Mobile and Local Business Objects

A business object can be either local or mobile. A local business object is a client only object, and is represented by the LocalBusinessObject interface. A mobile business object can be synchronized with the Unwired Server, and is represented by the MobileBusinessObject interface.

Both LocalBusinessObject and MobileBusinessObject extend BusinessObject. MobileBusinessObject provides the following additional methods:

cancelPending
getLogRecords
isCreated
isPending
isUpdated
submitPending

getLogRecords returns operation logs as LogRecord instances. See the LogRecord API.

submitPending submits a pending record to the Unwired Server. A pending record is one that has been updated in the client database, but not sent to the Unwired Server.

cancelPending cancels a pending record.

Common Mobile Business Object Methods
A set of common methods are available with each mobile business object.
Local Business Object
Defined in Unwired WorkSpace, local business objects are not bound to EIS data sources, so cannot be synchronized. Instead, they are objects that are used as a local data store on device. Local business objects do not call submitPending, or perform a replay or import from the Unwired Server.
