hi marc,
if both threads are notified of the update, there should be no need of the optimistic locking. you may use javas synchronization instead.
but i am somewhat surprised that two different data-contexts are notified of a change of one object.
kind regards,
peter

Betreff: RE: Optimistic locking
Thank you for your reply.
For information, I'm working on a JSF web application.
I was doing test using two different browsers (Firefox + IE) in order to
avoid session management problem.
Your document describes the optimistic locking as a mechanism that
detects update done using an external application (SQL+, etc). For that
situation, regarding the Cayenne log file, I can tell you it is ok, it
works.
My concern was the concurrency management in the same Cayenne
application (for example, 2 users using the same application and
modifying the same DataObject !).
In that situation, Cayenne does not raise error... Is it normal ?
Should I use the "snapshot version" data to check if something has
changed since the beginning of the user modification ?
Thank you
Marc

Subject: Re: Optimistic locking
In a lot of web applications (JSP, Struts, Tapestry, ...) the session is
usually stored as a cookie in the browser, so opening a new browser
window
and re-connecting to the application won't give you a new session and
therefore you'd be connected to the original session (and DataContext --
I'm
assuming you are storing the DC in the session) with the updated values.
Try your test using different concurrent browsers, such as Firefox and
IE/Safari (for example) and see if you get the same results. I use
optimistic locking on pretty much everything and haven't noticed a
problem.
I wrote this a long time ago, too, which may or may not help:
http://cwiki.apache.org/CAY/optimistic-locking-explained.html
I'll be out-of-touch for most of the rest of the day, but if you still
have
problems, perhaps someone else on the list can help.
Thanks,
