Re: Nested Editing Contexts

When you set a relationship from one object to another:

someEmployee.setEmployee( someDepartment)
or
someEmployee.addObjectToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey( someDepartment, "department")



Both objects must be in the same editing context. That is, someEmployee.editingContext() == someDepartment.editingContext().


If you don't do this, you will get the very uninformative error you see below, at the point of saveChanges(). At the point you set the relationship, you won't get the exception, but rather at the point of saveChanges().

This is definitely one of the most often and most painful mistakes made when working with multiple editing contexts. To move an object from one EC to another, for the purpose of using it in a relationship, use EOUtilities.localInstanceOfObject.

I have changed the application I am currently working on to use nested
editing contexts based on some earlier discussion that it might be a
better/safer way of doing things.  A very simple description of what I
have is like the following:

ec = session().defaultEditingContext();
nestedEc = new EOEditingContext(ec);

EOEnterpriseObject eo = new EOEnterpriseObject();
nestedEc.insertObject(eo);

user updates eo and clicks save

nestedEc.saveChanges();
ec.saveChanges();

When ec.saveChanges() is called I get the error "Cannot obtain globalId
for and object which is registered in an other than the
databaseContext's active editingContext,..."  I assume I am not
understanding some simple concept about how nested editing contexts
should work.  Could someone attempt to explain to me what I am doing
wrong.
