[CDO] revisions or versions list. [message #765150]

Hello,

After shifting through various forum posts, Eike often advises to use view.setTimeStamp(ts); to get a CDOView which, can then be use to view.getObject(CDOID); and get an historical revision.
In order to so, one would need to know which timestamp to use right?

So far I am doing this, but it seems rather clumsy (counting back the versions duh..) Is there a better way ?

	public Iterator<CDORevision> cdoRevisions(CDOObject cdoObject) {
		
		List<CDORevision> revisions = Lists.newArrayList();
		
		CDORevision cdoRevision = cdoObject.cdoRevision();
		// get the previous.
		for (int version = cdoRevision.getVersion(); version > 0; version--) {

			CDOBranchVersion branchVersion = cdoRevision.getBranch()
					.getVersion(version);

			CDORevision revision = cdoObject
					.cdoView()
					.getSession()
					.getRevisionManager()
					.getRevisionByVersion(cdoObject.cdoID(), branchVersion, 0,
							true);
			
			revisions.add(revision);

			System.out.println("Revision= " + revision + " @ "
					+ new Date(revision.getTimeStamp()));

			CDORevisionDelta delta = revision.compare(cdoRevision);
			this.cdoPrintDelta(delta);
		}
		return revisions.iterator();
	}

I hope this is what you're asking, but this is how I have successfully gotten a specific version:

First get the object, then CDOUtil.getRevisionByVersion() to get the specific version, the get that versions timestamp, set it in the view and get by id. I've confirmed this gets the revision of the object that I request.

CDOObject latest = transaction.getObject(cdoID);
CDORevision specificRev = CDOUtil.getRevisionByVersion(latest, version);
CDOID revId = specificRev.getID();
transaction.setTimeStamp(mapRev.getTimeStamp());
CDOObject chosen = getObjectById(revId);

I would *assume* that setting the timestamp on the view will permanently set the view at this revision until the transaction is closed, which is ok if this is all you're going to do with the transaction. I don't know this for sure though as I haven't tested it. I'm about to ask this question to the forum in fact.

Here revID is identical to cdoID.

Not sure what mapRev is, but setTimeStamp() delegates to setBranchPoint(), which is overridden in CDOTransactionImpl:

@Override
public synchronized boolean setBranchPoint(CDOBranchPoint branchPoint)
{
if (branchPoint.getTimeStamp() != UNSPECIFIED_DATE)
{
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Changing the target time is not supported by transactions");
}

if (isDirty() && !getBranch().equals(branchPoint.getBranch()))
{
throw new IllegalStateException("Changing the target branch is impossible while transaction is dirty");
}

return super.setBranchPoint(branchPoint);
}

I.e. you can't change the timestamp (of a transaction) to anything but UNSPECIFIED_DATE, or in wother words, you can't
modify the past.

> CDOObject chosen = getObjectById(revId);
What exactly does getObjectById() do and how?

Cheers

Hi Eike,

Thanks for confirming that the cdo ids are the same, regardless of the version. It makes sense.

Here is an amended code snippet with fixes for the things you pointed out. In fact the code works I just didn't generalize it up enough before pasting it here:

CDOObject latest = view.getObject(cdoID);
CDORevision specificRev = CDOUtil.getRevisionByVersion(latest, version);
view.setTimeStamp(specificRev.getTimeStamp());
CDOObject chosen = view.getObject(cdoID);

Thanks,
Warwick

Oh and thanks for referring to CDOBranchPoint.UNSPECIFIED_DATE because my next question to the forum was to ask how I reset the view back to looking at the latest state of the object.
