Method Detail

setPersistenceState

public void setPersistenceState(int persistenceState)
Specified by:
setPersistenceState in interface Persistent
Overrides:
setPersistenceState in class PersistentObject

readNestedProperty

public java.lang.Object readNestedProperty(java.lang.String path)
Returns a value of the property identified by a property path. Supports reading both mapped and unmapped properties. Unmapped properties are accessed in a manner consistent with JavaBeans specification.

Property path (or nested property) is a dot-separated path used to traverse object relationships until the final object is found. If a null object found while traversing path, null is returned. If a list is encountered in the middle of the path, CayenneRuntimeException is thrown. Unlike readPropertyDirectly(String), this method will resolve an object if it is HOLLOW.

Examples:

Specified by:
readNestedProperty in interface DataObject
Since:
1.0.5

readProperty

public java.lang.Object readProperty(java.lang.String propertyName)
Description copied from interface: DataObject
Returns a value of the property identified by propName. Resolves faults if needed. This method can safely be used instead of or in addition to the auto-generated property accessors in subclasses of CayenneDataObject.

Specified by:
readProperty in interface DataObject

readPropertyDirectly

public java.lang.Object readPropertyDirectly(java.lang.String propName)
Description copied from interface: DataObject
Returns mapped property value as curently stored in the DataObject. Returned value maybe a fault or a real value. This method will not attempt to resolve faults, or to read unmapped properties.

Specified by:
readPropertyDirectly in interface DataObject

writeProperty

public void writeProperty(java.lang.String propName,
                          java.lang.Object val)
Description copied from interface: DataObject
Sets the property to the new value. Resolves faults if needed. This method can be safely used instead of or in addition to the auto-generated property modifiers to set simple properties. Note that to set to-one relationships use DataObject.setToOneTarget(String, DataObject, boolean).

Specified by:
writeProperty in interface DataObject
Parameters:
propName - a name of the bean property being modified.
val - a new value of the property.

writePropertyDirectly

public void writePropertyDirectly(java.lang.String propName,
                                  java.lang.Object val)
Description copied from interface: DataObject
Modifies a value of a named property without altering the object state in any way, and without triggering any database operations. This method is intended mostly for internal use by Cayenne framework, and shouldn't be called from the application code.

Specified by:
writePropertyDirectly in interface DataObject

removeToManyTarget

public void removeToManyTarget(java.lang.String relName,
                               DataObject value,
                               boolean setReverse)
Description copied from interface: DataObject
Removes an object from a to-many relationship.

Specified by:
removeToManyTarget in interface DataObject

addToManyTarget

public void addToManyTarget(java.lang.String relName,
                            DataObject value,
                            boolean setReverse)
Description copied from interface: DataObject
Adds an object to a to-many relationship.

Specified by:
addToManyTarget in interface DataObject

setToOneTarget

public void setToOneTarget(java.lang.String relationshipName,
                           DataObject value,
                           boolean setReverse)
Description copied from interface: DataObject
Sets to-one relationship to a new value. Resolves faults if needed. This method can safely be used instead of or in addition to the auto-generated property modifiers to set properties that are to-one relationships.

Specified by:
setToOneTarget in interface DataObject
Parameters:
relationshipName - a name of the bean property being modified - same as the name of ObjRelationship.
value - a new value of the property.
setReverse - whether to update the reverse relationship pointing from the old and new values of the property to this object.

willConnect

protected void willConnect(java.lang.String relationshipName,
                           Persistent object)
Called before establishing a relationship with another object. Applies "persistence by reachability" logic, pulling one of the two objects to a DataConext of another object in case one of the objects is transient. If both objects are persistent, and they don't have the same DataContext, CayenneRuntimeException is thrown.

Since:
1.2

setReverseRelationship

protected void setReverseRelationship(java.lang.String relName,
                                      DataObject val)
Initializes reverse relationship from object val to this object.

Parameters:
relName - name of relationship from this object to val.

unsetReverseRelationship

protected void unsetReverseRelationship(java.lang.String relName,
                                        DataObject val)
Removes current object from reverse relationship of object val to this object.


toStringBuffer

public java.lang.StringBuffer toStringBuffer(java.lang.StringBuffer buffer,
                                             boolean fullDesc)
A variation of "toString" method, that may be more efficient in some cases. For example when printing a list of objects into the same String.


appendProperties

protected void appendProperties(java.lang.StringBuffer buffer)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()
Overrides:
toString in class PersistentObject

getSnapshotVersion

public long getSnapshotVersion()
Returns a version of a DataRow snapshot that was used to create this object.

Specified by:
setSnapshotVersion in interface DataObject
Since:
1.1

makePath

public static java.lang.String makePath(java.lang.String... pathParts)
Convenience method to invoke Cayenne.makePath(String...) from within a DataObject subclass to create a dotted path using the generated string constants for attributes and relationships.

Since:
3.1
See Also:
Cayenne.makePath(String...)

validateForSave

protected void validateForSave(ValidationResult validationResult)
Performs property validation of the object, appending any validation failures to the provided validationResult object. This method is invoked from "validateFor.." before committing a NEW or MODIFIED object to the database. Validation includes checking for null values and value sizes. CayenneDataObject subclasses may override this method, calling super.

Since:
1.1

validateForInsert

public void validateForInsert(ValidationResult validationResult)
Calls validateForSave(ValidationResult). CayenneDataObject subclasses may override it providing validation logic that should be executed for the newly created objects before saving them.

Specified by:
validateForInsert in interface Validating
Since:
1.1

validateForUpdate

public void validateForUpdate(ValidationResult validationResult)
Calls validateForSave(ValidationResult). CayenneDataObject subclasses may override it providing validation logic that should be executed for the modified objects before saving them.

Specified by:
validateForUpdate in interface Validating
Since:
1.1

validateForDelete

public void validateForDelete(ValidationResult validationResult)
This implementation does nothing. CayenneDataObject subclasses may override it providing validation logic that should be executed for the deleted objects before committing them.

Specified by:
validateForDelete in interface Validating
Since:
1.1

encodeAsXML

@Deprecated
public void encodeAsXML(XMLEncoder encoder)
Deprecated. since 3.1 XML serialization package is deprecated and will be removed in the following releases. It has a number of functional and performance limitations that make it impossible to evolve further. A replacement may be provided in an undefined future. For now we recommend the users to implement XML serialization of persistent objects based JAXB, XStream or other similar frameworks.

encoder - The encoder object.
Since:
1.2
