I am quite new o CDO, so I might have overlooked the obvious.
I have a reasonably complex model I'm building (currently 20 classes, but far from being complete).
I did some testing filling one of the lists (and only one) attached to the root element. I was able to read and write to the model with a simple program.
Problem arrived when I added one single EAttribute to the class: I expected to be able to read back the class and find the "new" element null, but that was not the case. trying to get the EList containing my class resulted in an EOF error with the server.
To cure this I had to stop the server, delete the database and reconstruct everything from scratch.
Is this an expected behavior?
Right now it is NOT a problem, but if I get to production and later, for any reason I need to modify the model losing the database won't be an option.
What is the Right Way to do this?
Relevant fragment of the model is:
public interface StudioM extends CDOObject {
...
/**
* @return the value of the '<em>Elenco Comuni</em>' containment reference list.
* @see studiom.StudiomPackage#getStudioM_ElencoComuni()
* @model containment="true"
* @generated
*/
EList<Comune> getElencoComuni();
...
} // StudioM
public interface Comune extends CDOObject {
/**
* @model required="true"
* @generated
*/
String getNome();
/**
* @generated
*/
void setNome(String value);
/**
* @model required="true"
* @generated
*/
String getProvincia(); <----- this is the added field
/**
* @generated
*/
void setProvincia(String value);<----- generated with above
/**
* @model required="true"
* @generated
*/
String getCodice();
/**
* @generated
*/
void setCodice(String value);
/**
* @model required="true"
* @generated
*/
String getCAP();
/**
* @generated
*/
void setCAP(String value);
/**
* @model required="true"
* @generated
*/
String getPrefisso();
/**
* @generated
*/
void setPrefisso(String value);
} // Comune
Test program is very simple:
public class FillComuni {
public static final String REPO_NAME = "repo1";
public static final String RESOURCE_NAME = "/StudioMedico";
public static void main(String[] args) {
Net4jUtil.prepareContainer(IPluginContainer.INSTANCE);
TCPUtil.prepareContainer(IPluginContainer.INSTANCE);
final IConnector connector = (IConnector) IPluginContainer.INSTANCE
.getElement( //
"org.eclipse.net4j.connectors", // Product group
"tcp", // Type
"localhost"); // Description
CDONet4jSessionConfiguration config = CDONet4jUtil
.createNet4jSessionConfiguration();
config.setConnector(connector);
config.setRepositoryName(REPO_NAME);
CDOSession session = config.openNet4jSession();
session.addListener(new LifecycleEventAdapter() {
@Override
protected void onDeactivated(ILifecycle lifecycle) {
connector.close();
}
});
CDOTransaction transaction = session.openTransaction();
StudiomPackage.eINSTANCE.getClass();
Resource resource = transaction.getOrCreateResource(RESOURCE_NAME);
StudioM studio = null;
for (EObject eo : resource.getContents()) {
if (eo instanceof StudioM) {
studio = (StudioM) eo;
break;
}
}
if (studio == null) {
...
Once I added the EAttribute "provincia" I consistently got a
fatal error (EOF on socket) at "resource.getContents()".
Help, please!

Hi Mauro,
Automatic model evolution (or schema migration) is not yet supported in CDO:
256856: Support model evolution
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=256856
It would be a major effort and noone has stepped up, yet, to fund it ;-(
This forum already has several threads (search for, e.g., "evolution") that give hints how to cope (not Edapt :P ) with
this situation now.
Cheers

Hi Eike,
thanks a lot for Your answer.
If I understand correctly the current state this seems a show-stopper.
My model *will* evolve in the future, even if I can try to think ahead
now. I can limit changes to Column and Table addition (no change in the
already existing ones), but having to do explicit database migration
every time is a burden I don't think I can allow.
It looks like I will have to go back to straight JDBC :(
Regards
Mauro

If you search this forum you should find CDO server exports and imports that can really help with model evolution now.
It's nastier than a fully automatic mechanism but it's scalable and the XML export format is very simple.
