addDynamicAttribute

public AttributeDef addDynamicAttribute(java.lang.String attrName)

Description copied from interface: ViewObject

Adds a dynamic attribute (an AttributeDefImpl) to this view object's row set.

Dynamic attributes are typeless, in that the application can set the attribute value to any object. You can use a dynamic attribute to store information created at runtime that you want to store with the row data. It is used only by the view object that created it. Attributes can be any serializable (java.io.Serializable) object.

This method should not be overridden.

Specified by:

addDynamicAttribute in interface ViewObject

Parameters:

attrName - the name of the dynamic attribute.

Returns:

the attribute definition the newly added dynamic attribute.

addDynamicAttributeWithType

public AttributeDef addDynamicAttributeWithType(java.lang.String attrName,

setWhereClause

public void setWhereClause(java.lang.String cond)

Description copied from interface: ViewObject

Sets a where-clause bind value of the view object's query statement.

Bind variables can be specified using '?' as a place-holder for the value.

The new where-clause does not take effect until RowSet.executeQuery() is called. If the where-clause contains where-clause parameters, RowSet.setWhereClauseParam(int, Object) or RowSet.setWhereClauseParams(Object[]) needs to be called before executeQuery().

Note that calling setWhereClause() does not clear the previous settings of where-clause parameters. To reset where-clause parameters in the middle tier, call RowSet.setWhereClauseParams(Object[]) explicitly with a null value. For example:

 vo.setWhereClauseParams(null);
 

This method should not be overridden.

Specified by:

Specified by:

getWhereClause in interface ViewObject

Returns:

the where-clause, excluding the 'WHERE' keyword; null if no where-clause exists.

the attribute definition if one is found. null if not.

getKeyAttributeDefs

public AttributeDef[] getKeyAttributeDefs()

Description copied from interface: ViewObject

Returns the attribute definitions that make up the constituents of the key object for rows returned from this view object.

This method is used to pass AttributeDef[] to the Key.Key(String, AttributeDef[]) constructor to parse the constituent-bytes and convert them into value-objects that make up the key.

Use this method to find out how the key is composed for the view row. The view object's key is a composite key, consisting of view attributes mapped to the primary keys of its entity objects.

Specified by:

getKeyAttributeDefs in interface ViewObject

Returns:

the array of attribute definitions.

Description copied from interface: ViewObject

Returns the definitions of view attributes that are mapped to the entity attribute identified by the entity name (the eoName parameter) and the entity attribute name (the eoAttrName).

Note that it returns an array because more than one view object attribute may be mapped to one entity attribute.

This method can be used to identify view attributes that map into a particular entity object attribute. In particular, if a validation error fails on an entity attribute, this method can be used to find view attributes that map into that entity attribute.

Specified by:

getAttrDefsForEntityAttr in interface ViewObject

Parameters:

eoName - fully qualified name of the entity object.

eoAttrName - entity object attribute name.

Returns:

the array of attribute definitions.

clearCache

public void clearCache()

Description copied from interface: ViewObject

Clears the view object cache. This method can be called for resource conservation. Calling this method marks the view object and all its row sets as "needing to refresh its data". If another method that requires the result set is called (e.g., executeQuery(), next(), previous()) after this method, the query will be executed and the view object/row set's cache refreshed from the database.

Specified by:

clearCache in interface ViewObject

getMaxFetchSize

setMaxFetchSize

public void setMaxFetchSize(int max)

Description copied from interface: ViewObject

Maximum number of rows to fetch for this view object. This number takes effect the next time the query for this view object is executed.

Passing -1 to this method will retrieve an unlimited number of rows. This is the default.

Passing 0 to this method will cause the database query not to be executed. The view object will initially work with an empty row set. If you want to execute query later, call setMaxFetchSize again with a non-zero argument, then call executeQuery().

Specified by:

setMaxFetchSize in interface ViewObject

Parameters:

max - the maximum number of rows to fetch. The default, -1, retrieves an unlimited number of rows. 0 causes the query not to be executed, and row set is empty.

setQueryOptimizerHint

public void setQueryOptimizerHint(java.lang.String hintText)

Description copied from interface: ViewObject

If this ViewObject does not have an expert mode query, then this hint is added to the select clause of the SQL for this ViewObject before the columns are listed e.g., SELECT \/*+ <hintText> *\/ columns...

getViewObject

public ViewObject getViewObject()

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Gets the view object that owns this row set.

