problem with managing layout model [message #84525]

I do not know how to properly manage my layout model.
In my emf tree i can add elements and they correctly appear on diagram.

In order to delete layout model when I delete model I changed method:

protected boolean shouldDeleteView(View view) {
//return view.isSetElement() ; && view.getElement() != null && //
view.getElement().eIsProxy();
if (view.isSetElement()) {
return view.getElement() != null ?
view.getElement().eIsProxy() || view.getElement().eContainer() ==
null : true;
}
return false;
}

And now delete from emf tree works.
But when I move a subelement(for example: ship small item) from one ship
to another, on emf tree the item is moved, but on diagram it is
duplicated. If next step will be the 'undo in emf tree' both models are
changed correctly (on diagram I have again one small item) !!!

Because in my emf tree i can also see my layout model, so I noticed,
that in the operations i described above thet Node elements in
taipan_diagram file are not alwys updated after my operation on taipan
model.

I suppose that probably I should notify some listeners - but which one,
and where I can find it?

many thanx for help

I solved my problem with moving elements in emf tree.

I changed this method in ShipLargeCargoCanonicalEditPolicy and
ShipSmallCargoCanonicalEditPolicy

/**
* @generated NOT
*/
protected boolean shouldDeleteView(View view) {
boolean result = view.isSetElement() && view.getElement() != null
&& view.getElement().eIsProxy();
result |= getHost().getModel() != view;
return result = true;
}

Now it works.

I am only interested, why when I was moving elements on diagram the old
view was removed automatically (or maybe it was moved to another parent
and there was no create&remove operation?) and while moving using emf -
I had to do it by hand?

Maybe this method is not the best place to solve such a problem?
