Re: Upgrading ozone applications
Hi,
If i understand you correctly you are creating and storing objects during
one cycle and then in the next cycle redesigning the classes so that data is
held differently and the composition and inheritance structure changes but
you want to move the data from the old design to the new. AFAIK there is
currently no automagic support for this. You will have to write a conversion
program that takes you from one state to the other. If you have any ideas
how this could be automagically done by the server please let us know.
Schema evolution has been on the TODO list for a while.
Best regards,
Per
