Interface EPlaceholderResolver

public interface EPlaceholderResolver
This service is used to resolve references from MPlaceholders. The issue is that we may be storing a cloned snippet which contains references to 'shared elements' but instantiating the snippet in a new window requires that the shared elements list be updated.
Since:
1.0
Restriction:
This interface is not intended to be referenced by clients.

      void resolvePlaceholderRef(MPlaceholder ph, MWindow refWin)
      This method is used to re-resolve a placeholder's reference to a 'shared part' within the context of a particular window. This is necessary because placeholders must be referencing an element in that window's 'sharedParts' list.

      Implementors may presume that the if the placeholder's reference is already non-null then it has already been resolved.

      Parameters:
      ph - The placeholder to set the reference for (if necessary)
      refWin - The window the whose shared parts are to be referenced
