Re: Updating text file in MultiView
Hi,
use XMLDataObject.getDocument() to access the DOM. After modifying the DOM,
you can update the file like this:
final FileObject file = getPrimaryFile();
file.getFileSystem().runAtomicAction(() -> {
final FileLock l = file.lock();
try (final OutputStream os = file.getOutputStream(l)) {
XMLUtil.write(doc, os, "utf-8");
//Do something to unregister the Saveable
} finally {
l.releaseLock();
}
});
Hope it helps.

Updating text file in MultiView
I have a XMLMultiView from the generic New File Type wizard. I'm creating the GUI form for the XML file. How do I keep the XML file up to date after I make changes in the GUI? Do I need to create a Saveable and put it in the lookup to mark it as "dirty", or will that happen automatically when the XML file is updated? Can I update the XML file only when the tabs are switched vs for every change? In that case, I would have to add a Saveable since the XML may not have changed yet. Anyway, how does that workflow all work out? Regards, Will Hartung
