How could I find out that CDO session on *server* is busy?
Idea is that I am closing sessions on server side (let say administrator can kill undesired sessions), however I don't want to
kill a session which is reading something from the client side - just because to avoid possible data corruption on server.

Depends on how you define "busy".

The Session class extends Lifecycle, so you can always ask
LifecycleUtil.isActive(session) or register an IListener with it. But:
The SessionManager automatically detects deactivated sessions and
removes them.

What means "undesired"? Why don't you prevent undesired sessions from
the beginning? Or can they *become* undesired?

I don't think it's possible to corrupt data on the server. Have you
tried it?

Eike,

busy = no commit is currently running from the client to server

undesired = session that is supposed to be closed immediately (session management)

Actually, I have few reports (I suppose it was working with derby DB), that after similar session closing, model cannot longer
be used - it gives me reason to believe in data corruption. Why do you think that session closing somewhere in the middle of
commit cannot break model?

I see.

I still don't really understand this explanation, but I think I doesn't
matter that much ;-)

The backend (your Derby DB) should be protected by backend transactions.
But I just learned that DDL (create table, etc...) is often not part of
normal transactions. Surprisingly Derby is the only known exception
(known to us). Maybe that's why Derby is so unbelievably slow. It would
be great if you can report in more detail what happens after such
session deactivation in the middle of a CDO transaction. Maybe we can do
better cleanup for the DDL parts of the commit...

Apart from the backend integrity we need to think about the integrity of
the CDO repository infra structure (caches, registries, etc...). These
*should* be protected against commit failure. But we're only human. So,
if you can report concrete problems, ideally with a test case, we would
like to address them.

Cheers

Egidijus,

I think we can build a commit gauge into the session protocol.
If you want that, please file an enhancement request against HEAD.

Cheers

Eike,

I think what he means is that he wants a way to determine if it is safe
to shut down the server (e.g., for maintenance).

A definition on store level of that would be that no writer is currently
checked out (don't care about readers as they do only reading).

So maybe the general request here is for a safe way to shut down the
server - e.g. put it into a mode where it does not accept any more
sessions and waits until all session which started writing have finished
doing so ...

Egidijus, is that what you mean?

Cheers,
Stefan

Guys,

I thought about maintaining an RWLock in the server side session:

"R" refers to the execution of a CDO commit operation.
"W" refers to explicit maintenance of that session, i.e. protection
against multiple concurrent commits.

How about that?

Cheers

Something close to this - just at current time I have addressed problem to the single session closing (it is not about whole
server shutdown).
In real, I need to answer question - "is it save (no commit is present) to close particular *server* session?". Or event it
cold be better in this case, that CDO server on session closing shall be responsible to wait while session writing ends and
only then terminate session.
