16. modeling an
in-house workflow
(Platform-)
LogListener.java
InHouse
Workflow.java+ «controller»
+
SilentServer
Connection.java «io»
+
E4LifeCycle.
postContextCreate() «wiring»

17. setup in e4
public class E4LifeCycle {
@PostContextCreate
void postContextCreate(IEclipseContext workbenchContext) {
// 1. AERI uses Eclipse DI wherever possible:
IEclipseContext context = SystemControl.getSystemContext();
context.setParent(workbenchContext);
// 2. Create and register the server-connection and workflow with AERI:
context.set(IServerConnection.class, new SilentServerConnection());
context.set(InHouseWorkflow.class, ContextInjectionFactory.make(InHouseWorkflow.class, context));
// 3. Create the log listener
context.set(LogListener.CTX_STATUS_FILTER, Predicates.alwaysTrue());
context.set(LogListener.class, ContextInjectionFactory.make(LogListener.class, context));
// 4. Finally, register the listener with the platform
LogListener l = context.get(LogListener.class);
Platform.addLogListener(l);
}
