Class DefaultOperationHistory

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.core.commands.operations.DefaultOperationHistory
All Implemented Interfaces:
IOperationHistory
public final class DefaultOperationHistory extends Object implements IOperationHistory

A base implementation of IOperationHistory that implements a linear undo and redo model . The most recently added operation is available for undo, and the most recently undone operation is available for redo.

If the operation eligible for undo is not in a state where it can be undone, then no undo is available. No other operations are considered. Likewise, if the operation available for redo cannot be redone, then no redo is available.

Implementations for the direct undo and redo of a specified operation are available. If a strict linear undo is to be enforced, than an IOperationApprover should be installed that prevents undo and redo of any operation that is not the most recently undone or redone operation in all of its undo contexts.

The data structures used by the DefaultOperationHistory are synchronized, and entry points that modify the undo and redo history concurrently are also synchronized. This means that the DefaultOperationHistory is relatively "thread-friendly" in its implementation. Outbound notifications or operation approval requests will occur on the thread that initiated the request. Clients may use DefaultOperationHistory API from any thread; however, listeners or operation approvers that receive notifications from the DefaultOperationHistory must be prepared to receive these notifications from a background thread. Any UI access occurring inside these notifications must be properly synchronized using the techniques specified by the client's widget library.

This implementation is not intended to be subclassed.

    • add

      public void add(IUndoableOperation operation)
      Description copied from interface: IOperationHistory

      Add the specified operation to the history without executing it. The operation should have already been executed by the time it is added to the history. Listeners will be notified that the operation was added to the history (OPERATION_ADDED).

      Specified by:
      add in interface IOperationHistory
      Parameters:
      operation - the operation to be added to the history

    • addOperationApprover

      public void addOperationApprover(IOperationApprover approver)

      Add the specified approver to the list of operation approvers consulted by the operation history before an undo or redo is allowed to proceed. This method has no effect if the instance being added is already in the list.

      Operation approvers must be prepared to receive these the operation approval messages from a background thread. Any UI access occurring inside the implementation must be properly synchronized using the techniques specified by the client's widget library.

      Specified by:
      addOperationApprover in interface IOperationHistory
      Parameters:
      approver - the IOperationApprover to be added as an approver.

    • addOperationHistoryListener

      public void addOperationHistoryListener(IOperationHistoryListener listener)

      Add the specified listener to the list of operation history listeners that are notified about changes in the history or operations that are executed, undone, or redone. This method has no effect if the instance being added is already in the list.

      Operation history listeners must be prepared to receive notifications from a background thread. Any UI access occurring inside the implementation must be properly synchronized using the techniques specified by the client's widget library.

      Specified by:
      addOperationHistoryListener in interface IOperationHistory
      Parameters:
      listener - the IOperationHistoryListener to be added as a listener.

      public void dispose(IUndoContext context, boolean flushUndo, boolean flushRedo, boolean flushContext)
      Description copied from interface: IOperationHistory

      Dispose of the specified context in the history. All operations that have only the given context will be disposed. References to the context in operations that have more than one context will also be removed. A history notification for the removal of each operation being disposed will be sent.

      Specified by:
      dispose in interface IOperationHistory
      Parameters:
      context - the context to be disposed
      flushUndo - true if the context should be flushed from the undo history, false if it should not

    • execute

      public IStatus execute(IUndoableOperation operation, IProgressMonitor monitor, IAdaptable info) throws ExecutionException
      Description copied from interface: IOperationHistory

      Execute the specified operation and add it to the operations history if successful. This method is used by clients who wish operation history listeners to receive notifications before and after the execution of the operation. Execution of the operation is subject to approval by any registered IOperationApprover2. If execution is approved, listeners will be notified before (ABOUT_TO_EXECUTE) and after (DONE or OPERATION_NOT_OK).

      If the operation successfully executes, an additional notification that the operation has been added to the history (OPERATION_ADDED) will be sent.

      Specified by:
      execute in interface IOperationHistory
      Parameters:
      operation - the operation to be executed and then added to the history
      monitor - the progress monitor to be used (or null) during the operation.
      info - the IAdaptable (or null) provided by the caller in order to supply UI information for prompting the user if necessary. When this parameter is not null, it should minimally contain an adapter for the org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell.class.
      Returns:
      the IStatus indicating whether the execution succeeded.

      The severity code in the returned status describes whether the operation succeeded and whether it was added to the history. OK severity indicates that the execute operation was successful and that the operation has been added to the history. Listeners will receive notifications about the operation's success (DONE) and about the operation being added to the history (OPERATION_ADDED).