If this row set is the result of calling a view link accessor, the returned view object is an internal view object. ViewObject.isInternal() indicates whether the view object is internal or not. Even if a view link is defined between the master and detail view object, and even if an instance of them are included in the application module's data model, calling the view link by default uses a separate view object instance from the one in the AM's data model. To access the view link accessor's ViewObject, use the following code snippet (assuming that the detail side is called "MyDetail"):

    RowSet detailRS = (RowSet) masterViewRow.getMyDetail();
    ViewObject detailVO = detailRS.getViewObject();
 

Specified by:

getViewObject in interface RowSet

Returns:

the parent view object.

setNamedWhereClauseParams

public void setNamedWhereClauseParams(AttributeList attrlist)

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Sets the value of a named where-clause parameters for the entire viewObject.

Parameters:

attrlist - is a Name, value pair of bind variables.

getNamedWhereClauseParams

public AttributeList getNamedWhereClauseParams()

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Gets all the Name, value pairs of a named where-clause parameter of the viewObject.

It uses the method getNamedWhereClauseParam to return all the name,value pairs from VariableValueManager.

Specified by:

getNamedWhereClauseParams in interface RowSet

Returns:

an AttributeList of name, value pairs of all named bind variables.

setWhereClauseParams

public void setWhereClauseParams(java.lang.Object[] values)

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Specifies the bind variable values to use with the view object's where-clause.

Setting the where-clause bind values through this method does not automatically execute the query. You must call RowSet.executeQuery() to apply the new bind values.

Specified by:

setWhereClauseParams in interface RowSet

Parameters:

values - an array of bind values. If the view object is using the JDBC style bindings ("?" for bind variable), values[n] is bound to the bind variable that appears in the n-th order (0 based indexing). If the view object is using the Oracle style bindings (":1", ":2", etc. for bind variable), values[n] is bound to the bind variable :(n+1), i.e., values[0] is bound to :1, values[1] is bound to :2, etc.

setWhereClauseParam

public void setWhereClauseParam(int index,
                                java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Specifies a single bind variable value to use with the view object's where-clause.

Setting the where-clause bind values through this method does not automatically execute the query. You must call RowSet.executeQuery() to apply the new bind values.

Specified by:

setWhereClauseParam in interface RowSet

Parameters:

index - the index identifying the bind variable. If the view object is using the JDBC style bindings ("?" for bind variable), value is bound to the bind variable that appears in the index-th order (0 based indexing). If the view object is using the Oracle style bindings (":1", ":2", etc. for bind variable), value is bound to the bind variable :(index+1). If index is 0, value is bound to :1. If index is 1, value is bound to :2.

value - the bind variable value.

defineNamedWhereClauseParam

public void defineNamedWhereClauseParam(java.lang.String name,
                                        java.lang.Object defaultValue,
                                        int[] indices)

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Defines a named bind variable to use with the view object's where-clause.

This named where-clause parameter will be defined as a variable on the view object. That is, if a named where-clause parameter is defined through one row set, all other row sets that belongs to the same parent view object will "see" that parameter.

Through the defaultValue, one can specify the default value for this where-clause parameter. If no default value is supplied, null will be used as the parameter value.

The indices parameter specifies where-clause parameter indices into which this named parameter will be bound. The same value can be bound into multiple indices. For example, if { 1, 2 } is specified for indices, the value will be bound for where-clause parameter indices of 1 and 2. I.e., this parameter will produce setWhereClauseParam(1, value) and setWhereClauseParam(2, value).

This method can be invoked to redefine an existing named where-clause paramter (to change the default value and the indices) only if the named parameter is found on the view object. If the named parameter/variable is found on one of the parent objects, a new where-clause parameter definition is still added to the view object.

When redefining, a check is made to ensure that the existing variable has no kind specification (null) or is of the "where" kind (which means that the existing variable is a where-clause parameter). If not, an InvalidParamException is thrown.

Defining a named where-clause parameter does not automatically execute the query. You must call RowSet.executeQuery() to apply the new bind value.

Specified by:

defineNamedWhereClauseParam in interface RowSet

Parameters:

name - the name of the where-clause parameter.

defaultValue - specifies the default value for this where-clause parameter. This default value can be overridden through a call to setNamedWhereClauseParam().

indices - where-clause indices into which this parameter value should be bound. See above.

removeNamedWhereClauseParam

public void removeNamedWhereClauseParam(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Removes a named where-clause parameter.

