<h2>Resource Loader</h2>
<p>
The class <a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/resource/ResourceLoader.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.parsley.resource.ResourceLoader">ResourceLoader</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/resource/ResourceLoader.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a> can be used to handle resource loading.
This class uses internally the <a href="04-Customization.php#EmptyResourceInitializer.php" title="Go to &quot;Empty Resource Initializer&quot;">Empty Resource Initializer</a>.
</p>
<a name="EmptyResourceInitializer" ></a>
<h2>Empty Resource Initializer</h2>
<p>
If you need to initialize your model, for the first use, you can define an implementation of <a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/resource/EmptyResourceInitializer.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.parsley.resource.EmptyResourceInitializer">EmptyResourceInitializer</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/resource/EmptyResourceInitializer.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a>.
When the main resource will be found empty, your code will be executed.
</p>
<a name="EditingDomainFinder" ></a>
<h2>Editing Domain Finder</h2>
<p>
The class <a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/edit/EditingDomainFinder.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.parsley.edit.EditingDomainFinder">EditingDomainFinder</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/edit/EditingDomainFinder.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a> can be inherited to provide a specific
way to find the editign domain.
</p>
<a name="ResourceSaveManager" ></a>
<h2>Resource Save Manager</h2>
<p>
Resource saving is delegated to <a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/edit/ResourceSaveManager.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.parsley.edit.ResourceSaveManager">ResourceSaveManager</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/edit/ResourceSaveManager.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a>
which, by defaults only saves the passed <a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/resource/Resource.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.Resource">Resource</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/resource/Resource.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a>.
You can inject your own save manager and implement the method <span class="inlinecode">precondition(Resource)</span>, for
instance, you may want to validate the resource before saving, and in case the validation
fails to return <span class="inlinecode">false</span>. If the precondition is <span class="inlinecode">false</span> the default implementation
will not save the resource (and in turn will return <span class="inlinecode">false</span>).

<h3>Validate Resource Save Manager</h3>
<p>
We provide an example of custom resource save manager: <a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/edit/ValidateResourceSaveManager.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.parsley.edit.ValidateResourceSaveManager">ValidateResourceSaveManager</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/edit/ValidateResourceSaveManager.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a>,

