Refreshing EMF resources through a byte[] [message #1220709]

Hello everybody,

I'm having a problem refreshing/overwriting an emf resource. I have a graphiti editor for editing an emf model. The emf resources are saved to a server, that doesn't know about emf or anything, so I upload the resource as byte[] and I download the resource as byte[].

The upload case is no problem. Works as expected. The download case not so much. I try so set the new contents via

resource.delete(null);
resourceSet.createResource(URI.createPlatformResourceURI(modelFile.getLocationURI().toString(), true), <id-of-the-content-type>);
Files.write(Paths.get(modelFile.getLocationURI()), serverContent);

That also seems to work (the contents are written to the file), but the graphiti editor then tells me, that I have a file conflict. Is there a better way to overwrite the contents via byte[] or to suppress that file conflict dialog?

Any hints are welcome Smile

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Andreas

Hi

You don't say which Files you use, but I would recommend
IFile.setContent so that Eclipse knows what's happening.
