It's a complicated function that steps through lots of relationships adds up values. It needs to be aware of other changes made in a given Editing Context, so I don't think I can do it via stateless. I guess telling it not to do the validation, if this were even possible, is not the right way to do it.

I will just try to keep the RMI from happening until everything is validated. Is there a way of manually triggering validation on an EO instead of waiting for the EC to do it while saving?

Dave,


Is there a reason that stateless RMI is out of the question? What is the remote method doing? When does it get triggered?


I believe that when using EO based RMI you simply can not avoid it committing changes, but maybe the functionality you need can be made differently...

Hi all,

While this is a Java Client application I'm working on, I think the question may be more of a "nested editing contexts" question.

With WO on the client side you can call methods that only exist on the server. This is useful for doing things that may require fetching large numbers of records from the database and processing them without copying them down to the client. This is much like how a normal web application works.

A WO Java Client application has a version of EOF that sits on the client, including client-side EOEditingContexts that are basically a snapshot of the corresponding EC on the server.

Now, the tricky part is when you invoke a remote method on the server, the first thing the client side EOF does is resync the client-side EC up to the server. This is basically the same thing as saving a normal EC, in that it triggers validation.

Does anyone have a way to disable the validation for a specific Remote Method Invocation (RMI), or and elegant way to not send the RMI unless the EO passes validation?

Right now I'm adding a EOGenerator method that simply checks for any properties that cannot be null, and if any are it returns "false" and I have all my RMI calls wrapped in an "if" statement to keep them from firing.

Thanks!

Dave
