All Implemented Interfaces:

CollectionStore, SetStore

public class OneToManySetStore

extends com.triactive.jdo.store.AbstractSetStore

The backing store for a one-to-many set defined over the class base table of its elements.

The element class has a field designated the "owner" field, which must map to a single column in its backing table. Each row having a non-null owner represents the presence of that element in the owner's Set. The owner column must be an OID column.

The base PersistenceCapable type of the owning objects in question must be known (their ClassBaseTable must be provided).

Queries and iterations over the set will execute with a single SQL statement that includes all the default-fetch-group fields of the elements.

Field Summary

protected DatabaseAdapter

dba The database adapter for this set store.

Method Summary

boolean	allowsNulls() Indicates whether or not null elements are allowed to be stored.
void	clearAll(java.util.Collection owners) Clears the sets associated with an entire group of objects.
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object obj)
java.lang.Class	getElementType() Returns the type of elements stored in the collection.
static SetStore	getInstance(ClassBaseTable ownerTable, ClassBaseTable elementTable, int ownerFieldNumber) Returns a one-to-many set store.
int	hashCode()
protected com.triactive.jdo.store.AbstractSetStore	intern()
boolean	isEmbeddedElement() Indicates whether or not elements are "embedded" in the store. An embedded object is stored by value (SCO), otherwise an OID reference is stored (FCO).
PersistentSet	newSetInstance(StateManager owner) Returns a new persistent set representing the set associated with the given object. Iterators returned by the persistent set support the remove() method.
QueryStatement.QueryColumn[]	newSubqueryStatement(QueryStatement qs, CorrelationName setRangeVar) Creates a subquery of the given query that selects all the relationships in the collection. No columns have been selected yet in the new subquery.
QueryStatement.QueryColumn[]	newSubqueryStatement(QueryStatement qs, CorrelationName setRangeVar, CorrelationName elementRangeVar, java.lang.Class elementSubtype) Creates a subquery of the given query that selects all the relationships in the collection to elements of a specific type. No columns have been selected yet in the new subquery.

protected final DatabaseAdapter dba

The database adapter for this set store.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static SetStore getInstance(ClassBaseTable ownerTable,
                                   ClassBaseTable elementTable,
                                   int ownerFieldNumber)

Returns a one-to-many set store. Returns either a newly-constructed set store object, or an equivalent existing object from an internally-maintained pool.

Parameters:

ownerTable - The backing table of the owner objects.

elementTable - The backing table of the element objects.

ownerFieldNumber - The absolute field number of the owner field in the element class.

getElementType

public java.lang.Class getElementType()

Returns the type of elements stored in the collection.

isEmbeddedElement

public boolean isEmbeddedElement()

Indicates whether or not elements are "embedded" in the store. An embedded object is stored by value (SCO), otherwise an OID reference is stored (FCO).

allowsNulls

public boolean allowsNulls()

Indicates whether or not null elements are allowed to be stored.

newSubqueryStatement

public QueryStatement.QueryColumn[] newSubqueryStatement(QueryStatement qs,
                                                         CorrelationName setRangeVar)

Creates a subquery of the given query that selects all the relationships in the collection. No columns have been selected yet in the new subquery.

Parameters:

qs - The surrounding query statement.

setRangeVar - The range variable to be used for the "Set" table in the subquery.

Returns:

An array of two QueryColumns representing the owner ID column and the element or element ID column, respectively, in the subquery.

newSubqueryStatement

public QueryStatement.QueryColumn[] newSubqueryStatement(QueryStatement qs,
                                                         CorrelationName setRangeVar,
                                                         CorrelationName elementRangeVar,
                                                         java.lang.Class elementSubtype)

Creates a subquery of the given query that selects all the relationships in the collection to elements of a specific type. No columns have been selected yet in the new subquery.

Parameters:

qs - The surrounding query statement.

setRangeVar - The range variable to be used for the "Set" table in the subquery.

elementRangeVar - The range variable to be used for the "Element" table in the subquery, if necessary.

elementSubtype - Attempts to query only over elements of this type.

Returns:

An array of two QueryColumns representing the owner ID column and the element or element ID column, respectively, in the subquery.

newSetInstance

public PersistentSet newSetInstance(StateManager owner)

Returns a new persistent set representing the set associated with the given object.

Iterators returned by the persistent set support the remove() method.

Parameters:

owner - The StateManager of the object whose set is to be returned.

Returns:

the new persistent set

hashCode

public int hashCode()

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

intern

protected com.triactive.jdo.store.AbstractSetStore intern()

clearAll

public void clearAll(java.util.Collection owners)

Clears the sets associated with an entire group of objects.

The implementation in this class simply iterates over the owners, and calls newSetInstance(o).clear() on each one. There are opportunities for further optimization here. Subclasses might benefit from implementing this method in some way more specific to the type of SetStore.

For many-to-many sets, the clearing of the rows in the join table could be made quicker by a series of DELETE ... WHERE OWNER IN (?,...)

For one-to-many sets, if the owner column is nullable a series of UPDATE ... SET OWNER = NULL WHERE OWNER IN (?,...) might be faster. If it's not nullable then the deletions might be made quicker with a new method like ClassBaseTable.deleteWhereIn().

Another day ...

Specified by:

clearAll in interface SetStore

Parameters:

owners - The StateManagers of all the objects whose set is to be cleared.