</p>
<a name="FeatureProvider1" ></a>
<h3>Prima versione</h3>
<p>
To customize the <em>feature list</em> it can be injected a <a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/ui/provider/FeaturesProvider.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.parsley.ui.provider.FeaturesProvider">FeaturesProvider</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/ui/provider/FeaturesProvider.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a>.
The default is to return the list of all the features in the EClass, but the programmer can customize it (for instance,
by returning only a superset, or using a different order) on an EClass-based strategy. The customization can be done
redefining buildMap and adding mappings.
</p>
<p>
<div class="literallayout">
<div class="incode">
<p class="code">
<span class="keyword">protected</span>&nbsp;<span class="keyword">void</span>&nbsp;buildMap(EClassToEStructuralFeatureMap&nbsp;map)&nbsp;{<br/>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
</p>
</div>
</div>
</p>
<p>
In the example we specify that for the EClass <em>Library</em> the feature that are to be displayed are <em>name</em>
and <em>address</em>.
</p>
<a name="FeatureProvider2" ></a>
<h3>Seconda versione</h3>
<p>
When the framework builds components according to the
<a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/EStructuralFeature.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EStructuralFeature">EStructuralFeature</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/EStructuralFeature.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a>s of a given
<a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/EClass.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass">EClass</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/EClass.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a> it relies on an injected
<a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/ui/provider/FeaturesProvider.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.parsley.ui.provider.FeaturesProvider">FeaturesProvider</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/ui/provider/FeaturesProvider.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a>.
The default behavior is to simply return all the features of the a given EClass,
in the order they are defined in the EClass;
you may want to provide a custom implementation by redefining
the method <span class="inlinecode">List&lt;EStructuralFeature&gt;&nbsp;getFeatures(EClass)</span>, or
<span class="inlinecode">List&lt;EStructuralFeature&gt;&nbsp;getFeatures(EObject)</span>,
for instance by returning the features ordered according to their name
(the following snippet uses an utility class from the framework)
</p>
<p>
<div class="literallayout">
<div class="incode">
<p class="code">
<span class="keyword">public</span>&nbsp;<span class="keyword">class</span>&nbsp;OrderedEStructuralFeaturesProvider&nbsp;<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="keyword">extends</span>&nbsp;FeaturesProvider&nbsp;{<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@Inject<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EStructuralFeatureNameComparator&nbsp;comparator;<br/>
<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@Override<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="keyword">public</span>&nbsp;List&lt;EStructuralFeature&gt;&nbsp;getFeatures(EClass&nbsp;eClass)&nbsp;{<br/>
List&lt;EStructuralFeature&gt;&nbsp;features&nbsp;=&nbsp;<span class="keyword">super</span>.getFeatures(eClass);<br/>
Collections.sort(features,&nbsp;<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="keyword">new</span>&nbsp;EStructuralFeatureNameComparator());<br/>
<span class="keyword">return</span>&nbsp;features;<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br/>
}
</p>
</div>
</div>
</p>
<p>
Alternatively, you can set the mappings, i.e., specify the structural
features you want to be used given an EClass, by implementing
the method <span class="inlinecode">buildMap</span>, which receives the
<a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/ui/provider/FeaturesProvider.EClassToEStructuralFeatureMap.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.parsley.ui.provider.FeaturesProvider.EClassToEStructuralFeatureMap">FeaturesProvider.EClassToEStructuralFeatureMap</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/ui/provider/FeaturesProvider.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a>
that can be filled with the method <span class="inlinecode">mapTo</span>;
for instance, using the EMF extended library
example, this customization will return only the <em>name</em> and <em>address</em> features
for <span class="inlinecode">Library</span>, the <em>firstName</em>, <em>lastName</em> and <em>address</em> for
<span class="inlinecode">Person</span>, and the <em>firstName</em>, <em>lastName</em> and <em>books</em> (but
not <em>address</em>) for <span class="inlinecode">Writer</span> (which inherits from <span class="inlinecode">Person</span>).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LIBRARY__NAME,&nbsp;ADDRESSABLE__ADDRESS);<br/>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PERSON__FIRST_NAME,&nbsp;PERSON__LAST_NAME,<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ADDRESSABLE__ADDRESS);<br/>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WRITER__BOOKS);<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br/>
}

Another possibility is to build a map which relies on Strings
both for the <a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/EClass.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass">EClass</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/EClass.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a> and for
the list of <a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/EStructuralFeature.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EStructuralFeature">EStructuralFeature</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/EStructuralFeature.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a>;
note that the name of the <a class="jdoc" href="http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.9.0/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/EClass.html" title="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass">EClass</abbr></a> <a class="srcLink" href="https://github.com/eclipse/emf/blob/R2_9_0/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/src/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/EClass.java" title="View Source Code" >(src)</a> should
be obtained by using <span class="inlinecode">getInstanceClassName()</span>; you can also
combine the two approaches (in that case the map built with
<span class="inlinecode">buildMap</span> has the precedence):

the customizations will be applied only to <a href="03-Components.php#TableComponent.php" title="Go to &quot;Table Component&quot;">tables</a>, not to <a href="03-Components.php#FormComponent.php" title="Go to &quot;Form Component&quot;">Forms</a>.

the features. It can be customized, with injection (see Injection paragraph), to customize the caption label on the
left of each control in a form and the headers in a table's columns.
The framework use a polimorphic mechanism to find customizations, so that It can
be written a method with a specific signature build by the keyword <em>'text'</em> followed by the EClass and the EStructuralFeature.
All parts of the name are separated by an underscore character and the method must accept a parameter of type EStructuralFeature.
</p>
<p>
In the following example we specify the caption text for the feature 'Author' of Book and the feature 'Name' for
Writer.
</p>
<p>
<div class="literallayout">
<div class="incode">
<p class="code">
<span class="keyword">public</span>&nbsp;String&nbsp;text_Book_author(<span class="keyword">final</span>&nbsp;EStructuralFeature&nbsp;feature)&nbsp;{<br/>
