Hi all –
Not quite sure this is
the right list to direct these questions to, or if I should have been
able to find the answers elsewhere. If so, please tell me how.
I’ve been using Eclipse
for several months, porting a tool to do data mappings and
transformations onto Eclipse/EMF. But I still haven’t found the answers
to these questions:
1.
I use an EMF-generated
tree editor for the mappings, with validation; so when I click on a
validation error in the Problems view, it opens up the tree on the
node. I also have other table views with rows for selected nodes. When
I click on a row in such a view, how can I make it open up the editor
tree on the right node – just like the Problems view does?
If you look at how the outline view works in the generated editor,
you'll see that selections there are reflected in the "Selection" tree
view of the editor itself. So you can look at how that works...
2.
I am sending EMF model
instances to a web service using SOAP. Clearly I can pull the XML form
out of the SOAP at the service end. But I want to view it there as an
EMF Resource, get at the EObjects, etc. Currently the only way I can do
this is to write the XML to a temporary file, then read the file as an
EMF resource. There must be a better way….
Sure. There are quite a few load methods. An obvious one is the load
taking a stream which would let you load from a byte array input
stream. XMLResource has even more load methods, including ones to
load from DOM. If you have a string rather than bytes, you can bypass
the the encoding decoding by using an InputSource...
Sorry if these seem basic
– but there is so much stuff in Eclipse/EMF that you sometimes can’t
find the easy way to do things, even though it is there somewhere.
You'll want to buy the EMF book. :-P Searching the newsgroup is very
useful too...
Thanks
