Correct usage of CDO Views [message #1668506]

Hi guys,

I'm currently working with a CDO Server and a Client accessing the server.

I'm not sure what is the correct use of the CDO views.

Can it lead to problems if I use the views in this way:

view v = session.openView()
model = resource.getContents().get(0);
v.closeView();
model.doSth();

Thank you in advance for your help!

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

CDOView is usable to a read-only access, if you need read-write access
use a CDOTransaction :

CDOTransaction transaction = session.openTransaction();

Best Regards.

Hi,

thanks for your quick answer.

Now I have a follow up question:

Is the model completely loaded by the

model = resource.getContents().get(0);

command (assuming there is only one root element in this resource) or does the CDO server lazy loading?

Because by

v.closeView();
model.doSth();

I assume the whole model is loaded.

Am I right with this assumption?

Cheers,
Daniel

The latter.

You must not close the view until you're done accessing the model that's provided (and managed) by the view/transaction.

No. Unless you've configured prefetching to load it completely.

Hi,

I have got a related question to the issue about keeping open views/transactions:
is it okay to keep a transaction open for the whole runtime of my application or
should I rather use a view and open the transaction only on demand for a short time?

Hi,

in my understanding of the CDO Server you should use Views if you are just reading the models.

Transactions should be used if you want to write to your models.

E.g. you can open a View (keep the View open), read models and if you want to write just open a Transaction, execute the write actions and commit the Transaction.
If you need to write again later you can open another Transaction.

Cheers,
Daniel

Both approaches are possible and common practice.
