Access to optimistic lock revision number

We have an existing schema that includes a REVISION column. The current JDBC
code base increments the revision number each time an object is updated.
Ideally I would like to use this same field for Kodo's optimistic locking
mechanism and let Kodo manage the field. The problem is that we need
(read-only) access to the revision value for other purposes. Is there a way
to get this value? I'm okay with using a Kodo-specific API.
Thanks,
Tom

Sadly, the mechanism for doing this isn't very well-documented, so here
goes:
import com.solarmetric.kodo.runtime.*;
PersistenceManagerImpl pm = (PersistenceManagerImpl) pman;
StateManagerImpl sm = pm.getState (persistentObject);
Object version = sm.getVersion ();
This object is a Number when used with our JDBC back-end.

  • Optimistic Locking fails when version field is part of a Aggregate

    I'm trying to persist a Mapped Object using 9.0.3 Toplink.
    The object uses optimistic locking while the Timestamp versioning field is part of an Aggreate Descriptor. This works well in the Workbench (does not complain).
    Unfortunally it does not work whenever I use the UnitOfWork to register and commit the chances.
    Sample code:
    Object original;
    UnitOfWork unitOfWork = ...          
    Object clone =   unitOfWork.registerExistingObject(original);
    clone.setBarcode("bliblalbu");
    unitOfWork.commit();This throws an nasty OptimisticLockException, complaining about a missing versioning field:

    Sorry guys. My debugger fooled me. The locking field wasn't initialized in the database. This caused the problem which is fixed now.
    Thx anyway.

  • High concurrency optimistic locking

    Hi there,
    We have an EJB method that roughly does the following; we have a number of buckets that may or may not be full. If one or more are not full we want it to find the one with the most space available and add the item there. Our main problem here is that this method can be called upwards of 1000 times per second and we're now looking for an efficient way to solve the concurrency issue of two different calls both thinking bucket X has space left even though one of the two calls will fill it up :
    THREAD 1 : findEmptyBucket() returns BUCKET1 (1 SPOT LEFT)
    THREAD 2 : findEmptyBucket() returns BUCKET1 (1 SPOT LEFT)
    THREAD 1 : addItemToBucket(BUCKET1) <- FULL NOW
    THREAD 2 : addItemToBucket(BUCKET1) <- WRONG
    Since only optimistic locking is available in the spec for some reason I think the "EJB3" approach is basically (pseudoish) :
    while(!succeeded) {  
        try {  
            Bucket b = findEmptyBucket(...); // Will throw OptimisticLockException?  
            addItemToBucket(b, item);  
            succeeded = true;  
        catch(OptimisticLockException e) {}  
    } This seems horribly inefficient for a call that is almost guaranteed to require dozens of retries during peak hours. Is there any way to optimize this in such a way that we don't have to use optimistic locking? We're trying to solve this without using vendor specific solutions but EJB3 seems to lack the necessary functionality. Suggestions definitely welcome, evne if they are "that's the only way to do it" ;)
    Thanks!

    I think the OptimisticLockingException is thrown after-the-fact. So, if the addItemToBucket() method does a commit (flush), it will generate the exception rather than the find method. Otherwise, if there is no explicit commit call, the exception will be thrown when the EJB method that holds the while loop returns.
    If performance is critical, maybe a Stateful SessionBean with a Stateless Facade would work better. Create a Stateless SessionBean with an addItem() method and a reference to a single stateful bean. The implementation of the stateful session bean would be something like the following standalone program. The stateful bean would have an addItem() method too, but would keep track of a pool of resources internally.
    class ItemBucket { Item i; }
    class Item { String data; }
    class NoBucketsAvailableException extends Exception {}
    public class bucket {
        final static int POOL_SIZE = 4;
        ItemBucket[] bucketPool = new ItemBucket[POOL_SIZE];
        Object[] bucketLocks = new Object[POOL_SIZE];
        void initBucketPool() {
         for(int i=0; i<POOL_SIZE; i++)  {
             bucketPool[i] = new ItemBucket();
             bucketLocks[i] = new Object();
        void addItemToEmptyBucket(Item _i) throws NoBucketsAvailableException {
         int i=0;
         for(; i<POOL_SIZE; i++) {
             if( bucketPool.i == null ) { // possible empty bucket
              synchronized(bucketLocks[i]) {
              if( bucketPool[i].i == null ) {  // double checked locking
                   bucketPool[i].i = _i;
         if( i >= POOL_SIZE) { throw new NoBucketsAvailableException(); }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
         bucket app = new bucket();
         app.initBucketPool();
         Item item = new Item();
         item.data = "test";
         try {
         app.addItemToEmptyBucket(item);
         catch(NoBucketsAvailableException exc) {}

