Eclipse PDE - ViewPart onExit命令？

Question

I have an issue with a view that showed a Tree that made a lot of connections to a SQLite database, and want to make just one instead. I therefore need to use something that controls its lifecycle, so that the connection would be opened and closed together with the view.

So I looked here and I looked directly at the methods that it had, but can't find nothing with exit . I did have the constructor I could overwrite instead of an init method...

PS Am I thinking about this wrong? Should the connection be opened and closed differently?

Answer 1

Upon further inspection I've spotted in the exact link I shared this:

Subclasses may extend or reimplement the following methods as required:

• setInitializationData - extend to provide additional initialization when view extension is instantiated
• init(IWorkbenchPartSite) - extend to provide additional initialization when view is assigned its site
• dispose - extend to provide additional cleanup
• getAdapter - reimplement to make their view adaptable

So yeah: dispose() is the answer. I'm still getting used to the naming conventions here.

Anyway, I hope this is useful to somebody except me :)
