    • select

      public List<T> select(ObjectContext context)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: Select
      Selects objects using provided context.

      Essentially the inversion of "ObjectContext.select(Select)".

      Specified by:
      select in interface Select<T>

    • selectOne

      public T selectOne(ObjectContext context)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: Select
      Selects a single object using provided context. The query is expected to match zero or one object. It returns null if no objects were matched. If query matched more than one object, CayenneRuntimeException is thrown.

      Essentially the inversion of "ObjectContext.selectOne(Select)".

      Specified by:
      selectOne in interface Select<T>

    • selectFirst

      public T selectFirst(ObjectContext context)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: Select
      Selects a single object using provided context. The query itself can match any number of objects, but will return only the first one. It returns null if no objects were matched.

      If it matched more than one object, the first object from the list is returned. This makes 'selectFirst' different from Select.selectOne(ObjectContext), which would throw in this situation. 'selectFirst' is useful e.g. when the query is ordered and we only want to see the first object (e.g. "most recent news article"), etc.

      Selecting the first object via "Select.selectFirst(ObjectContext)" is more comprehensible than selecting via "ObjectContext.selectFirst(Select)", because implementations of "Select" set fetch size limit to one.

      selectFirst in interface Select<T>

    • iterate

      public void iterate(ObjectContext context, ResultIteratorCallback<T> callback)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: Select
      Creates a ResultIterator based on the provided context and passes it to a callback for processing. The caller does not need to worry about closing the iterator. This method takes care of it.

      Essentially the inversion of "ObjectContext.iterate(Select, ResultIteratorCallback)".

      Specified by:
      iterate in interface Select<T>

    • iterator

      public ResultIterator<T> iterator(ObjectContext context)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: Select
      Creates a ResultIterator based on the provided context. 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 Select.iterate(ObjectContext, ResultIteratorCallback) as an alternative.

      Essentially the inversion of "ObjectContext.iterator(Select)".

      Specified by:
      iterator in interface Select<T>

    • batchIterator

      public ResultBatchIterator<T> batchIterator(ObjectContext context, int size)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: Select
      Creates a ResultBatchIterator based on the provided context and batch size. 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 ResultBatchIterator explicitly.

      Returns pageSize property. See setPageSize for more details.

    • setPageSize

      public void setPageSize(int pageSize)
      Deprecated.
      Sets pageSize property. By setting a page size, the Collection returned by performing a query will return hollow DataObjects. This is considerably faster and uses a tiny fraction of the memory compared to a non-paged query when large numbers of objects are returned in the result. When a hollow DataObject is accessed all DataObjects on the same page will be faulted into memory. There will be a small delay when faulting objects while the data is fetched from the data source, but otherwise you do not need to do anything special to access data in hollow objects. The first page is always faulted into memory immediately.
      Parameters:
      pageSize - The pageSize to set
