Description Erwin Betschart CLA 2010-06-10 05:29:51 EDT 
Build Identifier: 3.0

CDO should provide an option which prevents (on the server) the removal of objects which are still referenced (incoming references).

Concurrent commits of two client can cause the local consistent model to become inconsistent on the server:
Object A references object B
Client 1: Add C which references B
Client 2: Delete A & B (commit should fail because B is still referenced by C)
(Assuming client did not yet receive the invalidation of the first commit)

Reproducible: Always

Doesn't this duplicate bug 315407 and bug 316421 ?

The way I see it, we just don't have a server-side check
preventing removal of reference targets. IMO such a check
(as I suppose Eike has implemented in his patch for bug 315407)
would solve all 3 issues...

Or are there subtle differences that I'm not thinking of?
Comment 2 Eike Stepper CLA 2010-06-19 02:05:23 EDT 
The boolean configuration property of the server to control this behaviour is IRepository.Props.ENSURE_REFERENTIAL_INTEGRITY = "ensureReferentialIntegrity". The same property is used to control the behaviour of bug 315407.
