Interface BidirectionalDependentDao<I extends Serializable,P extends Storable<I> & Dependable<E>,T extends Transportable<? super T,I> & Dependent<R>,Q extends Transportable<? super Q,I> & Dependent<E>,F,S,E extends Serializable,W extends Storable<E>,R extends Transportable<? super R,E>>

Type Parameters:

I - type of the persistent object and transport object id. This type should be immutable. It is critical this type implements equals() and hashCode() correctly.

P - type of the persistent object

T - type of the transport object with a reference to the owner

Q - type of the transport object with a reference to the owner's id

F - type of the associated filter

S - type of the associated sort specification type

E - type of the owner persistent object and owner transport object id. This type should be immutable. It is critical this type implements equals() and hashCode() correctly

W - type of the owner persistent object

R - type of the owner transport object

Method Detail

create

P create(T transportable,
         W owner,
         DataStoreContext context)

Creates a new persistent object with the data from the given transport object.

Parameters:

transportable - transport object to get the data from.

owner - owner

context - data store context

Returns:

the new created persistent object

update

void update(P target,
            T source,
            DataStoreContext context)

Updates the persistent object related to the given transport object. This method is meant to be called by the owner. No need to re-load the dependent storable since the owner already loads it.

Parameters:

target - object to update

source - object to take the data from

context - data store context

update

P update(Q transportable,
         DataStoreContext context)

Updates the persistent object related to the given transport object.

Parameters:

transportable - transport object to get the data from

context - data store context

Returns:

the updated persistent object

convert

T convert(P storable,
          R owner)

Converts the storable object to a transportable.

Parameters:

storable - storable object to convert

owner - the storable object's owner

Returns:

the transport object representing the state of the given storable

convert

T convert(P storable,
          BaseDao<E,W,R,?,?> ownerDao,
          Converter<W,R> ownerConverter,
          DataStoreContext context)

Converts the storable object to a transportable. This call will load the owner from the database.

Example when owner is a Dao

 Dao<E, W, R, ?, ?> ownerDao = ...;
 BidirectionalDependentDao<I, P, T, ?, ?, ?, E, W, R> dependentDao = ...;
 DataStoreContext context = ...;
 P storable = ...;
 T transportable = dependentDao.convert(storable, ownerDao, ownerDao, context);
 

Example when owner is a BidirectionalDependentDao

 final Dao<H, M, N, ?, ?> rootOwnerDao = ...;
 final BidirectionalDependentDao<E, W, R, ?, ?, ?, H, M, N> dependentOwnerDao = ...;
 BidirectionalDependentDao<I, P, T, ?, ?, ?, E, W, R> dependentDao = ...;
 final DataStoreContext context = ...;
 
 Converter<W, R> dependentOwnerConverter = new Converter<W, R>() {
      @Override
     public R convert(W source) {
         return dependentOwnerDao.convert(source, rootOwnerDao, rootOwnerDao, context);
     }
 }; 
 
 P storable = ...;
 T transportable = dependentDao.convert(storable, dependentOwnerDao, dependentOwnerConverter, context);
 

Parameters:

storable - storable object to convert

ownerDao - owner dao to load the owner from the database

ownerConverter - converter to use to convert the owner persistent object to a transport object

context - data store context

Returns:

the transport object representing the state of the given storable
