Is there a way to get the 'diff' of two CDO Audit views? Theoretically one
could use EMF compare, but that would require to transfer the whole model
to the client twice and with large models that is clearly undesirable.

There there a way to ask CDO for the changes in the model based on two
timestaps without using EMF compare?

Thanks in advance!

Lothar

No, a CDOView, audit or not, is just a partial cache on the overall
object graph.

Yes, but that's currently the only way I could imagine to do this.

For a given object you can access its CDORevision, ask its version or
compare it to other revisions of the same EClass (returns a
CDORevisionDelta). There's a static method in CDOUtil that makes this
easy: CDOUtil.getRevision(CDOObject object, int version) or so.

But on the server it should be relatively easy to query the changes that
have a timestamp greater than X1 and less or equal X2, right? So the only
missing piece would be CDO API to access that query.

So if I know that an object that I am interested in has changed then this
method allows me to get it's previous state with that helper method.
Does that work in any CDO view type (e.g. Transaction)?

Thanks!

You could use the Query API with a custom query handler for that purpose.

Yes ;-)
