Task Synchronization [message #40266]

Hi,

using Mylyn for my tasks in a DB-based application, I wrote my own
connector and TaskEditor for it following the instructions on Mylyn
Integrator Reference and looking at TracConnector. I tried to avoid
TaskData (and -Handler) because I always have DB-connection open.

Now I'm stuck with the following problems (I will describe only briefly
the cirumstances in order to keep it short):

1) Calling TaskList.notifyTaskChanged(), some attribute changes in
TaskEditor are not reflected in TaskList (Summary is, Priority-! is not).
? How can I asure/force these changes to be shown in TaskList, do I have
to set some dirty-attribute?

2) When changing task attributes in TaskListView with context menue (e.g.
Schedule->...) these changes are kept local but not forwarded/stored into
Database. When opening TaskEditor, task is read from DB again and changes
get lost.
? Is Synchronization only one-way DB->local?
Do I have to store these changes manually?
Where do I best hook my code (e.g. as ChangeListener in TaskList?)
Or do I get this automatically if I implement TaskDataHandler and use
TaskData?

btw: updateOfflineState (AbstractRepositoryConnector) mentioned in
Mylyn_Integrator_Reference section Implementing core extension points
doesn't exist (anymore).

I would be very thankful for any Tipp that improves my understanding of
Mylyn and helps me solving these issues.
