Hi again,
ERXGenericRecord has permanentGlobalID() which returns a EOKeyGlobalID
that might give you the unique instance you want.
Is there something that prevents you from isolating the processing code
in its own method/class that is called by all threads and is guarded by
a lock of your choice?
Cheers, Bogdan

This response will not be very helpful, but this sounds like an X-Y problem. Could you elaborate more on what exactly you'd like to achieve?
To have a code into which "no two threads would get with same EO, not even if the EO is in different ECs".
Namely, to perform some processing based on particular EO (or its global ID or its PK), which processing needs to be either atomic, or covered by optimistic locks and rejectable. Since the latter would be rather difficult, and since the processing is not terribly time-consuming, and since the app is single-instance, I would opt for the atomicity, if I knew how.
(Well meantime I have found http://illegalargumentexception.blogspot.cz/2008/04/java-synchronizing-on-transient-id.html which probably would help with PK, just seems unnecessarily convoluted...)
Thanks,
OC

Hello there,
is there an object whose _instance_ (not just value like it seems to be with the global ID) would consistently represent one EO, regardless the EC in which the EO just happens to be?
I would need to lock on an EO, but I would need that it worked over all ECs, i.e.
===
synchronized (eo) {
// no two threads would get there with same EO
// _not even if the EO is in different ECs_
// which is why 'synchronized (eo)' does not work
}
===
Of course, I could make a thread-safe map, insert lock objects there and use globalids for index, but it seems to me rather convoluted -- not speaking of that I would not really know when to flush the data (unless I override EOs finalize, ick...)
Isn't there a better solution?
Thanks a lot,
OC
