Hi Chuck,

I thought that we _always_ need to lock the EOObjectStoreCoordinator and EODatabaseContext even if we have already locked the EOEditingContext because other EOEditingContext's could be accessing the them at the same time on a different Thread. Isn't this correct or is this a special exception to the rule?

You need to lock it if you are going to call methods on it. There are probably some safe methods, but I'd rather lock. In your code above, you do need to lock the context around the snapshotForGlobalID call.
I thought so.

:-)


Do you think i need to add locking the EODatabaseContext if i have already locked the EOObjectStoreCoordinator? (I noticed in EODatabaseContextAdditions that you don't)

No. Locking the EOObjectStoreCoordinator locks everything below it (i.e. EODatabaseContext, EODatabase).



On a side note, I noticed you (or Pierre; i'm not sure who wrote that method) are doing the same thing as i am doing without locking either EOObjectStoreCoordinator or EODatabaseContext in com.webobjects.eoaccess.utilities.Utilities.faultForSupposedPrimaryKey Value().


Where is that method from?  I don't see it.
