Re: statefulness, and multiple tabs

dont think a conversation scope will be of much help to you. wicket
does support it via jboss' cdi implementation, but i think you are
better off stashing all the changes into some dto and applying them
when the save button is pressed.

 in the database.  So far, so good.

 While editing a given record called Issue, the user may choose to edit other
 records that it references (AffectedParty, in this case).  To do this, we
 switch to the new page without performing any commit.  When the referenced
 record is updated, the user returns to the original Issue record.  So far,
 nothing has been committed.  All changes will committed when editing is
 complete for the Issue record.

 The problem occurs when users open multiple tabs to multiple Issues.  In
 this case, my persistence framework (Hibernate) is using one session for all
 updates, so a commit to one will affect all the others.  This can cause all
 kinds of complex problems when the user is editing multiple unrelated
 records at the same time.

 I would like this application to be able to support working on multiple
 records at once.  One place this can be fixed is in the persistence layer,
 by associating unrelated records with separate Sessions.  However, this can
 get complicated, fast.  Another thing that I might try is to detach the
 record from Hibernate at the end of each page being rendered, and reattach
 it at the time of update.  Right now, this seems like the most reasonable
 solution.

 Is there a standard Wicket solution for this problem?  A friend of mine who
 uses Seam suggested that I check out whether or not Wicket supports
 conversations, a concept with which I'm only partly familiar (they're like
 transactions, but can comprise multiple individual transactions...right?).
  So far, it looks to me like Wicket doesn't directly support this concept,
 and I'm not even sure how it would help me, anyway.

 Any suggestions?

I think you may be able to separate those things into transactions
using spring annotation based transactions?

So then you can handle your transactions being created / flushed by a
method scope - so the data will be flushed to DB when the method
invokation is finished.

You can read more at:
