    extends IndirectionPolicy

    Purpose

    : TransparentIndirectionPolicy implements the behavior necessary for a a CollectionMapping to use IndirectContainers to delay the reading of objects from the database until they are actually needed.

        IndirectList and IndirectSet can be configured not to instantiate the list from the database when you add and remove from them. IndirectList defaults to this behavior. When Set to true, the collection associated with this TransparentIndirection will be setup so as not to instantiate for adds and removes. The weakness of this setting for an IndirectSet is that when the set is not instantiated, if a duplicate element is added, it will not be detected until commit time.

        public TransparentIndirectionPolicy()
        INTERNAL: Construct a new indirection policy.

      • buildBackupClone

        protected Object buildBackupClone​(IndirectContainer container)
        INTERNAL: Return a backup clone of a clone container that has not been read from the database yet. This is used by the indirection policy to hook together a UOW clone with its backup clone - only when the clone (the working copy returned to the user) instantiates its contents from the database will these contents be copied to the backup clone.
      • buildIndirectContainer

        protected IndirectContainer buildIndirectContainer()
        Construct and return an instance of the specified indirect container class.
      • buildIndirectContainer

        protected Object buildIndirectContainer​(ValueHolderInterface valueHolder)
        Return a new IndirectContainer with the specified value holder.
      • buildIndirectObject

        public Object buildIndirectObject​(ValueHolderInterface valueHolder)
        INTERNAL: This method can be used when an Indirection Object is required to be built from a provided ValueHolderInterface object. This may be used for custom value holder types. Certain policies like the TransparentIndirectionPolicy may wrap the valueholder in another object.

      • cloneAttribute

        public Object cloneAttribute​(Object attributeValue,
                                     Object original,
                                     CacheKey cacheKey,
                                     Object clone,
                                     Integer refreshCascade,
                                     AbstractSession cloningSession,
                                     boolean buildDirectlyFromRow)
        Return a clone of the attribute.
        Specified by:
        cloneAttribute in class IndirectionPolicy
        Parameters:
        buildDirectlyFromRow - indicates that we are building the clone directly from a row as opposed to building the original from the row, putting it in the shared cache, and then cloning the original.
      • containerPolicyIsValid

        protected boolean containerPolicyIsValid()
        INTERNAL: Return whether the container policy is valid for the indirection policy. In this case, the container policy MUST be configured for an IndirectContainer.

                                                          AbstractSession session)
        INTERNAL: Return the primary key for the reference object (i.e. the object object referenced by domainObject and specified by mapping). This key will be used by a RemoteValueHolder. OneToOneMappings should not be using transparent direction.

      • extractReferenceRow

        public AbstractRecord extractReferenceRow​(Object referenceObject)
        INTERNAL: Return the reference row for the reference object. This allows the new row to be built without instantiating the reference object. Return null if the object has already been instantiated.

                                             AbstractSession session)
        INTERNAL: Return the original valueHolder object. Access to the underlying valueholder may be required when serializing the valueholder or converting the valueHolder to another type.

      • isAttributeValueFullyBuilt

        public boolean isAttributeValueFullyBuilt​(Object attributeValue)
        INTERNAL: The method validateAttributeOfInstantiatedObject(Object attributeValue) fixes the value of the attributeValue in cases where it is null and indirection requires that it contain some specific data structure. Return whether this will happen. This method is used to help determine if indirection has been triggered
        Overrides:
        isAttributeValueFullyBuilt in class IndirectionPolicy
        Parameters:
        attributeValue -

        INTERNAL: Set the value of the appropriate attribute of target to attributeValue. If the Target has yet to be instantiated then we need to instantiate the target to ensure that the backup clone is instantiated for comparison.

        protected boolean typeIsValid​(Class declaredType)
        INTERNAL: Return whether the type is appropriate for the indirection policy. In this case, the attribute type MUST be compatible with the one specified by the ContainerPolicy (i.e. either the container policy class is a subclass of the declared type [jdk1.1] or the container policy class implements the declared interface [jdk1.2]).

        public Object validateAttributeOfInstantiatedObject​(Object attributeValue)
        INTERNAL: Verify that the value of the attribute within an instantiated object is of the appropriate type for the indirection policy. In this case, the attribute must be non-null and it must be at least a subclass or implementor of the container type.
