This is what I have figured out from reading the documentation, and testing:
The following code,
Node A = root.addNode("NODEA", "ATYPE");
A.checkout();
A.setProperty("PROP1", "some value");
A.save();
A.checkin();
creates a version for the node A, and currently the node is in a read-only
status.
Now if I were to execute the following code,
Node A = root.getNode("NODEA");
A.checkout();
A.setProperty("PROP1", "some other different value");
A.save();
// NOT DOING ANY CHECK-IN
I expected no new version to be created for node A. And yes, this happens
as expected.
But say, I execute this code now,
Node A = root.getNode("NODEA");
A.checkout();
System.out.println(A.getProperty("PROP1").getString());
I expected the value "some value" to be printed. This was because, I
thought the checkout that I do would mean that I get node A's latest
version. But what is printed is "some other different value".
I somehow found this a bit counter-intuitive. Can someone please clarify my
doubt?
Thanks,
