[stp-dev] Capability to edit policies of multiple entities at once
|
Hi all,
As discussed yesterday on the conference call re Policy Editors, this
mail outlines the functionality of the MultiXMLProvider (part of the XEF
policy editor) which was designed for the case where possibly multiple
entities in a UI are selected and the policies of all of these need to
be edited in one edit session.
The MultiXMLProvider takes the intersection of all the policy assertions
in all the XMLProviders (i.e. things being edited) and passes them to
the XEF policy editor. When the policy editor saves, the changes are
merged back into the respective entities.
For more details on how this works, take a look at:
svn+ssh://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/stp/trunk/org.eclipse.stp.servicecreation/org.eclipse.stp.xef.test/src/org/eclipse/stp/xef/MultiXMLProviderTest.java
Esp. testThreeProviders1(), testThreeProviders1() and
testThreeProviders1() in this class show how this behaves when applied
to 3 entities which have some shared elements but also some non-shared ones.
Cheers,
David
