Though its called connected data objects, it there some way of using CDO in a kind-of offline mode?
Currently not. When the connection is terminated or breaks down the CDO session is automatically closed, along with all open views and transactions. But due to the tremendous demnad for and usefulness of an offline mode we have made this feature our current top priority. The problem itself is two-fold. Since demand loading will not work when offline we need to checkout partial copies of the central object graph. The ability to cache revisions in the local file system will also provide for even better scalability because will use this ability to page out dirty parts of local transactions. For the switch back to online mode we need a sync/merge mechanism for objects. This has recently been added to support the pluggable conflict resolvers of transactions.
