How to edit a Set<? extends EntityProxy> with GWT Editor framework? - gwt

Question

for sake of simplicity:
public class Person
{
String name;
Set<Address> addresses;
}
public class Address
{
String city;
String street;
}
with and matching
public interface PersonProxy extends EntityProxy
{
public String getName();
public Set<AdressProxy> getAddresses();
}
and
public interface AdressProxy extends EntityProxy
{
public String getCity();
public String getStreet();
}
I got UiBuinder classes to edit AddressProxy
and it clear to me how to use ListEditor in case if I got List but data is Set in the Person class
how do I use Editor Framework to edit them?
Or may be how do I convert Set to List when it becomes PersonProxy?
I did an attempt to put a kind of adapter Editor class that would implement
LeafValueEditor<Set<AddressProxy>>
and then inside of the LeafValueEditor.setValue() move to a List and start a new driver.edit() on a separate Editor hierarchy that takes care of List editing but with now luck.

Answer 1

You should create a CompositeEditor<Set<AddressProxy>, AddressProxy, AddressEditor>, similar to a ListEditor but handling a Set instead of a List.
I suppose you could somehow delegate to a ListEditor though I'm really not sure.

Answer 2

I've done it with Points and Routes (one Route contains N Points):
Route (Composite):
#UiField
TextBox name;
#Ignore
#UiField
FlexTable listPoints;
PointsEditor pointsEditor = new PointsEditor();
....
pointsEditor.add(String id);
PointsEditor:
public class PointsEditor implements HasRequestContext<List<PointProxy>>, ValueAwareEditor<List<PointProxy>> {
List<PointProxy> points = new ArrayList<PointProxy>();
public void add(String id) {
PointProxy point = ctx.create(PointProxy.class);
point.setId(id);
points.add(point);
}
Route (server side):
#Embedded
private List<Point> points = new ArrayList<Point>();
RouteProxy
public interface RouteProxy extends EntityProxy {
abstract List<PointProxy> getPoints();
abstract void setPoints(List<PointProxy> points);
PointProxy
public interface PointProxy extends ValueProxy {
...
}