This method removes previously defined named where-clause parameter. A check is made to ensure that the variable being removed is a where-clause parameter (variable kind = "where"). If not, an InvalidParamException is thrown.

If the named where-clause parameter is found but it does not belong to the view object that owns this row set, an InvalidOperException is thrown. This means one is disallowed from removing a named where-clause parameter that belongs to the View definition, for example.

Removing a named where-clause parameter does not automatically execute the query. You must call RowSet.executeQuery() for the removal to take effect.

Specified by:

removeNamedWhereClauseParam in interface RowSet

Parameters:

name - the name of the where-clause parameter to remove.

getNamedWhereClauseParam

public java.lang.Object getNamedWhereClauseParam(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Sets the value of a named where-clause parameter for this row set.

If the view object owns multiple row sets, each row set may have its own (different) named where-clause parameter value.

Setting a named where-clause parameter does not automatically execute the query. You must call RowSet.executeQuery() to apply the new bind value.

Specified by:

setNamedWhereClauseParam in interface RowSet

Parameters:

name - the name of the where-clause parameter.

value - the where-clause parameter value for this row set.

skipNamedWhereClauseParam

public void skipNamedWhereClauseParam(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Skips the named where-clause parameter for this row set. This method does not remove the named where-clause parameter. However, it "masks out" the named where-clause parameter, so that the parameter is skipped when the query is executed.

Skipping a named where-clause parameter does not automatically execute the query. You must call RowSet.executeQuery() for the skip to take effect.

Specified by:

skipNamedWhereClauseParam in interface RowSet

Parameters:

name - the name of the where-clause parameter.

Strictly speaking, a row set belongs to a view object and the view object to an application module. This method returns the application module that cotains the view object, which contains this row set.

If this row set is the result of calling a View Link accessor, this row set belongs to an internal view object (see ViewObject.isInternal()). Such an internal view object belongs to the root application module. Put differently, if you call this method on a row set which is the result of calling a View Link accessor, it will return the root application module.

Specified by:

getApplicationModule in interface RowSet

Returns:

the ApplicationModule to which this row set belongs.

getEstimatedRowCount

public long getEstimatedRowCount()

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Counts the number of rows in the collection defined by the view object's query.

This method uses a "SELECT COUNT(1) FROM (<query-statement>)" query to obtained the initial count. After that, changes to row count (such as insertion and deletion of rows) is kept up to date.

However, since the row counting query and the query to retrieve actual rows are issued at two different times, it is possible for the accurate count to change between these two points. This is why this method is named getEstimatedRowCount().

Specified by:

getEstimatedRowCount in interface RowSet

Returns:

an estimated number of rows.

getDeferredEstimatedRowCount

public long getDeferredEstimatedRowCount()

Description copied from interface: RowSet

If this ViewObject is marked to not perform the estimatedRowCount query, then return -1 until either the estimatedRowCount is called and the count is known or the RowSet is fetched completely in which case the actual row count is known.

Specified by:

getDeferredEstimatedRowCount in interface RowSet

Returns:

-1 until either EstimatedRowCount or real RowCount is known.

Parameters:

accessMode - One of the four enumerated values RowSet.SCROLLABLE, RowSet.FORWARD_ONLY, RowSet.RANGE_PAGING, RowSet.RANGE_PAGING_AUTO_POST.

getRangePagingCacheFactor

public int getRangePagingCacheFactor()

Specified by:

getRangePagingCacheFactor in interface RowSet

setRangePagingCacheFactor

public void setRangePagingCacheFactor(int f)

Specified by:

setRangePagingCacheFactor in interface RowSet

setAssociationConsistent

public void setAssociationConsistent(boolean isAssociationConsistent)

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Sets the association-consistent flag for this row set.

Association-consistent mode allows the user to see new rows created/inserted through another view object. Note that this mode is effective only for view objects that are entity based. If the view object has no entity base, this mode has no effect.

Suppose we have an entity named E. Suppose two view objects, V1 and V2 are based on E. (V1 and V2 do not have to come from the same view definition.) Suppose the user creates a new row through V1. This creates an instance of E as well. The new entity row is registered only when its primary key is attribute set. At this time, an event is sent out to all view objects based on E, i.e., V1 and V2.

