[news.eclipse.tools.emf] Re: [CDO] Passive updates

[Anders Forsell <aforsell1971@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am not sure I fully understand the concept of passive updates.

If a client starts modifying a CDO resource I understand that the 
objects are loaded on demand as they are needed. If another client 
modifies the same resource and commits a transaction will the client 
receive updates to its cached objects? Are these modifications done on a 
separate thread and how are conflicting changes handled?

When not using passive updates what happens during a session refresh? 
(especially when there are modifications that have not been committed yet).

Thanks,
