I use Anthem for my .NET AJAX library (very very easy to use with both ASP.Net 1.1 and 2.0):
http://www.anthemdotnet.com I don't think your problem is with your AJAX library. If you are only updating a property on your Location object then just send back the Location object to the database to be updated. If you're looking for something to determine what parts of a graph changed, you might want to look into NHibernate/ActiveRecord: http://www.castleproject.org/index.php/ActiveRecord IBatisNet doesn't track object changes...that's up to the application. ----- Original Message ---- From: Brian Kierstead <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: user-cs@ibatis.apache.org Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 1:38:16 PM Subject: ATLAS/AJAX with iBatis Hi everyone, Is anyone using iBatis with ATLAS or other AJAX technologies? In our current project, under .Net 2.0, I'm using ATLAS on the front-end to do in-place editing. I'm using an architecture similar to that of the NPetShop application - Web, Presentation, Service and Persistence, plus a Domain. I've also broken my pages down into user controls which are passed domain objects to show/return. When a change is made to a field, it raises an event which then bubbles up (maybe through a couple of user controls) to the parent page. The parent page contains the main object, which is then saved to the database. For example, I have a Drive which contains an Appointment which contains a Location. When I change the street address it of the Location, it raises an event in Location, which raises an event in Appointment, which raises and event in Drive. Drive then persists itself to the database via the other layers. The problem is that while I'm saving the entire Drive object (which also contains other objects, not just those I mentioned) to the database only 1 field has changed. So every time a user updates a field, I save a lot of data that hasn't changed. I don't want persistence details in my front-end, so I don't want the changed field to know which database field it corresponds to. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions about what to do? Thanks, Brian
