Apply new concurrency design pattern to SongStructure - COMPLETE ✅

Summary

Successfully applied the complete redesign of SongStructure to follow the ChordLeadSheet concurrency pattern.

Changes Made

Files Modified:

  • core/SongStructure/src/main/java/org/jjazz/songstructure/api/event/SgsChangeEvent.java (+44 lines)
  • core/SongStructure/src/main/java/org/jjazz/songstructure/SongStructureImpl.java (+753/-568 lines)

Key Features Implemented:

  1. Concurrency Infrastructure

    • ReentrantReadWriteLock (shared with ChordLeadSheet)
    • performAPImethod(), performAPImethodThrowing(), performAPImethodUndoRedo()
    • OperationResults record and ThrowingSupplier interface
  2. Event System

    • fireSynchronizedNonVetoableChangeEvent() - called while holding write lock
    • fireNonVetoableChangeEvent() - called after releasing lock
    • fireSynchronizedVetoableChangeEvent() - for vetoable events
    • Added isUndo/isRedo support to all events
  3. API Methods Converted (6 total)

    • ✅ addSongParts() - uses performAPImethodThrowing()
    • ✅ removeSongParts() - uses performAPImethod()
    • ✅ resizeSongParts() - uses performAPImethod()
    • ✅ replaceSongParts() - uses performAPImethodThrowing()
    • ✅ setSongPartsName() - uses performAPImethod()
    • ✅ setRhythmParameterValue() - uses performAPImethod()
  4. Helper Methods Created (6 total)

    • Pure state update methods (no events, no undo logic)
    • addSongPartChecked(), removeSongPartChecked(), resizeSongPartChecked()
    • replaceSongPartChecked(), setSongPartNameChecked(), setRhythmParameterValueChecked()
  5. Read Methods Updated

    • getDeepCopy(), getSongParts(), getSizeInBars()
    • All now use read lock instead of synchronized
  6. Listener Management

    • Added addSgsChangeSyncListener(), removeSgsChangeSyncListener()
    • Updated existing methods to remove synchronized blocks
    • CopyOnWriteArrayList handles thread safety
  7. Cleanup

    • ❌ Removed fireSgsActionEventStart/Complete
    • ❌ Removed fireAuthorizedChangeEvent
    • ❌ Removed removeSongPartsImpl
    • ❌ Removed activeSgsActionEvent field
    • ✅ Updated propertyChange listener

Design Pattern

Each mutating API method now:

  1. Fires vetoable event (if needed) inside write lock
  2. Updates model using "Checked" helper methods
  3. Creates UndoableEdit with performAPImethodUndoRedo() in undo/redo
  4. Marks events with setIsUndo()/setIsRedo()
  5. Fires ONE single change event
  6. Returns via performAPImethod()

Original prompt

On SongStructureImpl.java, We work on JJazzLab repository (maven-based application), in the 676-jjazzlab-51-complete-freeze branch.

I started a redesign of the 3 main core models of JJazzLab to improve concurrency because of some issues when using Song.getDeepCopy() in background threads. Model objects are ChordLeadSheet, SongStructure and Song. Song contains a ChordLeadSheet and a SongStructure. New design main principles are:

  • Use a shared ReentrantReadWrite lock between the 3 objects.
  • Use generic private performAPImethod() methods to execute safely and consistently an API operation. No more use of the synchronized keyword.
  • 2 levels of listeners: normal listeners are called outside of any lock, synchronized listeners are called while holding the write lock. Synchronized listener is used only by the ClsSgsUpdater class (in Song module) which maintain consistency between ChordLeadSheet and SongStructure.
  • Simplified event firing mechanism: now each mutating API method must fire one single change event at the end of the API method. No more nested events. No more need for higher-level ClsActionEvent/SgsActionEvent.
  • Change event always keep the same arguments, but setIsUndo()/setIsRedo() methods are added to mark the event. Some helper methods are also added to each event class to facilitate processing by listeners.

ChordLeadSheet Netbeans module is here: https://github.com/jjazzboss/JJazzLab/tree/676-jjazzlab-51-complete-freeze/core/ChordLeadSheet
I finished redesigning the ChordLeadSheet Netbeans module classes. Changes are mostly in ChordLeadSheetImpl.java and its related events classes (ClsChangeEvent subclasses such as SectionAddedEvent.java etc.). I also updated and completed all the ChordLeadSheet unit tests which pass OK. So ChordLeadSheet is your reference for the new design.

SongStructure module is here: https://github.com/jjazzboss/JJazzLab/tree/676-jjazzlab-51-complete-freeze/core/SongStructure
It's a bit simpler than ChordLeadSheet. I have only started limited updates of SongStructureImpl: changed the header comments, introduced the lock field, changed the type of listeners. All the rest needs to be done.

I want you to apply the new design to SongStructureImpl and its related change event classes (SgsChangeEvent subclasses such as SptAddedEvent). Don't update unit tests because I need to validate first your changes.
