Forcing Activiti editor to refresh from bpmn file

Hi!We're trying to implement a custom text based editor for bpmn files. When this editor's content is changed, we want the activiti editor instance with the same resource open to refresh itself from the bpmn file. Is there an easy way to do this? We figured there is an "Update" command in the conte

The way graphiti works is that is creates an intermediate file, containing a diagram that graphiti can understand. As long as the activiti-editor is open, it manipulates that representation. When saved, the original BPMN-file is written with the changes? However, as long as the editor-window is open, the BPMN source file will not be read agian.

A solution would be to find the right editor and close/re-open it, to have the BPMN read.

Thank you.

Is there a simple way to disable editing in an activiti editor? Because we're thinking about letting the user have both editors open but disable one if the other is dirty.
