Enum Class LockMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

public enum LockMode extends Enum<LockMode>
Instances represent a lock mode for a row of a relational database table. It is not intended that users spend much time worrying about locking since Hibernate usually obtains exactly the right lock level automatically. Some "advanced" users may wish to explicitly specify lock levels.

This enumeration of lock modes competes with the JPA-defined LockModeType, but offers additional options, including UPGRADE_NOWAIT and UPGRADE_SKIPLOCKED.

    • NONE

      public static final LockMode NONE
      No lock required. If an object is requested with this lock mode, a READ lock will be obtained if it turns out to be necessary to actually read the state from the database, rather than pull it from a cache.

      This is the "default" lock mode, the mode requested by calling Session.get(Class, Object) without passing an explicit mode. It permits the state of an object to be retrieved from the cache without the cost of database access.

      See Also:

    • READ

      public static final LockMode READ
      A shared lock. Objects in this lock mode were read from the database in the current transaction, rather than being pulled from a cache.

      Note that this lock mode is the same as the JPA-defined modes LockModeType.READ and LockModeType.OPTIMISTIC.

      See Also:

    • OPTIMISTIC

      public static final LockMode OPTIMISTIC
      A shared optimistic lock. Assumes that the current transaction will not experience contention for the state of an entity. The version will be checked near the end of the transaction, to verify that this was indeed the case.

      Note that, despite the similar names this lock mode is not the same as the JPA-defined mode LockModeType.OPTIMISTIC.

    • OPTIMISTIC_FORCE_INCREMENT

      public static final LockMode OPTIMISTIC_FORCE_INCREMENT
      A kind of exclusive optimistic lock. Assumes that the current transaction will not experience contention for the state of an entity. The version will be checked and incremented near the end of the transaction, to verify that this was indeed the case, and to signal to concurrent optimistic readers that their optimistic locks have failed.
      See Also:

    • WRITE

      @Internal public static final LockMode WRITE
      An exclusive write lock. Objects in this lock mode were updated or inserted in the database in the current transaction.

      This lock mode is for internal use only and is not a legal argument to Session.get(Class, Object, LockMode), Session.refresh(Object, LockMode), or Session.lock(Object, LockMode). These methods throw an exception if WRITE is given as an argument.

      Note that, despite the similar names, this lock mode is not the same as the JPA-defined mode LockModeType.WRITE.

    • UPGRADE_NOWAIT

      public static final LockMode UPGRADE_NOWAIT
      A pessimistic upgrade lock, obtained using an Oracle-style select for update nowait. The semantics of this lock mode, if the lock is successfully obtained, are the same as PESSIMISTIC_WRITE. If the lock is not immediately available, an exception occurs.

    • UPGRADE_SKIPLOCKED

      public static final LockMode UPGRADE_SKIPLOCKED
      A pessimistic upgrade lock, obtained using an Oracle-style select for update skip locked. The semantics of this lock mode, if the lock is successfully obtained, are the same as PESSIMISTIC_WRITE. But if the lock is not immediately available, no exception occurs, but the locked row is not returned from the database.

    • PESSIMISTIC_READ

      public static final LockMode PESSIMISTIC_READ
      A pessimistic shared lock, which prevents concurrent transactions from writing the locked object. Obtained via a select for share statement in dialects where this syntax is supported, and via select for update in other dialects.

      On databases which do not support for share, this lock mode is equivalent to PESSIMISTIC_WRITE.

      See Also:

    • PESSIMISTIC_WRITE

      public static final LockMode PESSIMISTIC_WRITE
      A pessimistic upgrade lock, which prevents concurrent transactions from reading or writing the locked object. Obtained via a select for update statement.
      See Also:

    • PESSIMISTIC_FORCE_INCREMENT

      public static final LockMode PESSIMISTIC_FORCE_INCREMENT
      A pessimistic write lock which immediately increments the version of the locked object. Obtained by immediate execution of an update statement.

  • Method Details

    • values

      public static LockMode[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

    • valueOf

      public static LockMode valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null
