Interface IdentityMapAccessor

public interface IdentityMapAccessor

PUBLIC: IdentityMapAccessor provides the public interface into all functionality associated with TopLink identity maps. An appropriate IdentityMapAccessor can be obtained from a session with its getIdentityMapAccessor() method. Methods that used to be called on the Session to access identity maps can now be called through the IdentityMapAccessor.

For instance, to initialize identity maps the code used to be: session.initializeIdentityIdentityMaps()
With this class, the code now is: session.getIdentityMapAccessor().initializeIdentityMaps()

updateWriteLockValue

void updateWriteLockValue(java.lang.Object domainObject,
                          java.lang.Object writeLockValue)

ADVANCED: Updates the write lock value in the identity map for cache key of the primary key the given Object.

Parameters:

domainObject - Object

updateWriteLockValue

void updateWriteLockValue(java.util.Vector primaryKey,
                          java.lang.Class theClass,
                          java.lang.Object writeLockValue)

ADVANCED: Updates the write lock value in the cache for the Object with same primary key as the given Object. The write lock values is used when optimistic locking is stored in the cache instead of in the object.

Parameters:

primaryKey - Vector

theClass - Class

writeLockValue - Object for versioning

validateCache

void validateCache()

ADVANCED: This can be used to help debugging an Object identity problem. An Object identity problem is when an Object in the cache references an Object that is not in the cache. This method will validate that all cached Objects are in a correct state.
