Build Identifier: 

Hi Colleagues,

In Graphiti the following scenario fails:
1) Create three pictogram elements (pe1, pe2, pe3)
2) Create connection between pe1 and pe2
The correct connection feature methods are called - canCreate, create...
3) Drag one of the endpoints and drop it onto the pe3 pictogram
The connection transfer does not execute the canCreate, create methods and thus - allows free tranfer (even if the new target does not allow connections)

I'm attaching an archive with some screenshots. We have a custom layout feature for connections and it is working fine on pictogram element move.

Regards,
Stanislav

Reproducible: Always

Hi Stanislav,

this is done by intention, CreateConnectionFeatures only control the creation of new connections. Drag&drop of an endpoint is controlled by a so-called ReconnectionFeature (subclass of DefaultReconnectionFeature). The corresponding methods there will be called.

Plese reopen if this does not solve the issue.

Hi Michael,

This solves the issue, yes :)
I must have missed the ReconnectionFeature while reading the Graphiti help context.

Regards,
Stanislav
