Hello,

I'm new to e4, but I'm developing an application that creates and visualized multiple network connections. For each connection I want to create a new part. I had problems trying to pass the connection information from a handler showing a selection dialog to the part, that should visualize the connection. Now I pass the information throught the persisted state of the part. Is that the correct (e4) way to do this?

I create my parts in a handler like this:

MPart part = partService.createPart("de.walmar.project.partdescriptor.ConnectionPart");
part.setLabel(dialogData.getAddress());
part.getPersistedState().put("connection.address", address);
      
List<MPartStack> stacks = modelService.findElements(application, "de.walmar.project.partstack.econnections", MPartStack.class, null);
if (stacks.size() > 0) {
  stacks.get(0).getChildren().add(part);
}
partService.showPart(part, PartState.ACTIVATE);


In my ConnectionPart I inject the MPart and read from the persisted state to find the address:

@PostConstruct
public void createComposite(Composite parent, MPart part) {
    System.out.println("Create ConnectionPart " + part.getPersistedState().get("connection.address"));
  }


Thanks

Hi Felix,
