[CDO] Question about locking [message #1372049] Wed, 21 May 2014 17:03 Go to next message

Hi all,

I have an application which displays two different Graphiti diagrams in their respective editors. These diagrams are stored in seperate resources in CDO.
And a same element is displayed in both diagrams.
So, when I acquire lock to edit the element in one diagram, it is then locked and non-editable in the other diagram because each Graphiti editor uses its own CDO transaction.

In my use case, locking the element makes sense to prevent conflicts with other users running other instances of my application.
But, it should not "apply" between editors inside a same application when one owns the lock.

Locking at session level would solve my problem but - unless i'm wrong - is not possible.

Any idea on how to handle this situation ? Is there any CDO option / feature, I'm not yet aware of, that could be used ?

kind regards,

Laurent

Well... Actually, the problem is probably even more complicated if we consider that any element modification (e.g. its name) should be immediately reflected in the other diagram...

I would suggest sharing a transaction between editors in this case.

Hi Leonid,

Thanks for your answer. A shared transaction seems indeed to be the best solution for now.
But there's one drawback. Saving an editor then causes the others opened and dirty ones to be saved as well...

It would be nice to be able to save only the selected one. But this would imply to commit only part of the shared transaction.

In other words, the editor content (mainly the Graphiti diagram) is stored in a dedicated CDO resource. Saving the editor leads to a resource.save.
And, after looking at CDOResourceImpl code, the save method actually gets a reference to the resource transaction (the shared one) and calls commit.

So my question is now : Is it possible to override the save method and may be create a temporary "inner" transaction to commit only the resource content ?
But this, I guess, will lead me back to lock issues between the shared transaction and the inner one...

Regards,

Laurent

Laurent,

there is a method CDOTransaction.setCommittables, after this call transaction will only commit changes in a given set of objects. Even more, it will validate that you commit is not dependent on an out-of-commit-scope objects, and will fail otherwise.

Hi Leonid,

Thanks for the tip ! I try to use setCommittables but then, saving my diagram (resource) fails with the following error message :
!ENTRY org.eclipse.graphiti.ui 0 0 2014-05-26 12:22:57.807
!MESSAGE The following resources could not be saved:
URI: cdo://EntrepriseArchitectureRepository/Application_app1_1400270224492, cause: 
org.eclipse.net4j.util.transaction.TransactionException: org.eclipse.emf.cdo.util.CommitException: org.eclipse.net4j.util.transaction.TransactionException: org.eclipse.emf.cdo.util.CommitIntegrityException: The resource of new object CommitInfo@oid1[NEW] needs to be included in the commit but isn't
	at org.eclipse.emf.cdo.eresource.impl.CDOResourceImpl.save(CDOResourceImpl.java:1236)


I create a CommitInfo element before the saving to store additionnal information (user Id, time stamp and an associated comment).

This element is added to the resource to be saved :
TransactionalEditingDomain ted = editor.getEditingDomain();
CDOResource r = editor.getDiagramTypeProvider().getDiagram().cdoResource();
ted.getCommandStack().execute(new AddCommand(ted, r.getContents(), commitInfo));


Then, for the saving, I make copy of the whole resource content (including the new element) :
TreeIterator<EObject> resourceWholeContent = diagramBehavior.getDiagramTypeProvider().getDiagram().cdoResource().getAllContents();
HashSet<EObject> commitables = new HashSet<EObject>();
while (resourceWholeContent.hasNext())
	commitables.add(resourceWholeContent.next());

transaction.setCommittables(commitables);
Set<Resource> res = super.save(editingDomain, saveOptions, monitor);


Any idea why the 'NEW' object is apparently not considered in the same resource as the rest ?

Regards,

Laurent

It looks like you forgot to include resource itself in commitables list.

I.e. you should add all the objects you want to save + their corresponding resources, as CDOResource is EObject itself.

Hope this helps!

Oups ! I should have found this one by myself...
It now works great.
Many thanks for your help !
