Eclipse Platform
Release 3.5

org.eclipse.ui.editors.text
Class ForwardingDocumentProvider


java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.ForwardingDocumentProvider
All Implemented Interfaces:
IStorageDocumentProvider, IDocumentProvider, IDocumentProviderExtension, IDocumentProviderExtension2, IDocumentProviderExtension3, IDocumentProviderExtension4, IDocumentProviderExtension5

public class ForwardingDocumentProvider
extends Object
implements IDocumentProvider, IDocumentProviderExtension, IDocumentProviderExtension2, IDocumentProviderExtension3, IDocumentProviderExtension4, IDocumentProviderExtension5, IStorageDocumentProvider

A forwarding document provider is a document provider that forwards all requests to a known parent document provider. The only functional addition of the forwarding document provider is that it ensures that all documents provided to clients are appropriately set up.

This document provider should be used by editors that directly or indirectly work with a TextFileDocumentProvider and do not accept that they may be provided with documents which do not contain the partitioning they work on. This can happen either because of a plug-in configuration error or when a user associates a file name or file extension with an existing text editor and the file buffer infrastructure does not recognize that file name or file extension to be of the same file type the editor works on. Thus, the document provided for the files with that name or extension may not be set up in the way the editor expects it. The ForwardingDocumentProvider compensates for that situation.

Editors that directly work with a TextFileDocumentProvider can now use a ForwardingDocumentProvider instead and configure a TextFileDocumentProvider as its parent provider. Editors that indirectly work with a TextFileDocumentProvider, e.g. never set a document provider explicitly, should explicitly set a ForwardingDocumentProvider as document provider. In this case the forwarding document provider may not be shared between editors.

Since:
3.0

aboutToChange

public void aboutToChange(
Object element)
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProvider
Informs this document provider about upcoming changes of the given element. The changes might cause change notifications specific for the type of the given element. If this provider manages a document for the given element, the document provider must not change the document because of the notifications received after aboutToChange has been and before changed is called. In this case, it is assumed that the document is already up to date, e.g., a save operation is a typical case.

The concrete nature of the change notification depends on the concrete type of the given element. If the element is, e.g., an IResource the notification is a resource delta.

Specified by:
aboutToChange in interface IDocumentProvider
Parameters:
element - the element, or null

changed

public void changed(
Object element)
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProvider
Informs this document provider that the given element has been changed. All notifications have been sent out. If this provider manages a document for the given element, the document provider must from now on change the document on the receipt of change notifications. The concrete nature of the change notification depends on the concrete type of the given element. If the element is, e.g., an IResource the notification is a resource delta.

Specified by:
changed in interface IDocumentProvider
Parameters:
element - the element, or null

addElementStateListener

public void addElementStateListener(
IElementStateListener listener)
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProvider
Adds the given element state listener to this document provider. Has no effect if an identical listener is already registered.

Specified by:
addElementStateListener in interface IDocumentProvider
Parameters:
listener - the listener

removeElementStateListener

public void removeElementStateListener(
IElementStateListener listener)
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProvider
Removes the given element state listener from this document provider. Has no affect if an identical listener is not registered.

Specified by:
removeElementStateListener in interface IDocumentProvider
Parameters:
listener - the listener

isReadOnly

public boolean isReadOnly(
Object element)
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProviderExtension
Returns whether the document provider thinks that the given element is read-only. If this method returns true, saveDocument could fail. This method does not say anything about the document constructed from the given element. If the given element is not connected to this document provider, the return value is undefined. Document providers are allowed to use a cache to answer this question, i.e. there can be a difference between the "real" state of the element and the return value.

Specified by:
isReadOnly in interface IDocumentProviderExtension
Parameters:
element - the element
Returns:
true if the given element is read-only, false otherwise

isModifiable

public boolean isModifiable(
Object element)
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProviderExtension
Returns whether the document provider thinks that the given element can persistently be modified. This is orthogonal to isReadOnly as read-only elements may be modifiable and writable elements may not be modifiable. If the given element is not connected to this document provider, the result is undefined. Document providers are allowed to use a cache to answer this question, i.e. there can be a difference between the "real" state of the element and the return value.

Specified by:
isModifiable in interface IDocumentProviderExtension
Parameters:
element - the element
Returns:
true if the given element is modifiable, false otherwise

validateState

public void validateState(
Object element,
                          
Object computationContext)
                   throws 
CoreException
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProviderExtension
Validates the state of the given element. This method may change the "real" state of the element. If using, it also updates the internal caches, so that this method may also change the results returned by isReadOnly and isModifiable. If the given element is not connected to this document provider, the effect is undefined.

Specified by:
validateState in interface IDocumentProviderExtension
Parameters:
element - the element
computationContext - the context in which the computation is performed, e.g., a SWT shell
Throws:
CoreException - if validating fails

isStateValidated

public boolean isStateValidated(
Object element)
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProviderExtension
Returns whether the state of the given element has been validated.

Specified by:
isStateValidated in interface IDocumentProviderExtension
Parameters:
element - the element
Returns:
true if the state has been validated

updateStateCache

public void updateStateCache(
Object element)
                      throws 
CoreException
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProviderExtension
Updates the state cache for the given element. This method may change the result returned by isReadOnly and isModifiable. If the given element is not connected to this document provider, the effect is undefined.

Specified by:
updateStateCache in interface IDocumentProviderExtension
Parameters:
element - the element
Throws:
CoreException - if validating fails

setCanSaveDocument

public void setCanSaveDocument(
Object element)
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProviderExtension
Marks the document managed for the given element as savable. I.e. canBeSaved(element) will return true afterwards.

Specified by:
setCanSaveDocument in interface IDocumentProviderExtension
Parameters:
element - the element

getStatus

public 
IStatus getStatus(
Object element)
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProviderExtension
Returns the status of the given element.

Specified by:
getStatus in interface IDocumentProviderExtension
Parameters:
element - the element
Returns:
the status of the given element

synchronize

public void synchronize(
Object element)
                 throws 
CoreException
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProviderExtension
Synchronizes the document provided for the given element with the given element. After that call getSynchronizationTimeStamp and getModificationTimeStamp return the same value.

Specified by:
synchronize in interface IDocumentProviderExtension
Parameters:
element - the element
Throws:
CoreException - if the synchronization could not be performed

setProgressMonitor

public void setProgressMonitor(
IProgressMonitor progressMonitor)
Description copied from interface: IDocumentProviderExtension2
