The main reason I looked at it is I was starting to write a lot of
helper methods in the DataObject subclasses which would create their
own DataContext and do a search and return a result. Of course, these
live in their own DataContext and I didn't want to have localObject()
calls to set relationships/etc, so I thought putting them in a shared
DataContext would simplify that sharing process. The easiest thing
for me might be to turn off the "Use Shared Cache" in CM. This will
be a low-volume application, but it is important to always check the
DB for fresh data in case the configuration changes.
