Forum : LiveCycle DS : Discussions about LiveCycle DataServices http://flugr.shared.prisma-hosting.com/ True, LCDS is not aware of database updates since it does not monitor the database all the time, if you look at the Java API with LCDS it will provide you with an update method you can call from the server when you want a client object to refresh, so when the database changes you should call the update method on LCDS, I don't know the exact method at the moment, but it's easy to find in the documentation.

There is a [i]Box[/i] with a collection of [i]Loan[/i]s. From another (non FSD) process, a specific loan is updated in the database. When the box is loaded within the Flex client, this loan still has the old value. See the following scenario: [list] [*]Retrieve Box: The Box and Loans are displayed [*]Update a property on one of the Loans in the database. [*]Retrieve the Box again. The BoxAssembler.getItem() returns the Box, including the updated Loans collection. This is OK. However, the Flex client "result" property from the BoxService contains the previously loaded value. [/list] We have the Box.as object declared with [code] [Managed] [RemoteClass(alias="foo.bar.vo.BoxVO")] public class Box { ... public var loans : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); ... } [/code] How do we get the updated Loans collection from assembler to client? Isn't FDS supposed to handle this? http://flugr.shared.prisma-hosting.com/messages.cfm?messageid=B3D49C4F-1676-3929-A9C27A509AD272C9&r=2 2008-09-30T15:16:07--02:00 FDS is not aware of database updates
