[CDO] CDOResource obtaining the connection aware URI [message #1222039] Thu, 19 December 2013 09:51 Go to next message

Hi,


I now obtain CDO resources using connection aware URI's and a
ViewProvider. This is really cool, as it abstracts away the CDO
plumbing, all is needed is the URI to work with CDO.

There are some aspects, I do not fully grasp yet.

1) I found out that a CDOResource obtained with a connection aware URI,
will store the URI as a canonical URI.

So a resource a obtained with:

cdo.net4j.tcp://localhost:2037/repo_source/a

when calling:

resource.getURI() will return cdo://repo_source/a

This is in away surprising, for example, how do I link it back to the
connection used to obtain the resource initally?

I just wonder what the underlying thought for this choice is ?


In my case the XYZViewProvider deals with both connection aware and
canonical URI's. However in the cannonical case the authority info is
missing (Host:port), so obtaining a TCPConnector is not possible with
only the canonical URI info.


2) Now I have a resource with an underlying CDOView/Transaction but how
do I close the underlying CDO stuff when disposing. I am thinking it
would be cool to have a CDOViewDisposer which could be registered as the
CDOViewProvider and act on resource.unload.

Any insights on this?


Thank You,
Christophe

Can you give an example of what you need this initialURI for?

The initialURI is stored in a private field of the CDOResource. If your use case is convincing we can expose it through API.

Please read the thread "[CDO] Closing transactions created in view provider" that started 9 days ago ;-)

Why do you want to register it with the CDOViewProvider? I think it would be a ResourceSet adapter.

Hi Eike, swift as usual :-)

I working on a test case for Edapt to 'evolve' a CDO resource. The
evolved resource is copied over to a 2nd CDO Repo. For this, I use conn.
URI's as I can specify the port, host etc...

The case first copies a regular XMI resource to CDO source. From this I
get a CDOResource, which I want to 'migrate' over, but I lose the conn.
URI along the way. This is no biggy, If I remember the initial conn.
URI, but it's a bit more effort.

No, I want to register it 'as' or 'in similar fashion'. A resource set
adapter could do something similar I guess.