  • Locked Personnel number in ESS

    We have an issue where occassional employees accessing CATS receive the Personnel Number is locked error, but there is no locked record entry in SM12 or program HFIUCPL0.
    For a couple of users in-particular this has been ongoing for over a month!
    I am now looking at switching off Work Protect mode, but need to restrict it to the individual and not across the company; we have the Personalization link turned off in ESS itself, so the user can't update it themselves. Is there a way to maintain it on their behalf through ECC (I have been through SU01 and can't find a personalization setting or parameter that refers to it, but may be missing something)
    Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Optimistic locking and HTML DB checksum calculation

    I create a form for fetching and updating row from a database table. I use Automated Row Fetch for fetching row. But for updating row I must use a procedure from a package, not Automatic Row Processing (DML).
    And my question is: how I can implement optimistic locking in this way?
    Automated Row Fetch already calculated checksum and stored it in p_md5_checksum hidden field, can I get calculated value of checksum from p_md5_checksum?
    How I can calculate checksum by myself for compare with value from p_md5_checksum?
    What algorithm uses HTML DB for calculate checksum in Automated Row Fetch and Automatic Row Processing (DML) components?

    I have read this topic already. It's recommended to build own functionality for calculate checksum, but Automated Row Fetch already calculated checksum and stored it in p_md5_checksum hidden field.
    I also created my own function, for example for table dept:
    create or replace function BUILD_DEPT_MD5 (
    P_DEPTNO in number,
    P_DNAME in varchar2 default null,
    P_LOC in varchar2 default null,
    P_COL_SEP in varchar2 default '|') return varchar2 is
    begin
    return utl_raw.cast_to_raw(dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.md5(input_string => P_DEPTNO || P_COL_SEP || P_DNAME || P_COL_SEP || P_LOC));
    end BUILD_DEPT_MD5;
    but checksum values what calculated with this function is not equal with checksum value calculated by Automated Row Fetch.
    I shall specify:
    I need to use Automated Row Fetch for get row from table.
    I can not use Automatic Row Processing (DML) for update row, I need use PL/SQL procedure for this.
    I want implement optimistic locking and I want use for this a checksum value, what already calculated by Automated Row Fetch. I need to know how I can get this checksum value and I need to know algorithm, which Automated Row Fetch uses for checksum calculation.

  • Optimistic Lock with Parent and Child relationships

    Hi,
    I just have a question regarding optimistic locking. We have a scenario
    where a parent object has many child objects. Both the parent and the
    child objects have a jdolockx column in the database/jdo file.
    It appears that whenever you add a new child to the parent the parent's
    optimistic lock counter is also updated.
    eg
    parent.getChildren().add(child);
    child.setParent(parent);
    Why does this occur? There is no change made to the database table for
    the parent, except for the jdolockx column. Is there something that I can
    do to stop the lock count from incrementing when I child is added?
    We have a scenario where we have many threads of execution wishing to add
    children to a single parent. The parent itself isnt modified but this
    operation fails due to the parent lock counter being incremented.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks
    Luke

    There is state image indicator in Kodo 3 which has more locking options
    beyond a simple number:
    http://solarmetric.com/Software/Documentation/3.0.1/docs/ref_guide_mapping_versionind.html#state-image
    In addition, you can plug your own version indicator.
    Our default optimistic locking avoids the problem of users having no
    idea what is -actually- in the collection/set at any given time.
    Inconsistencies can occur at the datastore level (user 1 adds
    object a to collection, user 2 removes a, user 1 adds object b... which
    should actually be in the DB? {a,b} or or {a}? This is one of the
    many ways in which not tracking changes to a collection/set can be
    hazardous).
    On locking exceptions, errors could be handled in some appropriate
    function (i.e. refresh, re-apply changes if applicable/safe,
    and commit).

