Notify associated element [message #987448]

Hi,

I have the following scenario:

+-----------+                 +----------+
| Parent    |1               *| Children |
|           |-----------------|          |
+-----------+                 +----------+
A Parent is associated with several children (Note: NO containment reference)

What I want to do is the following:

When one of the parent's attributes changes, the children shall be notified.

I implemented handleNotificationEvent in parentEditPart:

@Override
 protected void handleNotificationEvent(Notification notification) {
  super.handleNotificationEvent(notification);
  //something has changed, notify my associated Children
  Parent parent = (Parent) this.resolveSemanticElement();
  for (Children c : parent.getChildren()) {
   c.eNotify(notification);
  }		
 }

And I am awaiting the Notification in ChildrenEditPart:

@Override
 protected void handleNotificationEvent(Notification notification) {
  super.handleNotificationEvent(notification);
  system.out.println("something has changed, update myself!!");	
 }

However it does not work, I get:

java.lang.StackOverflowError

Hi Matthias,

I had a similar usecase and I did it the other way arround.

I added the listener to Parent in my ChildEditPart like this:

@Override
protected void addSemanticListeners() {
	addListenerFilter(PARENT_VIEW, this, ((Child) resolveSemanticElement()).getParent);
	super.addSemanticListeners();
}

@Override
protected void removeSemanticListeners() {
	removeListenerFilter(PARENT_VIEW);
	super.removeSemanticListeners();
	}

Regards,

Andreas
