Sequence-number generation in Magma
Last updated at 9:44 pm UTC on 19 April 2011
Gjaller is a Magma application that wanted to employ unique sequence-number generation across multiple clients in Magma. By employing Magma's Remote Perform Capability and MagmaCounter, reliable sequence-number generation was easily implemented. Every client sends
"serverPerform: #getNextSequenceNumber"
and are guaranteed to get a unique and consecutive sequence number from the server.
See MagmaTestCase>>#testSequenceNumberGenerator for details.
