Ok, so I've updated and verified patch 911567, so that it can be applied
to release 0.9. You'll find it at:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=3Ddetail&aid=3D911567&grou=
p_id=3D58935&atid=3D489337
With this patch, every changes made in an EC is propagated to other ECs
after these changes have been successfully committed into the database.
The process is the following:
- the EC that has committed changes to the db broadcasts the changes to
the other ECs,
Ex: object 'Person' p1 has been saved with a new value for p1.nickname
- every EC receiving the notification examines the changes.
- for every updated object, it merges the changes:
1. determine the uncommitted changes locally made to that object
(Ex.: same object 'Person' p1.age has a new value)
2. apply the committed changes
(Ex.: p1.nickname is updated)
3. make sure that local uncommitted changes are re-applied, if
necessary
(Ex.: p1.age should have the same value as in step 1.,
whatever changes were committed to the db)
Please note that deleted objects are not yet handled.
You can also have a look at the supplied unittests for more details.
