Hi Christian,
I'm just evaluating the new Transaction API for use in my product.
Here are some questions:
1) Is it necessary that own ResourceSets implement IEditingDomainProvider to be used with TXEditingDomain?
2) Is a concurrent thread allowed to read (only!) the ResourceSet of the TXEditingDomain directly, for example to validate in background?
3) Where is the relation between the physical files in the workspace and their in memory representation, e.g. Resources in the ResourceSet? What shall an editor do when the user hits "Save"?
Cheers

IEditorReference[] editors = page.findEditors(
new FileEditorInput(file),
" org.eclipse.emf.workbench.examples.extlibrary.presentation.E XTLibraryEditorID ", //$NON-NLS-1$
IWorkbenchPage.MATCH_ID | IWorkbenchPage.MATCH_INPUT);
page.closeEditors(editors, false);
MATCH_ID and MATCH_INPUT can't be resolved.

No. The TXEditingDomain.Factory links the resource set to its editing
domain by attaching an Adapter to it; the getEditingDomain(ResourceSet)
method does not require the IEditingDomainProvider interface. However, if
you do implement that interface for some other reason, then you will need
to ensure that it is consistent with what the factory thinks the
association is.

I don't understand your question. A thread may actually read multiple
resource sets in different editing domains, but then you would need to be
wary of deadlocks (perhaps by implementing some kind of domain ordering).
Note that the Transaction API doesn't actually implement concurrency as
such; multiple "concurrent" readers of a resource set must cooperatively
yield read access to others. And write access is exclusive of all readers,
yielding or otherwise.

The WorkspaceSynchronizer class can provider the IResource representing an
EMF Resource. As you have probably seen already (indicated by your other
post), the example editor uses this in determining when it needs to refresh
from disk.

I filed https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=124558
In the context of the generated editor the following bugzilla might also be interesting:

I see. I've had some problems with M4 and switched back to M3.
I'll try newer I-builds...

I see. That is a nicer solution than EMF's own one ;-)

I should have been running the editor before looking at its code!
I very much like your solution that now there is a visual 1:1 representation
of modified files and editor instances.
Your Transaction component is really great work! Thanks for this ;-)

Please don't hesitate to raise any issues that strike you (as I see you are

Eike,
AdapterFactoryEditingDomain has these methods so it's not generally
necessary for a resource set to implement IEditingDomainProvider
directly; it can provide the support using an adapters:
static public EditingDomain getEditingDomainFor(Object object)
{
if (object instanceof IEditingDomainProvider)
{
EditingDomain editingDomain =
((IEditingDomainProvider)object).getEditingDomain();
return editingDomain;
}
else if (object instanceof EObject)
{
EditingDomain editingDomain =
AdapterFactoryEditingDomain.getEditingDomainFor((EObject)obj ect);
return editingDomain;
}
else if (object instanceof FeatureMap.Entry)
{
return getEditingDomainFor(((FeatureMap.Entry)object).getValue());
}
else if (object instanceof IWrapperItemProvider)
{
return
getEditingDomainFor(((IWrapperItemProvider)object).getValue( ));
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
static public EditingDomain getEditingDomainFor(EObject object)
{

if (resource != null)
{
IEditingDomainProvider editingDomainProvider =
(IEditingDomainProvider)EcoreUtil.getExistingAdapter(resourc e,
IEditingDomainProvider.class);
if (editingDomainProvider != null)
{
return editingDomainProvider.getEditingDomain();
}
else
{
ResourceSet resourceSet = resource.getResourceSet();
if (resourceSet instanceof IEditingDomainProvider)
{
EditingDomain editingDomain =
((IEditingDomainProvider)resourceSet).getEditingDomain();
return editingDomain;
}
else if (resourceSet != null)
{
editingDomainProvider =
(IEditingDomainProvider)EcoreUtil.getExistingAdapter(resourc eSet,
IEditingDomainProvider.class);
if (editingDomainProvider != null)
{
return editingDomainProvider.getEditingDomain();
}

I'm just about to analyze your Transaction-related changes to the EXTLibraryEditor.
It would be easier, if you annotated all your changes with @generated NOT (or @ADDED).
Btw. I had to comment out the following in ResourceLoadedListener
IEditorReference[] editors = page.findEditors(
new FileEditorInput(file),
" org.eclipse.emf.workbench.examples.extlibrary.presentation.E XTLibraryEditorID ", //$NON-NLS-1$
IWorkbenchPage.MATCH_ID | IWorkbenchPage.MATCH_INPUT);
page.closeEditors(editors, false);
MATCH_ID and MATCH_INPUT can't be resolved.

I see. That is a nicer solution than EMF's own one ;-)

I should have been running the editor before looking at its code!
I very much like your solution that now there is a visual 1:1 representation
of modified files and editor instances.
Your Transaction component is really great work! Thanks for this ;-)

Thanks for the positive feedback, Eike! That certainly helps to validate
the approach we're taking with this API.
Please don't hesitate to raise any issues that strike you (as I see you are
already doing). I look forward to them.

Yes, Eike,
I followed that newsgroup thread with some interest, but I hadn't had a look
at what you and Steven had contributed. I should do so.

Eike,
AdapterFactoryEditingDomain has these methods so it's not generally
necessary for a resource set to implement IEditingDomainProvider
directly; it can provide the support using an adapters:
static public EditingDomain getEditingDomainFor(Object object)
{
if (object instanceof IEditingDomainProvider)
{
EditingDomain editingDomain =
((IEditingDomainProvider)object).getEditingDomain();
return editingDomain;
}
else if (object instanceof EObject)
{
EditingDomain editingDomain =
AdapterFactoryEditingDomain.getEditingDomainFor((EObject)obj ect);
return editingDomain;
}
else if (object instanceof FeatureMap.Entry)
{
return getEditingDomainFor(((FeatureMap.Entry)object).getValue());
}
else if (object instanceof IWrapperItemProvider)
{
return
getEditingDomainFor(((IWrapperItemProvider)object).getValue( ));
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
static public EditingDomain getEditingDomainFor(EObject object)
{
Resource resource = object.eResource();
if (resource != null)
{
IEditingDomainProvider editingDomainProvider =
(IEditingDomainProvider)EcoreUtil.getExistingAdapter(resourc e,
IEditingDomainProvider.class);
if (editingDomainProvider != null)
{
return editingDomainProvider.getEditingDomain();
}
else
{
ResourceSet resourceSet = resource.getResourceSet();
if (resourceSet instanceof IEditingDomainProvider)
{
EditingDomain editingDomain =
((IEditingDomainProvider)resourceSet).getEditingDomain();
return editingDomain;
}
else if (resourceSet != null)
{
editingDomainProvider =
(IEditingDomainProvider)EcoreUtil.getExistingAdapter(resourc eSet,
IEditingDomainProvider.class);
if (editingDomainProvider != null)
{
return editingDomainProvider.getEditingDomain();
}
}
}
}
return null;
}

No. The TXEditingDomain.Factory links the resource set to its editing

The WorkspaceSynchronizer class can provider the IResource representing
an

EMF Resource. As you have probably seen already (indicated by your
