Hi,

I am glad you like it. Thanks to all folks who watched the presentation and showed interest.

The Object Transaction code is already in the repository. Projekt is org.eclipse.riena.objecttransaction.
We also have many many JUnit testcases for Object Transactions in org.eclipse.riena.tests.

However we are still in the process preparing to source drop for the UI pieces and hence we have no
working UI example for object transactions and JFace databinding.

Object Transaction (=OT) is however no magically thing but an API :-). There are multiple possible ways how
OT gets knowledge about changes in your business objects (manual code, Aspects etc.). OT does not use Working
Copies (as other approaches do), but we are tracking the changes as they are happening.

A good starting point is really the JUnit testcases.

If you have questions dont hesitate to ask.
