All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable

public class ContainerIndirectionPolicy extends BasicIndirectionPolicy

    • backupCloneAttribute

      public Object backupCloneAttribute(Object attributeValue, Object clone, Object backup, UnitOfWorkImpl unitOfWork)
      INTERNAL: Return a backup clone of the attribute.
      Overrides:

    • buildContainer

      protected IndirectContainer buildContainer(ValueHolderInterface<?> valueHolder)
      Build a container with the initialized constructor.
    • 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.
      Overrides:
      buildIndirectObject in class BasicIndirectionPolicy
    • cloneAttribute

      public Object cloneAttribute(Object attributeValue, Object original, CacheKey cacheKey, Object clone, Integer refreshCascade, AbstractSession cloningSession, boolean buildDirectlyFromRow)
      INTERNAL: Return a clone of the attribute.
      Overrides:
      cloneAttribute in class BasicIndirectionPolicy
      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.
    • 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.

    • getRealAttributeValueFromObject

      public Object getRealAttributeValueFromObject(Object object, Object attribute)
      INTERNAL: Return the "real" attribute value, as opposed to any wrapper. This will trigger the wrapper to instantiate the value.
      Overrides:
      getRealAttributeValueFromObject in class BasicIndirectionPolicy
    • initialize

      public void initialize()
      INTERNAL: Ensure the container class implements IndirectContainer and that it has a constructor which can be used.
      Overrides:
      initialize in class IndirectionPolicy
    • 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 BasicIndirectionPolicy
      See Also:
    • iterateOnAttributeValue

      public void iterateOnAttributeValue(DescriptorIterator iterator, Object attributeValue)
      INTERNAL: Iterate over the specified attribute value,
      Overrides:
      iterateOnAttributeValue in class BasicIndirectionPolicy
    • nullValueFromRow

      public Object nullValueFromRow()
      INTERNAL: Return the null value of the appropriate attribute. That is, the field from the database is NULL, return what should be placed in the object's attribute as a result. In this case, return an empty ValueHolder.
      Overrides:
      nullValueFromRow in class BasicIndirectionPolicy
    • reset

      public void reset(Object target)
      Reset the wrapper used to store the value.
