Other Transaction Management Issues

When you design an application that uses Repository, you must consider these transaction management issues:

• What are the implications of reading Repository data outside the scope of a transaction?
  
  
• Is a locking protocol necessary for the application?
  
  
• Are Repository cache overflows likely to occur, and what can be done to avoid cache overflows?

  The next sections discuss each of these issues:
