Hello and thank you all for your replies.
Yes, you are correct Andrus, my intentions are to use an ordinary dataContext, and the reason is that my application must be able to work offline.
I looked through the code regarding JavaGroupBridge and it seems to me that it is a quite straight forwarard to
get two or more applications to talk to each other over a local network, and the different datacontext will be updated etc..
The more diffucult thing to implement will be to add some logic to commit the changes on the remote dataContexts to
their local databases.
In the perfect world I don't need to care about it, because the remote context will be updated, and next time someone commit the changes on their
datacontext the local database will update on a correct manner, but if a user refresh the data before it comes comitted I
will lose the changes to this datacontext.
Now to my question; where should any of you add this logic? One could make sure that the client application always commits changes before he does
anything. It does not feel like a good solution, though. Another approch would be to add another static datacontext for the application, which will commit after any event has been received through the JavaGroupBridge?
