Hi!
I was having a small discussion about ORB mapping frameworks, and
I found out something that I could not solve with WO, at least with
the knowledge I have.
My question is, how can I make sure that, when I'm reading several
objects from the DB, they are consistent with each other?
Imagine I have:
EOEditingContext context = new EOEditingContext();
SomeEOObject object1 = readObject1(context);
// comment
SomeEOObject object2 = readObject2(context);
NSLog.out.appendln(object1.someProperty());
NSLog.out.appendln(object2.someProperty());
context.dispose();
So, it's a read-only operation that displays values from data
stored. My question is, how can I make sure that object1 and object2
are consistent between each other? There could be some other
instance of the application modifying objects 1 and 2 right on my
"comment" line. So, I'm reading object1 BEFORE that operation, and
object2 AFTER that operation. Their values would not be consistent
between each other.
As I never commit (because there's no changes) I cannot use
optimistic locking to detect this inconsistence.
How do you solve this kind of problem? Locking the rows would not
work, because I may have a more complex example where I can know what
object2 is only after getting object1, so I would only lock object2
after fetching object1, and the problem would be the same.
