Interface CDOUnit

public interface CDOUnit
A disjunct EObject subtree of a model repository with the following additional characteristics:
  • All root / subtree element relations of a unit are physically stored and managed in the model repository.
  • All elements of a unit are loaded very quickly in a single server request when the unit is opened.
  • All elements of an open unit stay loaded until the unit is closed.
  • While a unit is open all its elements receive change notifications from the server without the need for a change subscription policy.
  • Units can not overlap, that is, their element subtrees are disjunct.
  • Units are locally managed by the unit manager of the view.