      CANCEL severity indicates that the user cancelled the operation and that the operation was not added to the history. ERROR severity indicates that the operation did not successfully execute and that it was not added to the history. Any other severity code is not specifically interpreted by the history, and the operation will not be added to the history. For all severities other than OK, listeners will receive the OPERATION_NOT_OK notification instead of the DONE notification if the execution was approved and attempted.

      Throws:
      ExecutionException - if an exception occurred during execution.

    • redo

      public IStatus redo(IUndoContext context, IProgressMonitor monitor, IAdaptable info) throws ExecutionException
      Description copied from interface: IOperationHistory

      Redo the most recently undone operation in the given context. The redo of the operation is subject to approval by any registered IOperationApprover before it is attempted.

      Specified by:
      redo in interface IOperationHistory
      Parameters:
      context - the context to be redone
      monitor - the progress monitor to be used for the redo, or null if no progress monitor is provided.
      info - the IAdaptable (or null) provided by the caller in order to supply UI information for prompting the user if necessary. When this parameter is not null, it should minimally contain an adapter for the org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell.class.
      Returns:
      the IStatus indicating whether the redo succeeded.

      The severity code in the returned status describes whether the operation succeeded and whether it remains in the history. OK severity indicates that the redo operation was successful and (since release 3.2), that the operation will be placed in the undo history. (Prior to 3.2, a successfully redone operation would not be placed on the undo history if it could not be undone. Since 3.2, this is relaxed, and all successfully redone operations are placed in the undo history.) Listeners will receive the REDONE notification.

      Other severity codes (CANCEL, ERROR, INFO, etc.) are not specifically interpreted by the history. The operation will remain in the history and the returned status is simply passed back to the caller. For all severities other than OK, listeners will receive the OPERATION_NOT_OK notification instead of the REDONE notification if the redo was approved and attempted.

      Throws:
      ExecutionException - if an exception occurred during redo.

    • redoOperation

      public IStatus redoOperation(IUndoableOperation operation, IProgressMonitor monitor, IAdaptable info) throws ExecutionException
      Description copied from interface: IOperationHistory

      Parameters:
      operation - the operation to be redone
      monitor - the progress monitor to be used for the redo, or null if no progress monitor is provided
      info - the IAdaptable (or null) provided by the caller in order to supply UI information for prompting the user if necessary. When this parameter is not null, it should minimally contain an adapter for the org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell.class.
      Returns:
      the IStatus indicating whether the redo succeeded.

      The severity code in the returned status describes whether the operation succeeded and whether it remains in the history. OK severity indicates that the redo operation was successful, and (since release 3.2), that the operation will be placed in the undo history. (Prior to 3.2, a successfully redone operation would not be placed on the undo history if it could not be undone. Since 3.2, this is relaxed, and all successfully redone operations are placed in the undo history.) Listeners will receive the REDONE notification.

      Other severity codes (CANCEL, ERROR, INFO, etc.) are not specifically interpreted by the history. The operation will remain in the history and the returned status is simply passed back to the caller. For all severities other than OK, listeners will receive the OPERATION_NOT_OK notification instead of the REDONE notification if the redo was approved and attempted.

      Description copied from interface: IOperationHistory

      Replace the specified operation in the undo or redo history with the provided list of replacements. This protocol is typically used when a composite is broken up into its atomic parts. The replacements will be inserted so that the first replacement will be the first of the replacements to be undone or redone. Listeners will be notified about the removal of the replaced element and the addition of each replacement.

      Specified by:

      Description copied from interface: IOperationHistory

      Undo the most recently executed operation in the given context. The undo of the operation is subject to approval by any registered IOperationApprover before it is attempted.

      Specified by:
      undo in interface IOperationHistory
      Parameters:
      context - the context to be undone
      monitor - the progress monitor to be used for the undo, or null if no progress monitor is provided.

      Returns:
      the IStatus indicating whether the undo succeeded.

      The severity code in the returned status describes whether the operation succeeded and whether it remains in the history. OK severity indicates that the undo operation was successful, and (since release 3.2), that the operation will be placed on the redo history. (Prior to 3.2, a successfully undone operation would not be placed on the redo history if it could not be redone. Since 3.2, this is relaxed, and all successfully undone operations are placed in the redo history.) Listeners will receive the UNDONE notification.

      Other severity codes (CANCEL, ERROR, INFO, etc.) are not specifically interpreted by the history. The operation will remain in the history and the returned status is simply passed back to the caller. For all severities other than OK, listeners will receive the OPERATION_NOT_OK notification instead of the UNDONE notification if the undo was approved and attempted.

