[Texo] Refresh resources [message #1015006] Wed, 27 February 2013 07:54 Go to next message

Hi Martin,

I was wondering, if there is a possibility to force a refresh of a TexoResource ignoring the cache. For example: I open the editor, somebody else changes values in the database, I restart the editor, but the changed values are not shown. Can I force to reload the data without a cache? I thought maybe texoResource.getEObjectStore().clearCache() could do this, but it doesn't.

Best regards
Bastian

Hi Bastian,
The EObjectStore has a refresh method to refresh individual objects. Would that work for you (I can expose this method
int the TexoResource api directly)?

Hi Martin,

that doesn't have the effect I'm searching for. My problem is:
- I start the editor --> it loads the resources via Texo
- Somebody changes the data in the database (not in the editor)
- I close the editor.
- I restart the editor. And it loads the resources from the cache (which is good in most cases, because it accelerates the start). So the editor shows the same objects it did the last time.

I also tried resource.getEObjectStore().refresh(object) and resource.refresh(object) for all objects or only the selected one, but this doesn't make a difference. If I'd call the EntityManager on the server or restart the server, the resources are up to date (of course Smile ). Could I force this behaviour manually?

Best regards
Bastian

Hi Bastian,
So the refresh does not work? (I think I have a testcase for it)
Or the refresh method does not do what you want? (I am open/interested in a different solution btw, with some polling
mechanism or so).
Or you can opt for starting with a new resource when an editor starts. This is more similar to how web apps work (to
limit the data in the browser and load frequently from the server).

Hi Martin,

How is the refresh method supposed to work? Should it ask the EntityManager, if there are changes on the object, or should it ask the EntityManager to ask the database (without using cached objects)? If I just refresh an object, changes in the database are not shown. Notice, that the changes n the objects aren't done via the EntityManager from the servlet.

Hi Bastian,
The refresh should read the state from the database, the entitymanager in the servlet should not be re-used/cache data
between different requests. So a refresh request to the server should use a new entitymanager without caching. On the
server there should not be caching.

Could be a bug in Texo?

On the client there are 2 caches: the resource itself maintains a list of eobjects, the eobjectstore has a cache (also
to resolve references in the correct way).

In any case, not sure how practical it is to refresh all objects explicitly... Seems that a different
(to-be-implemented) approach can make more sense. Or can you close the resource when closing the editor?

Hi Martin,

what do you mean with close the resource? The JSONTexoResource?
Refreshing each object isn't a very good solution, indeed Smile Most of all, because it doesn't work either. I also tried it very basically by calling the servlet in a browser. If I call http://localhost:8080/texo/jsonws/User or http://localhost:8080/texo/jsonws/User/1 after I changed the user name in the database, returns the old user. Restarting the servlet then works.
I use the latest Texo version with Eclipse 2.4.1.

Best regards
Bastian

Okay this is indeed a bug. Can you enter a bugzilla?

Then even if refresh works, is it a good solution...? My idea with Texo is to follow a more web-like-pattern where data
is reloaded frequently in the browser and any 'dirty' objects are only detected when committing changes (optimistic
locking).

Hi,

Opened it here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=401968.
At some points the resources should be up-to-date. Therefore it is useful to refresh them. But most of the time this optimistic approach is better.

Thanks for your help (think I'll have to invite you to a beer sometimes Smile)
