Hello,
I am extending the generated EMF editor for my model . THe new editor have the original SelectionViewerPane and the new one FavoirateViewerPane.
The code of the two Pane and their attached Treeviewer is as follow:
adapterFactory = new ComposedAdapterFactory(ComposedAdapterFactory.Descriptor.Registry.INSTANCE);
adapterFactory2 = new ComposedAdapterFactory(ComposedAdapterFactory.Descriptor.Registry.INSTANCE);
editingDomain = new AdapterFactoryEditingDomain(adapterFactory, commandStack1, new HashMap<Resource, Boolean>());
editingDomain2 = new AdapterFactoryEditingDomain(adapterFactory, commandStack2, new HashMap<Resource, Boolean>());
selectionViewer = (TreeViewer)viewerPane.getViewer();
selectionViewer.setContentProvider(new AdapterFactoryContentProvider(adapterFactory));
selectionViewer.setLabelProvider(new AdapterFactoryLabelProvider(adapterFactory));
selectionViewer.setInput(editingDomain.getResourceSet());
FavoirateViewer = (TreeViewer) FavoirateViewerPan.getViewer();
//selectionMemberViewer.setContentProvider(new AdapterFactoryContentProvider(adapterFactory2));
FavoirateViewer.setContentProvider(new AdapterFactoryContentProvider(adapterFactory2));
FavoirateViewer.setLabelProvider(new AdapterFactoryLabelProvider(adapterFactory2));
FavoirateViewer.setInput(editingDomain2.getResourceSet());
The two viewer Pane are in the same tab and the referenceSet of SelectionViewerPane is pointing to model1.family . while the other viewePane pointing to model2.family
My problems are :
• I want the modeler to be able to drag specific elements from model 1 and add it to the model2 , through the two EditorDomain (editingDomain , editingDomain2) . I was able to get this working , but the drag is happening at the parent level ; That is the parent should exist in the model2 so I can drag the child .
• Q1: The question is how I can override the EMF drag method,,, so that if the modeler drag the child, its associated parents will be added automatically
• Q2: How can I add a new elements to editingDomain : I am trying to use the method but not really sure which parameter to pass:
****AddCommand cmd = new AddCommand(editingDomain2, ?, ? )
I am new to EMF , and I really appreciate any support .
Regards
Salwa

There are two editing domains?

Command creation starts with
org.eclipse.emf.edit.domain.AdapterFactoryEditingDomain.createCommand(Class<?
extends Command>, CommandParameter) so that would be somewhere you could
detect it's a drag and drop command being created. Try setting a
breakpoint there to see how it's handled and how you could automatically
expand the collection of objects in the command parameter to include the
parents.

If you drag and drop the parents and the children that will hopefully be
sufficient.
I'm not really sure why you have two editing domains though. Is the
second viewer not like the outline viewer but rather a viewer that
maintains state beyond the lifetime of any one editor?

Hello Ed ,
I tried what u suggested for editting the collection when drag command is issued , but unfortunately it doesnt work, Here is my code:
if (commandClass.getName().contains("DragAndDropCommand"))
{
Collection collection = new ArrayList();
if (commandParameter.getEOwner()!=null){
EObject parent = (EObject)commandParameter.getEOwner().eContainer();
while(parent!=null){
collection.add(parent);
parent = parent.eContainer();
}
commandParameter.getCollection().addAll(collection);
}
} Command command = super.createCommand(commandClass,commandParameter);
With This I have been able to add the parent elements to the commandParameter collection, but when i reach to the drop list "Target" , it doesn't accept it .
"
I'm not really sure why you have two editing domains though. Is the second viewer not like the outline viewer but rather a viewer that maintains state beyond the lifetime of any one editor?"
No Actually the second viewer , is representing another model elements , that why i created separate editing domain for it. basically the other viewer will show the subset elements of the one defined in viewer1 .. I am trying to give the modeler the ability to use the first viewer to model his whole system "it has some optional and mandatory elements". and once he is done , he can select some elements from viewer1 and add it to the viewer 2.
Since the drag wont work as I really want, I tried to create the elements in my second viewer programmaticly. like this :
editingDomain2.getCommandStack().execute(AddCommand.create(editingDomain2, EO, MymodelviewPackage.Literals.FEAT_MODEL_VIEW, e));
That works fine ,, But one thing about it is that I want to read from editingDomain1 and add it to editingDomain2 ... But it seem I need to handle parent and child by my self. and how actually I can get the children of a selected elements in editingDomain1
Thankx
Salwa

I see.

An editing domain contains a resource set that can contain any number of
resources from any number of models.

For a single editor you should have a single editing domain. For
example, the outline view and properties view share the editing domain
of the editor itself, not have their own.

So go back an revisit this need for two editing domains. And if you
have more questions you need to show me exactly the design of your
model so that I know who the parent and children are related and I know
where the parent and child objects are contained.

More than one editing domain seems problematic to me.

Again, one editor should have a single editing domain...

If you have multiple editing domains I'm not sure you'll ever get it
working just right. When the editor saves, it saves the resources in
the editing domain, but you have two, so how does save deal with that?

GMF supports cross editing domain copying...

It sounds like you're copying objects from one editing domain to
another, so yes of course you will have copies. The question keeps
coming back to why you have two editing domains...

None of that requires two editing domains...

If you insist on a design where you have two editing domains that have
clones of the same objects you'll have to live with that. But I still
fail to see the need for it.