      Throws:
      ExecutionException - if an exception occurred during undo.

    • undoOperation

      public IStatus undoOperation(IUndoableOperation operation, IProgressMonitor monitor, IAdaptable info) throws ExecutionException
      Description copied from interface: IOperationHistory

      Undo the specified operation. The undo of the operation is subject to approval by any registered IOperationApprover before it is attempted.

      Specified by:
      undoOperation in interface IOperationHistory
      Parameters:
      operation - the operation to be undone
      monitor - the progress monitor to be used for the undo, or null if no progress monitor is provided
      info - the IAdaptable (or null) provided by the caller in order to supply UI information for prompting the user if necessary. When this parameter is not null, it should minimally contain an adapter for the org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell.class.
      Returns:
      the IStatus indicating whether the undo succeeded.

      The severity code in the returned status describes whether the operation succeeded and whether it remains in the history. OK severity indicates that the undo operation was successful, and (since release 3.2), that the operation will be placed on the redo history. (Prior to 3.2, a successfully undone operation would not be placed on the redo history if it could not be redone. Since 3.2, this is relaxed, and all successfully undone operations are placed in the redo history.) Listeners will receive the UNDONE notification.

      Other severity codes (CANCEL, ERROR, INFO, etc.) are not specifically interpreted by the history. The operation will remain in the history and the returned status is simply passed back to the caller. For all severities other than OK, listeners will receive the OPERATION_NOT_OK notification instead of the UNDONE notification if the undo was approved and attempted.

      Throws:
      ExecutionException - if an exception occurred during undo.

    • openOperation

      public void openOperation(ICompositeOperation operation, int mode)
      Description copied from interface: IOperationHistory

      Open this composite operation and consider it an operation that contains other related operations. Consider all operations that are subsequently executed or added to be part of this operation. When an operation is opened, listeners will immediately receive a notification for the opened operation. The specific notification depends on the mode in which the operation is opened (ABOUT_TO_EXECUTE, ABOUT_TO_UNDO, ABOUT_TO_REDO). Notifications for any other execute or add while this operation is open will not occur. Instead, those operations will be added to the current operation.

      Note: This method is intended to be used by legacy undo frameworks that do not expect related undo operations to appear in the same undo history as the triggering undo operation. When an operation is open, any subsequent requests to execute, add, undo, or redo another operation will result in that operation being added to the open operation. Once the operation is closed, the composite will be considered an atomic operation. Clients should not modify the composite directly (by adding and removing children) while it is open.

      When a composite is open, operations that are added to the history will be considered part of the open operation instead. Operations that are executed while a composite is open will first be executed and then added to the composite.

      Open operations cannot be nested. If this method is called when a different operation is open, it is presumed to be an application coding error and this method will throw an IllegalStateException.

      Specified by:
      openOperation in interface IOperationHistory
      Parameters:
      operation - the composite operation to be considered as the parent for all subsequent operations.
      mode - the mode the operation is executing in. Can be one of EXECUTE, UNDO, or REDO. This determines what notifications are sent.

    • closeOperation

      public void closeOperation(boolean operationOK, boolean addToHistory, int mode)
      Description copied from interface: IOperationHistory

      Close the current operation. If the operation has successfully completed, send listeners a DONE, UNDONE, or REDONE notification, depending on the mode. Otherwise send an OPERATION_NOT_OK notification. Add the operation to the history if specified and send an OPERATION_ADDED notification.

      Any operations that are executed and added after this operation is closed will no longer be considered part of this operation.

      This method has no effect if the caller has not previously called IOperationHistory.openOperation(org.eclipse.core.commands.operations.ICompositeOperation, int).

      Specified by:
      closeOperation in interface IOperationHistory
      Parameters:
      operationOK - true if the operation successfully completed. Listeners should be notified with DONE, UNDONE, or REDONE. false if the operation did not successfully complete. Listeners should be notified with OPERATION_NOT_OK.
      addToHistory - true if the operation should be added to the history, false if it should not. If the operationOK parameter is false, the operation will never be added to the history.
      mode - the mode the operation was opened in. Can be one of EXECUTE, UNDO, or REDO. This determines what notifications are sent.

    • operationChanged

      public void operationChanged(IUndoableOperation operation)
      Description copied from interface: IOperationHistory

      The specified operation has changed in some way since it was added to the operation history. Notify listeners with an OPERATION_CHANGED event.

      Specified by:
      operationChanged in interface IOperationHistory
      Parameters:
      operation - the operation that has changed.
