Sorry. I didn't see the part on multicasting. After looking at that
article, I suppose you could try to share an actual datacontext, but
that's probably not realistic since few apps have only one
datacontext.
It'll be a bit more complicated, but you should be able to use a
custom EventBridge.
Here's how I set up an loopback event bridge under 1.1.x. Things
might have changed a little bit, so I can't say for certain how
helpful this would be. There's not much documentation, but it's
pretty straight-forward.
You'd want to extend it to transport the event somehow, perhaps by
queuing up an event in the shared session context, and then reading
the shared session context queue at the start of every request loop.
And you'll want to change it to ignore events sent by itself but not
by the other app.
In cayenne.xml:
<domain name="MyApp">
<property name="cayenne.DataRowStore.remote.notify" value="true"/>
<property name="cayenne.DataRowStore.EventBridge.factory"
value="com.xyz.cayenne.LocalEventBridgeFactory"/>