  • 10g Locks Up when selecting database field for optimistic locking

    As the subject says, when I attempt to select the database field for optimistic locking, JDeveloper locks up and I have to kill it with the task manager.

  • Query using Optimistic Locking

    Hello all ,
    "With optimistic locking, a resource is not actually locked when it is first is accessed by a transaction."
    Is optimistic locking used for banking applications ??
    Please share your ideas , share your ideas.Thanks in advance.

    Can optimistic locking be used for banking applications? Sure. Is it always appropriate for every possible banking related application? No.
    You'll need to be a lot more specific about your application's requirements before we can say anything with much specificity. In general, banking or non-banking, OLTP applications ought to be using optimistic locking and any application that uses pessimistic locking needs to be careful not to hold locks across user interaction events (i.e. don't allow a user to lock a row and then head out to lunch without releasing the lock).

  • VTP revision number and VLAN database updates

    Hi - Theoretically, is the following possible ?
    We have an established network on VTP domain say - CORP where we have a core switch performing the VLAN/VTP updates.
    Someone plugs in a rogue switch to the network - say configured for a different VTP domain TEST, or maybe just a default undefined VTP domain. If the VTP Revision number of the rogue switch is higher than the Core Switch(CORP) - can the rogue switch wipe out the VLANs on CORP ?
    My understanding from VTP is that the server and client need to be on the same domain for updates to occur flowing from the Server to the Client. But, also read somewhere that VTP revision is more something that needs to be a watch out for.
    In question would be a CAT 6506 being the Server, and the roque being any switch - even a Cisco 2940 which we might typically user for conference rooms.
    pls advise
    thanks in advance

    A switch if not configured for any vtp domain, defaulting to null, when plugged into a life network, it will join the domain that it learns about via vtp.
    Also, a switch in vtp client mode, eventhough is not possible to configure vlan info on it, but will still propagate it's vlan d/b info via vtp. Therefore, if a client has a higher revision number then the one in the life network, therefore it will still wipe out the current VLANs in the life network replacing it with whatever that it has in it's own database.
    There are 3 ways to avoid this:
    1. Configure vtp mode of switch fr client to transparent, then switch it back to client mode. This will reset the vtp rev. back to 0.
    2. Configure it to a different vtp domain, then switch it back. This will also reset the vtp rev. back to 0.

  • How to find revision number on my macbook ?

    How to find revision number on my macbook ?

    Wrong question, as there has been no formal revision number issued by Apple. What you may have seen on some postings about revision C, D, etc. is probably no more than rumor.
    You can get some information about the place and date of production of your computer by selecting the "Blue Apple" in your menu bar, then selecting About this Mac. Press More, then look at your serial number.
    My serial number is W8612xxxxx..
    "W8" lists the production location in China.
    "612" means that my MBP was produced in the 12th week of 2006.
    One of the defects in early production runs was a noisy inverter for the LCD screen. It's likely that that was a parts problem that was remedied in progress of production. My "week 12" MBP has no problems at all.
    My MBP runs a bit hot, but within specs. For that matter, I found the TiBook it replaced was uncomfortably warm as a laptop. There's a simple remedy if you want work in laptop mode. Just put something -- a notebook, a rigid plastic sheet a few millimeters thick or the like -- under the MBP and you (and the computer) will be more comfortable.

  • Access of possibly undefined property number through a reference with static type...

    Hello everyone !
    I run into this problem today ... take a look on the code :
    import com.trick7.effects.TeraFire;
    for (var j:uint=0; j<10; j++) {
        var fire:TeraFire = new TeraFire();
        fire.x = j * 40 + 20;
        fire.y = 100;
        fire.number = j; //This line is causeing the problem
        addChild(fire);
        fire.buttonMode = true;
    TeraFire class creates fire particles. The compiler error is :
    Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 7
    1119: Access of possibly undefined property number through a reference with static type com.trick7.effects:TeraFire.
    Anyone can help me to find a solution to this problem.
    I can do that ".number" with a movieclip but not in this case. What can I do ?

