Re: Get rid of warning in binding value e.g. @sum.totalCost

2010-05-20 Thread webobjects
It's just a hint for the component binding validator to tell it that even
though it can't validate that binding, that you _know_ it's correct.

As far as other hints, I'm really hoping for the eventual implementation
of //DoWhatIWantNotWhatICoded hint that will resolve 90% of my bugs.

Dave

 I browse through the preferences and thought i understand some and some
 need to try it out...  One i still could not figure out is where on earth
 is the magic word //VALID comes from :)  Next level of curiosity is -
 are there any more.  Thanks for d pointers.

   By the way, u probably know already, but you can edit wolips preferences
 to get rid of some/many of the warnings

You have forward slashes instead of backslashes. Try:
   
//VALID

Re: Invalidating Objects

2010-05-20 Thread Marc Guenther
Hi,

this sounds familiar. We have severe problems with vanishing snapshots, but 
only on one installation. Unfortunately, we found no way to reproduce this on 
our testing systems.

There was a thread about this a while ago, but no real solution:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Webobjects-dev/2010/Mar/msg00330.html

Otherwise, what you describe is exactly what we are seeing. We also use 
invalidate...(), the nulled out EO is never refetched, the only way to recover 
is to restart the app.

Well, if you would be able to reproduce this in a small defined scenario, that 
would be extremely helpful.

 Any ideas where to look or has anybody else had this problem and has any

Hi Andrew!

I've seen similar problems, but I don't think it was related to  
invalidating objects.  It appeared related to the use of nested  
editing contexts. There was a discussion about it around two months  
ago...


http://www.mail-archive.com/webobjects-dev@lists.apple.com/msg36101.html

Using a nested editing context anywhere?

Hello Ramsey  Marc

Thanks for getting back to me.

 I've seen similar problems...Using a nested editing context anywhere?

I _was_ until they seemed to causing some other problems so I have removed use 
of that now.  I don't think the nested ECs would have been used on the 
instances where the problem was manifesting itself though.

 Otherwise, what you describe is exactly what we are seeing. We also use 
 invalidate...(), the nulled out EO is never refetched, the only way to 
 recover is to restart the app.


What I have done is to use a lock across the work of handling R-R cycles and 
the change notification (the only place where the invalidate is actioned).  In 
this way, if the issue is one of concurrency with regular EC use then I 
should see this issue go away for human-facing instances which are doing any 
EC-work outside of the R-R cycles.  It's still a fair way off a production 
deploy, but I will let you know if this resolves the issue.

cheers.

in wonder's we take a dbc lock during the background queue processing, then do 
a refreshing fetch of the affected EO so that it updated the snapshots. you 
really don't want to ever do an .invalidate() because if you any EO's in an 
modified state, they'll be messed up.

Re: Invalidating Objects

2010-05-20 Thread Andrew Lindesay
Hello Mike;

I think I was _just_ doing fetches at one point, but I suspect that there was a 
change in 5.3 - 5.4 in that invalidate...() in 5.3 did not drop to-manys 
from caches in EOF and 5.4 seemed to.  In 5.3 fresh fetch with pre-pretches 
into to-manys did re-cache the to-many, but in 5.4 it did not seem to.  I 
obviously am unable to look and see what it is actually doing, but that is my 
observation and the only way I could get it to function for to-many's is to use 
invalidate... –– I presume that change notification in PW is functioning 
seamlessly under high load in 5.4 without invalidate and for to-many 
relationships?  Do you take out a DBC lock for the duration of the change 
notification process for all DBC's which are involved in the changes?  I guess 
I should go take a look...

cheers.

Re: Invalidating Objects

2010-05-20 Thread Chuck Hill

Does this have any bearing on your problem?

/**
 * Clears snapshot the relaationship of a given enterprise so it  
will be read again when next accessed.

 * @param eo enterprise object
 * @param relationshipName relationship name
 */
public static void  
clearSnapshotForRelationshipNamed(EOEnterpriseObject eo, String  
relationshipName) {

EOEditingContext ec = eo.editingContext();
EOModel model = EOUtilities.entityForObject(ec, eo).model();
EOGlobalID gid = ec.globalIDForObject(eo);
EODatabaseContext dbc =  
EODatabaseContext.registeredDatabaseContextForModel(model, ec);

EODatabase database = dbc.database();
 
ERXEOControlUtilities.clearSnapshotForRelationshipNamedInDatabase(eo,  
relationshipName, database);

}

That is what I use to re-fresh to-many relationships.  The only time I  
use invalidate is when I know that an EO with a snapshot has been  
deleted from the database.
