No way to remove Context user property

["Aleksey V. Katorgin" <pr...@gmail.com>]

Hi!

There is no way to remove user property from data context because property
container implementation uses ConcurrentHashMap that does not support null
values. Can I create task in cayenne jira bugtracker?

Nah, it is normal that everyone's availability to help on the community list varies, and sometimes you don't get an immediate answer.

Good catch. Definitely create a Jira. We'll need to fix it.

Thanks,

Very strange what my question still has no answers. I'll try to be more clear:

        ServerRuntime runtime = ...;

        ObjectContext ctx = runtime.getContext();
        
        ctx.setUserProperty("my-property", "value");
        
        ctx.setUserProperty("my-property", null); // throws NPE and no another 
way to delete property.

        /// Workaround:
        // Define global constant: public static final Object EMPTY_VALUE = new 
Object();

        // Clear property:
        ctx.setUserProperty("my-property", EMPTY_VALUE);
        
        // Check if empty:        
        if (EMPTY_VALUE.equals(ctx.getUserProperty("my-property"))) {
            // ...
        }
        
        // Should have in API anything like:
        ctx.removeUserProperty("my-property");


May be should I ask this question to devel group?
