What Destination Name to use with DataServiceTransaction in Model Driven approach

[Former Community Member]

Hello

I am using Model Driven Approach where no destinations are configured in data-management-config.xml, it is done automatically. In my backend webapp, I want to persist some data and push the changes to the clients. While I can use DataServiceTransaction.createItem() but what destination name should I use? What is the default name of the destination created by model assembler?

thanks

Hi Rupak,

You should pass the destination name to DST. And by default, it is called <ModelName>.<NameOfEntity>

The Destination Id is <ModelName>.<EntityName> (Note the dot . in between the two parts). If you have Flash Builder with the Data Services Modeller plugin installed, you can actually see the destination in the Destinations view, under DMS Destinations.

I also wanted to note, if you run into issues calling Data Service Transaction on the server, you may want to try setting the Message Broker on the FlexContext like this:

MessageBroker messageBroker = MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null); //Pass in the Message Broker ID if you have changed it.
FlexContext.setThreadLocalMessageBroker(messageBroker);

then when you are done with the Data Service Transaction, you can call setThreadLocalMessageBroker() with null.

Hi Ashish

Now the Destination ID is correct but I get the following exception. Also tried setting the Message Broker on the FlexContext but same error. The code is as follows.

Pls advise

Rupak

        MessageBroker messageBroker = MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null); //Pass in the Message Broker ID if you have changed it.
        FlexContext.setThreadLocalMessageBroker(messageBroker);

         DataServiceTransaction dtx = DataServiceTransaction.begin(false); 
         //DataServiceTransaction dtx = DataServiceTransaction.getCurrentDataServiceTransaction();
         dtx.setSendChangesToAdapter(true);
         Currency c1 = new Currency();
         c1.setCurrencyCode("ABC");
         c1.setCurrencyName("Dummy Currency");
         c1.setCurrencyLastUpdated(new Date());
         c1.setCurrencyId(new Integer(537)); 
         dtx.createItem("TraderWorkStation.Currency", c1); 
         dtx.commit();
        
         FlexContext.setThreadLocalMessageBroker(null);

As Don mentioned in the other thread, you can use the ServerGeneratedEntities annotation to control this. For more information, see this documentation:

Ok, so far so good, but in my original code, I am using dtx.setSendChangesToAdapter(true) and expect that the createIte

m() would be persisted to the database. Is it not the case, while I see that the new item is sent to the client but it is not being written to the database.
