) {
if (event.getResult().isOK())
postMessage("Job completed successfully");
//Send event possible to update data used in table viewer.
else
postError("Job did not complete successfully");
}
});

I have a Job object for each row in the table. Name is unique.

Is there any specific support for eclipse for handling events or should I use the
regular java java.util.EventObject and add my own listener on the Job object?

br,

//mike

Hi,

you can implement all methods from the IJobChangeListener and call tableViewer.update(event.getJob(), null).
Your label provider then ask the Job for its state and update the label in the table accordingly.

Thanks for reply Jan.

So I need to implement IJobChangeListener for my Viewer class to receive calls when Jobs change state?

You already did that doesn't you? I would just implement all other methods and call tableViewer.update(event.getJob(), null) from them, including the done().
