Hi Matthias,
Hmmm, I don't yet understand, why don't you create and save the diagram and map in one step (so
create both and then save the resource)?
To guess what you want to achieve in the end: do you want to create the map/diagram and then open
the editor without first saving them in the db? So then the save happens when someone selects save
in the diagram.

Hi Matthias,
Okay, how will the user of your software open the editor? Will he/she for example start from a list
of map/diagram combinations and then open the editor? In that case you can take the map and diagram
id from the list and use both id's for the query for the resource which will then result in one
map/diagram combination in the query. Btw, the query you showed below will load more diagram/map
instances in the resource but probably gmf will only use the first one.
Another thing you can try is only query for the diagram object, afaiu the diagram references the
map. Then depending on the load strategy of the resource the map is loaded automatically in the
resource, see here:
http://www.elver.org/hibernate/hibernateresources.html#Load+ of+referenced+Objects
I hope this helps a bit (I don't know that much about GMF...).

Hi Martin!
Thanks for your answer!
Requirement: The user selecets the Map instance from a list and on
double-click he opens the diagram editor.
Some try-and-error showed me, that it only works when putting a "where"
the Diagram related query part of the query ("&query3=from Diagram where
name = "). But what can/should I query?! The Diagram has no id attribut,
it only has a name attribute. So the only way (AFAIK) to open specific map
diagrams is to build up a reference between the Map and the Diagram that
can be accessed by the where clause in the query: So as described in my
first post I create the Map, save the Map in the resource to get an unique
id of the instance, then create the Diagram and set the name to that
unique Map id. With this approach I can query specific Map and Diagram
combinations ("&query3=from Diagram where name = '[Map-id]'").
Summed up for me it only worked opening specific map diagrams when putting
the where clause to the diagram query part, otherwise he only opens the
first map-diagram. When looking into the opening code of the GMF editor,
than he is only interested in the Diagram object and the search for the
reference "element" object.
So do we have any chance in the current implementation to overcome this
restrictions?!?
Thanks,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
Just to be sure, what you would like to achieve is to be able to not-save the diagram before opening
the editor, is that correct?

Hi Matthias,
No direct answer but just an idea. You can try to find how the editor finds the resource. Probably
the editor uses a resource set from somewhere (the editingdomain). I am not sure if this possible
but if this resource set exists then before opening the editor you can add the resource to the
resourceset without saving the resource first. Or maybe implement your own editorinput type.
I am guessing here, but if you debug through the code then maybe you can find the correct hooks to
do this.
By setting breakpoints in the load resource and resource.getContents methods you can probably find
the location where the resource is actually loaded.

Hi Martin!
I tried to implement the ideas you suggested but with no luck. The main
problem is that the resource, used in the XXXDiagramEditor code (load()
method), does not find the Map object in the resource, it only finds the
diagram object. But this diagram returns always null when invoking
getElement(). This is not the case if I persist the Map and Diagram into
the resource, before the GMF diagram is opened. I also tried using both
load strategies...
I also tried to use a custom EditorInput that passes the Map and its
resource: I added the map's resource to the resourceSet in the code, then
it finds the Map object but later I get a nasty NullPointerException
(something about Commands problems) which seems to me, that the
TransactionalEditingDomain cannot handle this resource. But my Map object
must be contained in a resource that can be handeled by the
AdapterFactoryEditingDomain, otherwise my other domain model instances do
not "see" the Map.
I spent very much hours solving this problem, but with no success. Maybe
this question is also very GMF related. For me this problem is not only
related to opening diagrams without saving them before, but also to open a
map when you have more than one map instances in you application (as
already discussed in the previous posts).
If someone has code snippets/tutorials or whatever I would be very happy
to solve this issues and to get away from my current implementation!
Thanks,
Matthias

Hi Martin!
Thanks for your answer!
Requirement: The user selecets the Map instance from a list and on
double-click he opens the diagram editor.
Some try-and-error showed me, that it only works when putting a "where"
the Diagram related query part of the query ("&query3=from Diagram where
name = "). But what can/should I query?! The Diagram has no id attribut,
it only has a name attribute. So the only way (AFAIK) to open specific map
diagrams is to build up a reference between the Map and the Diagram that
can be accessed by the where clause in the query: So as described in my
first post I create the Map, save the Map in the resource to get an unique
id of the instance, then create the Diagram and set the name to that
unique Map id. With this approach I can query specific Map and Diagram
combinations ("&query3=from Diagram where name = '[Map-id]'").
Summed up for me it only worked opening specific map diagrams when putting
the where clause to the diagram query part, otherwise he only opens the
first map-diagram. When looking into the opening code of the GMF editor,
than he is only interested in the Diagram object and the search for the
reference "element" object.
So do we have any chance in the current implementation to overcome this
restrictions?!?
Thanks,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
No direct answer but just an idea. You can try to find how the editor finds the resource. Probably
the editor uses a resource set from somewhere (the editingdomain). I am not sure if this possible
but if this resource set exists then before opening the editor you can add the resource to the
resourceset without saving the resource first. Or maybe implement your own editorinput type.
I am guessing here, but if you debug through the code then maybe you can find the correct hooks to
do this.
By setting breakpoints in the load resource and resource.getContents methods you can probably find
the location where the resource is actually loaded.

Hi Martin!
I tried to implement the ideas you suggested but with no luck. The main
problem is that the resource, used in the XXXDiagramEditor code (load()
method), does not find the Map object in the resource, it only finds the
diagram object. But this diagram returns always null when invoking
getElement(). This is not the case if I persist the Map and Diagram into
the resource, before the GMF diagram is opened. I also tried using both
load strategies...
I also tried to use a custom EditorInput that passes the Map and its
resource: I added the map's resource to the resourceSet in the code, then
it finds the Map object but later I get a nasty NullPointerException
(something about Commands problems) which seems to me, that the
TransactionalEditingDomain cannot handle this resource. But my Map object
must be contained in a resource that can be handeled by the
AdapterFactoryEditingDomain, otherwise my other domain model instances do
not "see" the Map.
I spent very much hours solving this problem, but with no success. Maybe
this question is also very GMF related. For me this problem is not only
related to opening diagrams without saving them before, but also to open a
map when you have more than one map instances in you application (as
already discussed in the previous posts).
If someone has code snippets/tutorials or whatever I would be very happy
to solve this issues and to get away from my current implementation!
Thanks,
Matthias

MT>> I think I lost track... some questions:
- which url did you use to open this resource? Or how did it get into the editor?
- How did you put the map in the diagram (what happens when you do diagram.setElement(..))?
