Hi all As long as I have been on this list I have never heard anybody discuss record locking. The scenario is very simple:
1. User A clicks an "edit" option to edit a record. 2. While user A is editing the record user B clicks the same "edit" option 3. Both users are now editing the same record (or so they think) 4. User A clicks "save" and the record is updated and displays the changes made by user A - user A is happy 5. User B clicks "save" and these changes overwirte the changes made by user A, however user B doesn't know this and the changes made by user B appear. Sometime later user A realises that the changes made have disappeared and gets angry and begins throwing large objects around the room and making lots of loudish gutteral noises in an attempt to disperse inner emotional anxiety. Well, you get the picture. Q. Does Struts assume that the developer will code in the appropriate record locks in the database? Q. Does anybody actually do this? Q. How? What type of record locking do you use? TIA mc FOCUS Computing - web design Mob: 0415 24 26 24 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.focus-computing.com.au -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
