[CDO] best practice for 'getting' a resource [message #422972] Fri, 19 September 2008 17:30 Go to next message

I have a slightly unusual problem that I am having trouble solving.

I have a model that is persisted with CDO. When I create an empty
database I call transaction.createResource() to create the resource...
When I subsequently access an existing resource I call
transaction.getResource() to get the resource... No problems except that
I need to provide the user with the ability to drop the database, create
a new one and the create the resource from scratch. I have not been able
to consistently 'get' the resource when I don't know whether the
resource has previously been created or not. That is I want to be able
to return a resource whether I need to create or just get the resource.

What is the suggested best practice here, for 'providing' a CDO backed
resource.?

Thanks,
Mark.

Hi Mark,

I think these two methods are the key:

- org.eclipse.emf.cdo.CDOView.hasResource(String)
- org.eclipse.emf.cdo.CDOTransaction.getOrCreateResource(Strin g)

They were added through:

217236: Provide a way to query if a specific resource (path) exists
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=217236

Cheers
/Eike

Beautiful Eike.

I guess I need to start reading release notes and the javadoc.

It just gets BETTER and BETTER..

Thanks,
Mark.

Eike,

I am not using getOrCreateResource() but I have a problem that only the
first session seems to work. If I create a new resource, then add an
object and save and exit, then run again I seem to get a resource but
the call to resource.getContents() always fails. If I drop the database
I can then create and access the resource, but never again.

I have also tried with the EnhancedEditor and the CDO launcher. If I
ONLY use the editor everything works fine, even subsequent access.

Mark.

When you say it fails, what does that mean ?
Did you have an exception, stack trace, getContents is empty ?

Also which version of CDO are you using ?

The best would be to provide a testcase! :-)

Are you using Derby or Teneo as your database ?

Simon,

I am sorry for the false alarm. I honestly don't know what I did, but
when I went to reproduce for you...it all works.

I guess I should go home..

Sorry again,
Mark.
