pls excuse my struts-[OT] question, but I would appreciate to learn how you handle the situation of concurrent data update within your web applications.
think about the following situation: 1. user A fetches customer 007 and displays 007 within his browser 2. user B fetches customer 007 as well and displays 007 within his browser 3. user A updates customer 007 4. user B updates customer 007 as well... How do your systems react? a) the last update wins? b) trying to merge updates of user A and B? c) sending a message to user B that customer 007 was changed since loading, and that user B has to re-enter his update or d) do you have a locking mechanism which prevents this situation -> user B has no "update" button if customer 007 is already in somebody else's update screen or e) ??? thanks for sharing your solutions to this common problem rene --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
