Hello,

Is it possible to lock an object / project against other's modifications? I didn't find anything about this functionality.
If it is not implemented yet, do you have any idea how to do it?

Cheers,

Laurent

Hi Laurent,

no it is currently not possible to do this since it was not yet
implemented.
To implement it, one could use properties on the project to define which
objects are locked. A question in terms of requirements is how to
distribute the locks to offline clients? It could happen that a lock is
established while a client has already checked out a project. Should the
server in this case reject a commit on the locked contents in the project?

Cheers,
Maximilian

In my mind, it was like this, I don't see any other option but reject the user's
commit.
There are risks of work losses but the only other solution I see now is to send a
message from the server to every other clients to "say" them what objects are locked
when an user lock them... solution which doesn't match the EMF Store philosophy, and
doesn't work with offline clients.

Cheers,

Laurent

Seems reasonable to me. Additionally partial commits could be supported
to allow users to commit all changes but changes to the locked objects.
