<ul>
<li>In Navigator or Package Explorer open context menu for a team project<br><br>

<li>
Choose 'ECF Generic' provider, and connect to a specific collaboration group
<br><br>
<IMG src="images/screens/projectconnectproject.png"><br><br>
</li>
<li>Once the project is connected you should see team members listed in the ECF Collaboration view
<br><br>
<img src="images/screens/projectcollaborationview.png"><br><br>
</li>
<li>
Select a text file (e.g. source file) in team project, and choose ECF->Open Shared Editor
<br><br>
<img src="images/screens/opensharededitor.png"><br><br>
</li>
<li>
You (and others in the same collaboration group, should then see an open editor on the selected resource

<B>Core Support For Transactional State Distribution Protocols</B>
</P>
</TD>
<TD vAlign=top width="70%">
<p><br></p>
<P>For reliability, it's frequently desireable to have state distribution done via transactional protocols where either
all participants successfully receive a given piece of application state, or all 'abort' and fail back to a
known state.
<p>
This new set of classes allows applications to easily implement 'all-or-nothing' semantics for arbitrary state distribution
in ECF applications.
</p>
<p>ECF has added a new package, <b>org.eclipse.ecf.core.sharedobject</b> that provides an API for application developers to
create shared objects whose state is distributed via transactional protocols. So, for example, here is some code that
creates a shared object with a Boolean as its state and by inheriting from org.eclipse.ecf.sharedobject.TransactionSharedObject
it automatically uses a transactional protocol (two-phase commit) for istributing its state (in this case a Boolean variable value)
to replicas.
<pre>
package org.eclipse.ecf.test.sharedobjects;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.eclipse.ecf.core.SharedObjectDescription;
import org.eclipse.ecf.core.identity.ID;
import org.eclipse.ecf.core.sharedobject.TransactionSharedObject;
public class TestTransactionSharedObject extends TransactionSharedObject {
Boolean state = null;
public TestTransactionSharedObject(Boolean val, int timeout) {
super(timeout);
state = val;
}
public TestTransactionSharedObject() {
super();
state = null;
}
protected SharedObjectDescription getReplicaDescription(ID receiver) {
// This method is executed on primary to determine initial state
// for replicas
// include primary state in properties
Map properties = new HashMap();
properties.put("state", state);
return new SharedObjectDescription(getID(), getClass().getName(),
properties);
}
protected void initialize() {
// This method is executed on both primary and replicas
super.initialize();
// Only set state via properties if we are replica (not primary)
if (!isPrimary()) {
Map properties = getConfig().getProperties();
if (properties != null) {
state = (Boolean) properties.get("state");
}
}
}
}
