Connection happens only for first linking mapping [message #220196]

Hello All.

This is the same problem as my previous post of link mapping

I have some figures of different types and I like to connect them with one
ConnectionLine. I have certain sources and targets for each figure in
link element,

And I create pairs of LinkMappings, like this:
linkMapping{
source:link.sourceNode1;
target:link.targetNode2;
}
linkMapping{
source:link.sourceNode1;
target:link.targetNode3;
}
linkMapping{
source:link.sourceNode2;
target:link.targetNode3;

}
linkMapping{
source:link.sourceNode2;
target:link.targetNode1;
}
and on.

For each mapping I specify the same tool creation and diagram link.
When I try to create link all works good for first link mapping, but for
others only record in model file is created but graphical line isn't drawn.

I used the same model files of previous version 1.0
now i have gmf version 2.13

Its gives the same execution exception

Hello govind,

Looks like all LinkMappings has same DomainMetaElement associated with them,
right?
In this case you can try adding some constraints helping GMF to recognize
using domain model element (link) wich particular LinkMapping should be applicable
to it.

Hello Alex,

Can u tell me what constraint i have to add ?? whether it has to be to
NodeMapping or LinkMapping. And this constraint has to be added to all the
link mapping.

One Strange this is that i dont know why it should work in older version!!

Hi Alex.,

I added a constraint to all the link mapping self.oclIsTypeOf(AND) where
AND is link between the figures.
i am bit poor in OCl

And i use the same Link tool for all the links.

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

I found a change in getEdgeViewClass(IAdaptable semanticAdapter,
View containerView, String semanticHint) method of xxxViewProvider
where

semanticHint conditions are checked which are not in previous version.

Previous version:-

EClass semanticType = getSemanticEClass(semanticAdapter);
if (semanticType == null) {
return null;
}
EObject semanticElement = getSemanticElement(semanticAdapter);
int linkVID = XXXVisualIDRegistry
.getLinkWithClassVisualID(semanticElement, semanticType);

New Version:-

EObject domainElement = getSemanticElement(semanticAdapter);
if (domainElement != null
&& visualID != SignaturebuilderVisualIDRegistry
.getLinkWithClassVisualID(domainElement)) {

System.out.println("It come here for next links :::;");
return null; // visual id for link EClass should match visual id from
element type
}
return getEdgeViewClass(visualID);

Regards
Govind
