Edition services

Modelio v4.0

The edition service provide simple text editors that can be opened to display the contents of a file:

• the edition service interface is IEditionService.

• the IEditionService instance can be obtained from the IModelioServices via the module IModuleContext.

Open a text editor

A text editor can be opened on a (model element, file) association pair by using the openEditor() method service of IEditionService. Being coupled to a model element, the editor will automatically close if the element is deleted.

Here is an example how to invoke a text editor:

 1import org.modelio.api.editor.EditorType;
2import org.modelio.api.editor.IEditionService;
3import org.modelio.api.editor.IMDATextEditor;
4import org.modelio.api.modelio.Modelio;
5import org.modelio.metamodel.uml.infrastructure.ModelElement;
6
7IModuleContext ctx = MyModule.getInstance().getModuleContext();
8IEditionService editionService = ctx.getModelioServices().getEditionService();
9Element toEdit = ...;
10File fileToEdit = ...;
11EditorType editorType = EditorType.TXTEditor;
12
13IMDATextEditor editor = editionService.openEditor(toEdit, fileToEdit, editorType, false);

React to save and close of an editor

A listener can be put on the editor to be notified when the editor is saved or closed. Then the file content can be retrieved, parsed or reversed.

 1IMDATextEditor editor = ... ;
2
3editor.setListener( new IMDAEditorListener() {
4 public void documentSaved(IMDATextEditor anEditor) {
5 // retrieve file content in the model here
6 File savedFile = editor.getFile();
7 ...
8 }
9
10 public void editorClosed(IMDATextEditor anEditor) {
11 }
12});
