Merging conflict items into the item's history

[bgoetzmann]

Hello,

In the FeedSync For Atom and RSS specification (http://dev.live.com/
feedsync/spec/v1.htm), in 3.4.3 it is said that :

"The conflict items the user factored into their decision MUST then be
merged (4) into the item’s history so the user isn’t asked to resolve
the same conflict more than once."

So the specification gives the algorythme to follow in order to merge
conflicts items into the resolved item's history.

Is this algorythme implemented in Mesh4j?


Thank you for your response.

Cheers,

Bertrand.

Yes, it is implemented.

However, note that the algorithm is about preserving and merging the
*history*, not the item content.

thanks

Thank you,

To be more precise, my web application permits to resolve a conflict
et proposes the user to choose between the actual Item or a conflicted
Item.
Can you tell me what is the class and the method that can do this
merging for the history?

Cheers,

Bertrand.

.NET or Java version?

[bgoetzmann]

The Java version!

Thanks.

In java version the class that merge histories is MergeBehavior, but if you need that users manually merge the items, you should be implement a IPreviewImportHandler.

Please see IPreviewImportHandler and SyncEngine>>synchronize(Date since, IPreviewImportHandler previewer, PreviewBehavior behavior);

When the user choose the item, you should be update the item calling to ISyncAdapter>>update(Item item, boolean resolveConflicts);

JMT

Thank you,

 

I see that method calls MergeBehavior.resolveConflicts.

 

Cheers,

 

Bertrand.
