Package org.apache.cayenne.access

Class DataContext

java.lang.Object
org.apache.cayenne.BaseContext
org.apache.cayenne.access.DataContext
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, DataChannel, ObjectContext
public class DataContext extends BaseContext
The most common implementation of ObjectContext. DataContext is an isolated container of an object graph, in a sense that any uncommitted changes to persistent objects that are registered with the context, are not visible to the users of other contexts.

      Instantiates a new object and registers it with this context. Object class is determined from the mapped entity. Object class must have a default constructor.

      Note: in most cases newObject(Class) method should be used, however this method is helpful when generic persistent classes are used.

      Since:
      3.0

    • registerNewObject

      public void registerNewObject(Object object)
      Registers a transient object with the context, recursively registering all transient persistent objects attached to this object via relationships.

      Note that since 3.0 this method takes Object as an argument instead of a DataObject.

      Specified by:
      registerNewObject in interface ObjectContext
      Specified by:
      registerNewObject in class BaseContext
      Parameters:

    • unregisterObjects

      public void unregisterObjects(Collection dataObjects)
      Unregisters a Collection of DataObjects from the DataContext and the underlying ObjectStore. This operation also unsets DataContext for each object and changes its state to TRANSIENT.

    • rollbackChangesLocally

      public void rollbackChangesLocally()
      If the parent channel is a DataContext, reverts local changes to make this context look like the parent, if the parent channel is a DataDomain, reverts all changes.

      rollbackChanges in class BaseContext

    • commitChangesToParent

      public void commitChangesToParent()
      "Flushes" the changes to the parent DataChannel. If the parent channel is a DataContext, it updates its objects with this context's changes, without a database update. If it is a DataDomain (the most common case), the changes are written to the database. To cause cascading commit all the way to the database, one must use commitChanges() .

    • iterator

      public <T> ResultIterator<T> iterator(Select<T> query)
      Description copied from interface: ObjectContext
      Creates a ResultIterator based on the provided query. It is usually backed by an open result set and is useful for processing of large data sets, preserving a constant memory footprint. The caller must wrap iteration in try/finally (or try-with-resources for Java 1.7 and higher) and close the ResultIterator explicitly. Or use ObjectContext.iterate(Select, ResultIteratorCallback) as an alternative.
      Specified by:
      iterator in interface ObjectContext
      Specified by:
      iterator in class BaseContext

    • performIteratedQuery

      public ResultIterator performIteratedQuery(Query query)
      Performs a single database select query returning result as a ResultIterator. It is caller's responsibility to explicitly close the ResultIterator. A failure to do so will result in a database connection not being released. Another side effect of an open ResultIterator is that an internal Cayenne transaction that originated in this method stays open until the iterator is closed. So users should normally close the iterator within the same thread that opened it.

      Note that 'performIteratedQuery' always returns ResultIterator over DataRows. Use BaseContext.iterate(Select, org.apache.cayenne.ResultIteratorCallback) to get access to objects.

    • performGenericQuery

      public QueryResponse performGenericQuery(Query query)
      Executes a query returning a generic response.

      performGenericQuery in class BaseContext
      Since:
      1.2

    • performQuery

      public List performQuery(Query query)
      Performs a single selecting query. Various query setting control the behavior of this method and the results returned:
      • Query caching policy defines whether the results are retrieved from cache or fetched from the database. Note that queries that use caching must have a name that is used as a caching key.
      • Query refreshing policy controls whether to refresh existing data objects and ignore any cached values.
      • Query data rows policy defines whether the result should be returned as DataObjects or DataRows.

      Since 1.2 takes any Query parameter, not just GenericSelectQuery

      Specified by:
      performQuery in interface ObjectContext
      Specified by:
      performQuery in class BaseContext
      Returns:
      A list of DataObjects or a DataRows, depending on the value returned by QueryMetadata.isFetchingDataRows().

    • onQuery

      public QueryResponse onQuery(ObjectContext context, Query query)
      An implementation of a DataChannel method that is used by child contexts to execute queries. Not intended for direct use.
      Parameters:
      context - an ObjectContext that originated the query, used to register result objects.
      Returns:
      a generic response object that encapsulates result of the execution.

    • performQuery

      public List<?> performQuery(String queryName, boolean expireCachedLists)
      Returns a list of objects or DataRows for a named query stored in one of the DataMaps. Internally Cayenne uses a caching policy defined in the named query. If refresh flag is true, a refresh is forced no matter what the caching policy is.
