Title Object graph editing context and methods of use
Abstract The present invention comprises a novel system for
managing changes to a graph of data bearing objects. In one embodiment, an
object graph manager object referred to as an editing context is used to
identify changes made to data bearing enterprise objects and to notify other
interested objects when changes occur. As a result, data bearing objects need
not themselves contain code necessary for monitoring changes. In another
embodiment of the invention, the editing context is used to provide event-based
"undo" capabilities. In another embodiment of the invention, each enterprise
object has a primary key that is used to maintain the identification between an
enterprise object instance and a corresponding database row. In another
embodiment of the invention, multiple levels of editing contexts are used to
provide multiple isolated object graphs, each of which allows independent
manipulation of the underlying data bearing objects.
