| Re: [sapphire-dev] overriding isdirty for changes to custom list property |
Unless you can re-work your logic to apply changes to the editor buffer in real-time, you will be stuck overriding the editor’s isDirty() method and the save logic. Sapphire model itself has no concept of dirty state as the changes are always written through to the underlying resource. If management of dirty state is necessary (like in an editor environment), it is up to the resource to manage it. When the model sits on top of XML Editor, model changes are written through to editor’s DOM, which then updates editor’s text buffer and sets the dirty flag. - Konstantin From: sapphire-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sapphire-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Greg Amerson I have a case where I am creating a CustomXmlListBinding for a ListProperty but the elements in the list property don't ever get serialized to the underlying XML file, they are just "in memory" so that I can hook up property editors in the UI and let the user change them. Then I want to perform actions based on the model changes to that ListProperty when editor is saved. However, the problem is that when the user makes a change in the UI from the masterDetails page, that ends up changing a list property in my CustomXmlListBinding, I don't know the best way to mark the editor as dirty. I know that I could add a property listener from my editor subclass for that specific property and then fire an DIRTY event and then override the isDirty() method. But I was wondering if this is a way to handle this so I don't have to override the top-level isDirty() method on the SapphireEditorForXML. -- Greg Amerson Liferay, Inc. |
