Interface IModelMappingProvider

All Superinterfaces:

org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.core.service.IProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractModelMappingProvider, ModelMappingService

public interface IModelMappingProvider
extends org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.core.service.IProvider

Interface to be implemented by all platform specific adapters, that provide features to adapt any element from a given Platform specific model to an EObject of a given type 'EClass'

To expose the implementation from ModelMappingService The implementor of this interface should register the implementation with com.ibm.xtools.mmi.core.ModelMappingProviders extension point.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject	adapt(org.eclipse.emf.transaction.TransactionalEditingDomain domain, java.lang.Object source, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass targetKind) Adapts object to an EObject of a given metatype targetKind.
boolean	canAdapt(org.eclipse.emf.transaction.TransactionalEditingDomain domain, java.lang.Object source, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass targetKind) Testing mechanism to determine whether this provider can adapt a given object to an EObject of a particular meta-type targetKind.
boolean	canResolve(org.eclipse.emf.transaction.TransactionalEditingDomain domain, StructuredReference vr, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass) Testing mechanism to determine whether this provider can resolve a given vr to an EObject, based on information encoded in StructuredReference.
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject	resolve(org.eclipse.emf.transaction.TransactionalEditingDomain domain, StructuredReference vr, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass) Resolves vr to a proper EObject, based on information encoded in StructuredReference

Method Detail

adapt

org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject adapt(org.eclipse.emf.transaction.TransactionalEditingDomain domain,
                                    java.lang.Object source,
                                    org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass targetKind)

Adapts object to an EObject of a given metatype targetKind.

Parameters:

domain - Editing domain Context

source - Object to be adapted.

targetKind - Meta-class of the EObject to be created.

Returns:

Adapted ITarget

canAdapt

boolean canAdapt(org.eclipse.emf.transaction.TransactionalEditingDomain domain,
                 java.lang.Object source,
                 org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass targetKind)

Testing mechanism to determine whether this provider can adapt a given object to an EObject of a particular meta-type targetKind.

Parameters:

domain - Editing domain Context

source - Object to be adapted.

targetKind - Kind of EObject to be created.

Returns:

true if this provider can adapt, else false.

resolve

org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject resolve(org.eclipse.emf.transaction.TransactionalEditingDomain domain,
                                      StructuredReference vr,
                                      org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass)

Resolves vr to a proper EObject, based on information encoded in StructuredReference

Parameters:

domain - Editing domain Context

vr - StructuredReference to resolve.

eClass - EClass of the StructuredReference.

Returns:

ITarget as encoded in StructuredReference

canResolve

boolean canResolve(org.eclipse.emf.transaction.TransactionalEditingDomain domain,
                   StructuredReference vr,
                   org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass)

Testing mechanism to determine whether this provider can resolve a given vr to an EObject, based on information encoded in StructuredReference.

Parameters:

domain - Editing domain Context

vr - StructuredReference to be resolved to EObject.

eClass - EClass of the StructuredReference.

Returns:

true if this provider can resolve, else false.
