Method Detail

initialiseListener

public void initialiseListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener,
                               java.lang.Object modelElement)

Description copied from class: NotationProvider

Initialise the appropriate model change listeners for the given modelelement to the given listener. Overrule this when you need more than listening to all events from the base modelelement.

Overrides:: initialiseListener in class NotationProvider

Parameters:: listener - the given listener; modelElement - the modelelement that we provide notation for

updateListener

public void updateListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener,
                           java.lang.Object modelElement,
                           java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent pce)

Description copied from class: NotationProvider

Update the set of listeners based on the given event.

The default implementation just removes all listeners, and then re-initialises completely - this is method 1. A more efficient way would be to dissect the propertyChangeEvent, and only adapt the listeners that need to be adapted - this is method 2.

Method 2 is explained by the code below that is commented out. Method 1 is the easiest to implement, since at every arrival of an event, we just remove all old listeners, and then inspect the current model, and add listeners where we need them. I.e. the advantage is that we only need to traverse the model structure in one location, i.e. the initialiseListener() method.

Overrides:: updateListener in class NotationProvider

Parameters:: listener - the given listener; modelElement - the modelelement that we provide notation for; pce - the received event, that we base the changes on
