Hi,

Is it possible to know if a Resource is being edited or modified by other users? Not read/write locked but being edited in a normal way, for instance via CDO Editor or others.

Thanks,
Marc

I can access to the list of remote sessions, but I think I can't inspect the list of views or transactions opened by these sessions...

resourceNode.cdoView().getSession().getRemoteSessionManager().getRemoteSessions()

Cheers,
Marc

No, the server and, hence, other clients are only notified about commits and lock changes, not all getter or setter
calls that happen in a local transaction.

You can either implement your own Net4j SignalProtocol (see examples) or use
CDORemoteSessionManager.sendMessage(CDORemoteSessionMessage, CDORemoteSession...). The CDORemoteSessionManager is
accessible via CDOSession.getRemoteSessionManager().

No, that's not possible. Neither could you determine complex information such as remote object dirty state.

You need to use sendMessage() to implement your own protocol. I.e., when something happens locally that other remote
sessions might be interested in you need to:

1) detect it (normally with an IListener) and

2) send it to the remote sessions (where the message can be handled appropriately),

Thanks Eike,

Finally I solved it using IListeners, and when a commit happens I do what I need.

The scenario is the following:
- User A has the resourceNode X opened, for instance, with the CDO Editor.
- User B tries to rename or delete the resourceNode X.

I wanted that User B receives an alert indicating there are users that has this resource opened, in order to prevent some errors. One solution is that A has opened the resourceNode in lock mode, so B could not rename it. Another solution is that B renames the resource, and then A receives a message alerting that the editor is going to be closed. Of course, all the non saved changes will be lost... I have implemented both of them.

Cheers,
Marc

+1

Why doesn't the receiving editor just handle the rename such that it can stay open?
