Re: [udig-devel] Difference between the "Save" and "Commit Changes" but

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the definitions from the online help:

Commit

Commit changes made to the server or database hosting the information.

Save

Save contents of the current Map or Page editor.

This menu is only available when a map is already opened.

I am going to go fix the page to mention the idea of a "temporary" layer.

Hi,

They are currently related but not identical.  If the layer is a "temporary layer" (has a star beside it in the layers view) the save will commit and allow you to save that layer to disk as a shapefile (in the future gridcoverages will also be supported).  For all other layers it behaves the same as a commit.  Since temporary layers also are transactional commit will commit the temporary layer but the layer will still be temporary so on shutdown it will be lost.

Hi,

Can someone tell me the difference between the "Save" and "Commit changes" actions available from the button in the toolbar ?

Imagine I have a worldmap (from a shapeFile) as background of my diagram and I show some datas (from a WFS) in a different layer : the user must be able to edit these datas and update them on server side. A single action should be sufficient, the "Save" one : is there a way to merge these two actions ?

Regards,
Jacques
