[CDO] How to construct connection aware URIs [message #952790]

Hi,

I learned from
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=326186 and
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=329786
that CDO supports connection aware URIs.
Looking at the test case of the 2nd bugzilla, it seems to me that such a connection aware URI must be constructed manually, e.g.
URI.createURI(CDONet4jUtil.PROTOCOL_TCP + "://localhost:port/repo1/path");
This means that I must know the hostname, port and which protocol to use.
Is there a way to obtain this information by looking at the session of a particular CDOObject?
In my application I have a CDOObject that exists within a user-created session, i.e. from the CDO Sessions view, and I want the app to obtain/create a connection aware URI for this object.
Is this possible?

Regards,
Tim

That's the definition of "connection-aware" :P

Only with nasty casts. Something like:

((IConnector)((CDONet4jSession)object.cdoView().getSession()).options().getNet4jProtocol().getChannel().getMultiplexer()).getURL()

I wonder about why you want to do that. I guess there's some misunderstanding about connection-aware URIs.

Yes, with the above code. Why do you want the URIs to be connection-aware?

I'm off for the EclipseCon now. I'll keep a flag on this thread and follow-up next week.

Hi Eike,

thanks for your fast reply, that does the trick.

The reason I want to do this is because I have a registry for instances of my model, similar to EMFs package registry. The resource URIs containing the registered objects are stored in a properties file that is read when the plugin starts, but at this point in time, the sessions are not opened yet. They are manually created by the user via the CDO Sessions view. Putting connection-aware URIs in the properties file should solve that problem.

The objects are registered from an editor that is opened through the sessions view, i.e. the code that does the registration did not create the session and thus doesn't know the connection details. But with the line of code you provided, it can determine it.

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Tim
