Serious Persistence Problem

["Don Berendsen" <donberendsen@hotmail.com>]

Up until the last two weeks we have never had a problem with persistence in 
Ozone. However recently a lot more classes (still only a few 100) and 
objects (a few thousand) have been added to the database and now some 
objects do not persist properly. The object state is changed immediately 
after the method invocation but reverts to its original state after the 
database is closed and reopened.

We are using the '/*update*/ tag after interface methods to indicate the 
methods that change object state. All the methods associated with the 
problem have the '/*update*/' tag. There is no discernable difference in the 
very few classes & methods where the problem occurs and others. On my 
machine the problem disappeared when I changed the order of loading the 
classes and objects, on another machine the problem continues.

I noticed in the generated proxies all the method invocations  have a 
Lock.LEVEL_READ. As I recall from earlier days that update methods had a 
Lock.LEVEL_WRITE.  I haven't tested this exhaustively but in one case where 
values weren't persisting I changed the method invocation to 
Lock.LEVEL_WRITE and the value was then persisted properly.

I'm using Ozone 1.0.1 running on NT4.0, JDK 1.3.1_01.

Should the invocation of update methods in proxies have a Lock.LEVEL_WRITE?

If so, how can I compel OPP to generate this?

if not:

a. how does Ozone know which methods require a write after invocation?

b. Is there some setting in the NT, Java, or Ozone environments that could 
be changed to eliminate this problem?

Thanks,

Don