When V2 receives this event, it enumerates through all its collections (essentially its row sets--strictly speaking its query collections) looking for those whose isAssociationConsistent() value is true. For each row set whose flag value is true (say R2), it checks to see if it has any view row mapped to the new entity row. If not, it create a new view row and maps it to the new entity row. A rowInserted event fires.

Thus, from the user's view point, R2 is "seeing" the new row, although the row has not yet been posted to database. Hence, setting this flag to true enables the user to see new rows before the row is posted/queried when the view object is entity based.

If flag is false or if the view object is not entity based, the user needs to post the new row through Transaction.postChanges() and requery the row set through RowSet.executeQuery() to see the new row.

The default value for this flag can be globally controlled through the jbo.viewlink.consistent property. Its value can be true, false, or DEFAULT. If the property is not specified, the default value is DEFAULT. A similar property jbo.assoc.consistent controls whether the new-row-appearing behavior should be supported for row sets returned from entity association accessor calls. For jbo.assoc.consistent, supported values are true or false.

If the property value is set to true, all row sets will have true for its initial isAssociationConsistent() value. If the property value is set to false, all row sets will have false for its initial value. If the property value is set to DEFAULT (which is the default), the view object will use the following logic to compute its initial isAssociationConsistent() value: if the view object has multiple entity bases that are updateable, then the initial value is false. If the view object has a where-clause, then the initial value is false. Otherwise, it is true.

Once this method is called to set the flag value manually, neither the property setting nor the view object's initial flag value has an effect.

Specified by:

setAssociationConsistent in interface RowSet

Parameters:

isAssociationConsistent - indicates whether association-consistency should be on or not.

isAssociationConsistent

public boolean isAssociationConsistent()

Description copied from interface: RowSet

Returns the flag indicating whether association-consistent mode is on or not.

a hashtable of properties.

writeXML

public Node writeXML(int depthCount,
                     long options)

Description copied from interface: XMLInterface

Renders data in a canonical XML-format. The classes ViewObjectImpl and ViewRowImpl implement this method to render data in XML.

Use this method whenever data is required in XML format, either to present a UI (after converting XML data into some HTTP format using a stylesheet) or to pass the data as payload for messages via JMS.

The depthcount parameter represents to what level the rendering should recurse. A depthcount of zero (0) means do not traverse any View Links while rendering. One (1) means traverse the View Links on this object but no View Links thereafter, and so on.

The options parameter represents a set of bit flags that will control the writeXML behavior. The following bit flags have been defined:

• public static long XML_OPT_LIMIT_RANGE = 0x00000001 - Controls whether writeXML will only write rows in the range. If this flag is off, all rows in the row set will be written. If this flag is on, only rows in the current range will be written.
• public static long XML_OPT_CHANGES_ONLY = 0x00000002 - Controls whether only changed attribute values of an entity row is written. If this is on, only the attributes whose value has been marked as "changed" will be written. If this is off, all attributes (regardless of whether the attribute value has been changed or not) will be written. This flag is relevant only when writing EntityImpl.

Specified by:

writeXML in interface XMLInterface

Parameters:

depthCount - represents to what level the rendering should recurse.

options - a set of bit flags that will control the writeXML behavior.

If this is off, all attributes (regardless of whether the attribute value has been changed or not) will be written. This flag is relevant only when writing EntityImpl.

The voAttrMap parameter represents in a hashmap, the mapping between a given ViewObject's definition type and the corresponding Attributes/accessors to render. A null entry in the hashmap means, render all attributes and accessors of that viewobject type.

Specified by:

writeXML in interface XMLInterface

Parameters:

options - a set of bit flags that will control the writeXML

voAttrMap - HashMap containing Definition names of ViewObjects and an array of AttributeDef to render for a ViewObject of that definition type.

getRowSet

public RowSet getRowSet()

Description copied from interface: RowSetIterator

Gets the Row Set that this Iterator belongs to.

Returns:

the owning Row Set.

getDetailRowSets

public RowSet[] getDetailRowSets()

Description copied from interface: RowSetIterator

Gets an array of detail Row Sets for which this Iterator is the master.

In a master-detail relationship in an Application Module, the master in reality is a Row Set Iterator. (Though we often speak of master View Object, in reality, it is the Iterator behind the View Object which is playing the role of the master). Whenever the currency of this master Iterator moves, the detail Row Sets are re-executed to show related Rows.

Calling this method returns an array of Row Sets that are related to this Iterator as detail Row Sets.

Specified by:

getDetailRowSets in interface RowSetIterator

Specified by:

getDetailRowSets in class WSRowSetIteratorBase

Returns:

an array of detail RowSet.

public RowSet createDetailRowSet(java.lang.String rsName,
                                 java.lang.String linkDefName)

Description copied from interface: RowSetIterator

Creates a detail Row Set. See RowSetIterator.getDetailRowSets() for explanation of detail Row Sets.

This method creates a new detail Row Set for this Iterator.

Specified by:

createDetailRowSet in interface RowSetIterator

Specified by:

createDetailRowSet in class WSRowSetIteratorBase

Parameters:

rsName - the name of the new detail Row Set.

linkDefName - the name of a View Link definition. This View Link chooses the relationship in which this Iterator is the master and the new Row Set is the detail. It must be a fully qualified name (including the package name).

Returns:

the new detail Row Set.

closeRowSetIterator

public void closeRowSetIterator()

Description copied from interface: RowSetIterator

Closes this row set iterator. If this row set iterator is a master in a master-detail relationship, closeRowSetIterator closes all detail row sets.

After that, it fires a RowSetManagementListener.iteratorClosed() event to its RowSetManagementListener's.

Then, it deregisters this row set iterator from the owning row set, and deregisters all its listeners.

Specified by:

closeRowSetIterator in interface RowSetIterator

Specified by:

closeRowSetIterator in class WSRowSetIteratorBase

getSyncLock

public java.lang.Object getSyncLock()

Description copied from interface: RowSetIterator

Specified by:

getSyncLock in interface RowSetIterator

Specified by:

getSyncLock in class WSRowSetIteratorBase

Returns:

the locking object.

setRangeSize

public int setRangeSize(int size)

Description copied from interface: RowIterator

Modifies the size of the Row Set Iterator range.

This method takes effect when the next set of data is fetched. For an example usage of setRangeSize, see setRangeStart.

Specified by:

setRangeSize in interface RowIterator

Specified by:

setRangeSize in class WSRowSetIteratorBase

Parameters:

size - the new number of rows in the iterator range. Size of 0 is treated same as 1. Size < -1 is treated same as -1.

Returns:

the new size of the range.

See Also:

RowIterator.setRangeStart(int)

getRangeSize

public int getRangeSize()

Description copied from interface: RowIterator

Gets the size of the Row Set Iterator range.

Specified by:

getRangeSize in interface RowIterator

Specified by:

getRangeSize in class WSRowSetIteratorBase

Returns:

the number of rows in the range.

getRangeStart

public int getRangeStart()

Description copied from interface: RowIterator

Gets the absolute row index of the first row in the Row Set Iterator range.

The absolute index is 0-based, and is the row's index relative to the entire result set.

Specified by:

getRangeStart in interface RowIterator

Specified by:

getRangeStart in class WSRowSetIteratorBase

Returns:

an index.

setRangeStart

public int setRangeStart(int start)

Description copied from interface: RowIterator

Moves the Row Set Iterator range.

Note that the index is 0-based. When you call setRangeStart(1), the range start will be positioned at the second table row.

Another behavior of setRangeStart (and also setRangeSize) is that it tries to position the range, so as to fill up the range as much as possible. For example, assume you have View Object vo focused on a table with four rows (A, B, C, D), and you execute the following code:

     vo.setRangeStart(4);
     vo.setRangeSize(3);
     Row[] rows = vo.getAllRowsInRange();
 

In this case, rows contains the last 3 rows (B, C, D). When you call setRangeStart(4), it will try to position you at row 4. Since the index is 0-based, it finds that there is no row. Since the default range size is 1, it will position you to the last row (row index 3).

Then, when you call getRangeSize(3), it tries to fill up the range from the bottom. This is why you get (B, C, D).

Specified by:

setRangeStart in interface RowIterator

Specified by:

setRangeStart in class WSRowSetIteratorBase

Parameters:

start - the absolute index of the new first row in the Row Set Iterator range.

scrollToRangePage

public int scrollToRangePage(int amount)

Description copied from interface: RowSetIterator

Moves the row set range start to the given page index where every page consists of RangeSize number of rows. PageIndex should start at page number 1.
