Exactly. You can use the ability to update the values of an EO and then later save them to the database to give the user a way to view any pending changes before it's actually saved to the db, or allow them to make multiple changes and save it all at once. But most of the time you'll want to make that distinction a little more user friendly, as in the case of the shopping cart. If you really want them to save something right away, then make the saveChanges part of your action method.

Saving changes on an editing context is something that you usually do as a developer in some place that makes sense for your application.

perhaps that's why i'm a little confused. for those not familiar with the sample application I'm referring to, it simply builds a list of authors and books associated with the authors. There is an "update" button to update changes you've made to an entry, but the example also has an explicit "save" button that calls EditingContext.saveChanges(). unless the "save" button is pressed after the "update" button is pressed, the changes are not committed. so i take it having an explicit "save" button like this is not normally practiced?... rather is done behind the scenes at a logic point in the code?

thanks,
will
