Re: Subsystem node refresh

Hi, David:

A quick google search for "ISystemResourceChangeEvent" gives this link:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iadthelp/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.etools.systems.doc.isv/reference/api/com/ibm/etools/systems/model/ISystemResourceChangeEvent.html

Note that this page says this interface is "for internal use only" and that BPs and ISVs should be using ISystemModelChangeEvent ... :-o

Also, there are related pages on the eclipse.org web site. For example, the same google search turned up this page:

http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.rse.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/rse/core/events/class-use/ISystemResourceChangeEvent.html

Some time ago, IBM turned over much of the RSE stuff to the open source Eclipse foundation, and that is now part of the "target management" project of Eclipse. See this page:
http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/

Although this does not include iSeries or zSeries specific pieces, it includes all of the common infrastructure for RSE, and so may be very useful to study.

HTH,

Mark

Ok, I'll kick this forum of with a problem I'm encountering now.

I'm writing a subsystem for my plug-in.

I've got a property page (extends SystemBasePropertyPage) that allows
the user to update data ... when the fields are updated, and the user
clicks apply, my page performs an update on the host (via rmi to a
server & PCML calls to the host). This works fine.

When the update is complete ... I want to update RSE tree node
associated with my resource in my subsystem.

To do this, I try to refresh the resources parent resource ... I do this
by invoking the following code within the parent resources class :

----------
SystemRegistry registry = SystemPlugin.getTheSystemRegistry();

markStale(true);

registry.fireEvent(new SystemResourceChangeEvent(this,
ISystemResourceChangeEvents.EVENT_REFRESH_SELECTED, subsystem));
----------

The parent resource extends AbstractResource and implements
ISystemContainer.

The problem is ... sometimes this forced refresh works ... sometimes it
does nothing.

After the forced refresh does nothing, if I cancel out of the property
page and select refresh on the parent node in the RSE tree, the node
updates fine.

Any suggestions?
