** [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=166338 166338] Asynchronous Callbacks
+
*** DaveM: RSE has always been like throwing away children on refresh; it was synchronous, so Expand would hang the UI
** '''expandTo()''' API for the RSE System View - Events are not sufficient: due to lazy evaluation only one level works. Want a TreePath to expand
+
*** DaveM: Eclipse Deferred Query Framework currently used. Michael: Refresh and deferred loading are two very different things - refresh "patches" the tree with obtained data
 +
*** We must be asynchronous: user's refresh operation must not remove tree items but rather just call the subsystem with a refresh query.
 +
*** Currently: SystemRefreshAction fires Event.REFRESH. Event is handled by the tree, actually doing the query. Old RSE was very synchronous.
 +
**** Now we'd have two different kinds of events - (a) REFRESH meaning "get new information" and (b) REFRESH meaning "I've got new information in the model"
 +
*** '''Requirements'''
 +
**** 1. Framework must not throw away children on Event.REFRESH, and properly merge them when results are available. All subsystems would benefit from that. Also because there would be 2 queries if we did not have caching
 +
**** 2. Subsystems are themselves responsible for updating their model.
 +
**** 3. Once the model is up-to-date, it tells the RSE views that new data is available
 +

** '''expandTo()''' API for the RSE System View - Events are not sufficient: due to lazy evaluation only one level works. Want a TreePath to expand - similar to SystemRemoteFolderDialog.setPreSelection(): Dave currently turning off deferred queries temporarily to make that happen
 +
*** Need a Utility class for operations on the SystemView; even without a view, a single multi-level query would be nice... need both a non-UI multi-level query ("walk the tree from here to here") and a view-level expand operation.
 +
*** View-level operation is just a utility class... non-UI expand functionality would perhaps just fire the right expand events ... might go hand-in-hand with the new Refresh mechanism.