    I borrowed that class from the internet.
    I made the changes you suggested: imported flash.Display.MovieClip and also made the class extend MovieClip.
    The error is still throwing in compiler errors. I am not really good enough to edit this class because there are some functions I don't still understand very good. This is the class below:

  • Toplink Optimistic Locking not working with Session Bean facade.

    I am working on Oracle JDeveloper v 10.1.2 and connecting to an Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit
    The application is based on J2EE architecture and the technology stack uses Struts for presentation/controller framework, Stateless Session EJBs as session facade for custom business services, Simple java classes for the business services, Toplink implementation of DAO layer, Domain objects are mapped to database tables using Toplink Workbench that ships with JDeveloper. The transaction is managed by the session bean and hence the toplink session is configured to use external transaction controller and a named datasource as follows.
    <session xsi:type="server-session">
    <name>DBSession</name>
    <server-platform xsi:type="oc4j-1012-platform"/>

    We intend to use Optimistic Locking based on Timestamp-version locking through an audit field "last_modification_date" of type java.sql.Timestamp. The corresponding database field is also of type Timestamp(6). We are not storing the version in cache.
    The problem we are facing is as follows.. we have an edit screen from where user can edit values for a domain object which are then persisted using Toplink...we expect Toplink to check the database record version (modification_date timestamp) before it applies the update. In DAO implementation, we register the object in a unitOfWork, then set the modified values, however we leave the modification_date (version field) unedited. Now when the application is running, on edit, an exception is thrown by the Session bean before ending the transaction.

    Note that the exception is thrown at the time when the session bean is about to commit the transaction. i.e. the DAO code did not throw any exception and was able to check the optimistic locking and submit the update transaction.
    I am not able to understand why is the the EJB throwing this weird error with Optimistic locking implementation. The application is working fine when the optimistic locking is disabled.
    I am facing another problem due to this problem... since the session bean throws this exception after exiting the bean implemented method, when trying to commit the transaction, I am not able to mark the session context to setRollbackOnly. Hence if I continue on to another transaction by navigating to another screen in the application, mysteriously the previous transaction gets committed!!... again... weird...

  • How to use Optimistic Locking in Toplink

    Hi!
    Iam using Toplink for O/R mapping, and for each table
    iam using one TimeStamp field, and i specified that
    field as Locking filed, by using the Loking option, and checked the TimeStampLocking option.
    Now my question is do i need to update the Timestamp filed
    each time if i create a new record and while modify an existing record.
    And also do i need to compare the Timestamp for the record which client as read previousley to the TimeStamp in the database for the record manullay lik
    suppose t1 is the timeStamp, which i got from the client,
    and t2 is the timestamp which i read from the Database.
    Now my question is, is it necessary to compare the timestamp.

    Once optimistic locking has been configured TopLink will manage the updating and comparing of the OptimisticLocking value. There is no requirement for you to manage this value.

  • Error in Update Process for optimistic locking

    Hello,
    I tried to create a tabular form according to this How-To:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/tabular_form.html
    which worked fine until I tried to implement the optimistic locking.
    I use the same update process:
    declare
    l_cks wwv_flow_global.vc_arr2;
    j pls_integer := 1;
    begin
    -- Get original MD5 checksum
    select wwv_flow_item.md5(job,mgr,hiredate,sal,comm,deptno) cks
    BULK COLLECT INTO
    l_cks
    from emp;
    -- Compare the original checksum, l_cks,
    -- with submitted checksum, htmldb_application.g_fcs.
    -- If they are different, raise an error.
    for i in 1..l_cks.count
    loop
    if htmldb_application.g_fcs(i) != l_cks(i) then
    rollback;
    raise_application_error(
              -20001,
         'Current version of data in database has changed '||
              'since user initiated update process.');
    return;
    end if;
    end loop;
    but as soon as I try to apply the changes in the update process I get an error message saying: PLS-00503: RETURN statement required for this return from function
    So, if i delete the row with the "return;" statement, I get no error anymore, but when I test the optimistic locking I get an error as soon as I try to update a row in the first place.
    What am I doing wrong?

    P.S. : I am using Apex 1.6

    Hi Ant, of course......here is the customized pl/sql block I use:
