Constructor Detail

SessionBroker

public SessionBroker()
PUBLIC: Create and return a session broker. Because a session broker has multiple sessions it does not used a login.

Method Detail

acquireClientSessionBroker

public SessionBroker acquireClientSessionBroker()
PUBLIC: Return a session broker that behaves as a client session broker. An aquire session broker is done under the covers on each session inside the session broker, and a new broker is returned. NOTE: when finished with the client broker, it should be releases. See releaseClientSessionBroker.

getSessionNames

public java.util.Vector getSessionNames()
Return the list of sessions associated with this SessionBroker
Returns:
java.util.Vector

setSessionNames

public void setSessionNames(java.util.Vector sessionNames)
Set the list of session names associated with this SessionBroker

acquireUnitOfWork

public oracle.toplink.publicinterface.UnitOfWork acquireUnitOfWork()
PUBLIC: Return a unit of work for this session broker. Acquire a client session broker if is a server session broker.
Specified by:
acquireUnitOfWork in interface Session
Overrides:
acquireUnitOfWork in class oracle.toplink.publicinterface.Session
See Also:
UnitOfWork

addDescriptor

public void addDescriptor(Descriptor descriptor)
PUBLIC: You cannot add a descriptor to a session broker, you must add it to its session.
Specified by:
addDescriptor in interface DatabaseSession
Overrides:
addDescriptor in class oracle.toplink.publicinterface.DatabaseSession
See Also:
DatabaseSession.addDescriptors(Vector), DatabaseSession.addDescriptors(Project)

addDescriptors

public void addDescriptors(java.util.Vector descriptors)
                    throws ValidationException
PUBLIC: You cannot add descriptors to a session broker, you must add them to its session.
Specified by:
addDescriptors in interface DatabaseSession
Overrides:
addDescriptors in class oracle.toplink.publicinterface.DatabaseSession
Throws:
ValidationException

addDescriptors

public void addDescriptors(Project project)
                    throws ValidationException
PUBLIC: You cannot add a project to a session broker, you must add it to its session.
Specified by:
addDescriptors in interface DatabaseSession
Overrides:
addDescriptors in class oracle.toplink.publicinterface.DatabaseSession
Throws:
ValidationException

containsQuery

public boolean containsQuery(java.lang.String queryName)
PUBLIC: Return true if the pre-defined query is defined on the session.
Specified by:
containsQuery in interface Session
Overrides:
containsQuery in class oracle.toplink.publicinterface.Session

getQuery

public DatabaseQuery getQuery(java.lang.String name)
PUBLIC: Return the query from the session pre-defined queries with the given name. This allows for common queries to be pre-defined, reused and executed by name.
Specified by:
getQuery in interface Session
Overrides:
getQuery in class oracle.toplink.publicinterface.Session

getQuery

public DatabaseQuery getQuery(java.lang.String name,
                              java.util.Vector arguments)
PUBLIC: Return the query from the session pre-defined queries with the given name and argument types. This allows for common queries to be pre-defined, reused and executed by name. This method should be used if the Session has multiple queries with the same name but different arguments.
Overrides:
getQuery in class oracle.toplink.publicinterface.Session
See Also:
Session.getQuery(String)

initializeAllIdentityMaps

public void initializeAllIdentityMaps()
PUBLIC:: Reset the entire object cache. This method blows away both this session's and its parents caches, including the server cache or any other cache. This throws away any objects that have been read in. Extream caution should be used before doing this because object identity will no longer be maintained for any objects currently read in. This should only be called if the application knows that it no longer has references to object held in the cache.
Specified by:
initializeAllIdentityMaps in interface Session
Overrides:
initializeAllIdentityMaps in class oracle.toplink.publicinterface.Session

initializeIdentityMaps

public void initializeIdentityMaps()
PUBLIC:: Reset the entire local object caches. This throws away any objects that have been read in. Extream caution should be used before doing this because object identity will no longer be maintained for any objects currently read in. This should only be called if the application knows that it no longer has references to object held in the cache.
Specified by:
initializeIdentityMaps in interface Session
Overrides:
initializeIdentityMaps in class oracle.toplink.publicinterface.Session

isClientSessionBroker

PUBLIC: Return if all sessions are still connected to the database.
Specified by:
isConnected in interface Session
Overrides:
isConnected in class oracle.toplink.publicinterface.Session

isServerSessionBroker

public boolean isServerSessionBroker()
PUBLIC: Return if this session is a server session broker.
