| Do you like to model and generate your applications with the <em>Eclipse Modeling Framework</em> (EMF)? |
| That's fine because EMF is really great at generating model based runtimes, user interfaces and XML serialization! |
| <p> |
| |
| But what if: |
| <p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>you require more enterprise-like model persistence than XML serialization? |
| <li>your application has to be available for multiple users at the same time? |
| <li>your model resources are too huge to fit into XML files? |
| <li>you need object grained locking and transactions that span multiple resources? |
| <li>your users appreciate to always look at the latest state of the central model? |
| <li>they could simply switch back their view of the model to historical states? |
| </ul> |
| |
| The CDO model repository and distributed shared model for EMF |
| delivers solutions to the afore mentioned challenges and more. |
| CDO is a component of the Modeling project for many years now |
| and the latest generation has a completely new design and a |
| whole bunch of cool new features. |
| <p> |
| |
| This long talk starts with guided examples for the main usage areas: |
| <p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Setting up a CDO model repository server |
| <li>Generating a model for native usage with CDO |
| <li>Using a distributed shared model at client-side |
| </ul> |
| |
| The examples are followed by an overview of some of the optimizations |
| possible to tweak performance and footprint: |
| <p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Caching at client and at server side |
| <li>Partial collection loading |
| <li>Intelligent prefetching |
| </ul> |
| |
| |
| A preview of the upcoming CDO 2.0 features rounds up this talk. |
| <p> |
| |
| Although not strictly necessary for the understanding of this talk we recommend |
| to attend the preceding talk with a high-level introduction, too: |
