Class ReferenceID

java.lang.Object
  oracle.javatools.db.AbstractDBObjectID
      oracle.javatools.db.BaseObjectID
          oracle.javatools.db.ReferenceID

All Implemented Interfaces:

ColumnConstraintReferenceID, DBObjectID, DBReferenceID, Copyable

Direct Known Subclasses:

NameBasedRefID

public class ReferenceID
extends BaseObjectID
implements ColumnConstraintReferenceID

ID implementation used for a reference property - i.e. a reference to an object that may not exist in a provider. The ID can potentially contain more metadata about the referenced object than just the name/type/schema so that reference properties can retain sufficient information about the referenced object so as to be able to still function.

Method Detail

construct

public void construct(java.lang.String id)

construct in class BaseObjectID

Parameters:

id - The ID in string form.

getChildObjectNames

setChildObjectNames

public final void setChildObjectNames(java.lang.String[] names)

getSubType

public final java.lang.String getSubType()

Description copied from interface: DBReferenceID

Retrieves the sub-type of object referenced by this id. For exmaple, the collection type for User Defined types, or the constraint type of Constraints.

Specified by:

getSubType in interface DBReferenceID

Returns:

the sub-type of object

setSubType

public final void setSubType(java.lang.String subType)

getDatabaseName

public final java.lang.String getDatabaseName()

setDatabaseName

public final void setDatabaseName(java.lang.String linkName)

getIdentifier

See Also:

getIdentifier()

resolveReference

@Deprecated
public final DBObject resolveReference(Database db)

Deprecated.

Use DBUtil.resolveInOtherProvider(oracle.javatools.db.BaseObjectID, oracle.javatools.db.DBObjectProvider)

Specified by:

resolveReference in interface DBReferenceID

getNewID

@Deprecated
public final DBObjectID getNewID()

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: DBReferenceID

This ID is used to reference an object in the database. If it is used by an object that is now in another provider then this method will return the ID of the object in that new provider.

Specified by:

getNewID in interface DBReferenceID

See Also:

DBReferenceID.resolveID()

getColumnNames

@Deprecated
public final java.lang.String[] getColumnNames()

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ColumnConstraintReferenceID

Returns the list of names of Columns in the Referenced Primary/Unique Constraint.

Specified by:

getColumnNames in interface ColumnConstraintReferenceID

equalsImpl

protected boolean equalsImpl(DBObjectID id,
                             boolean strict)

Description copied from class: AbstractDBObjectID

Subclasses should implement as appropriate to their equals implementation, calling AbstractDBObjectID.equalsImpl(AbstractDBObjectID) when appropriate.

Specified by:

equalsImpl in class AbstractDBObjectID

equalsImpl

protected boolean equalsImpl(ReferenceID id)

copyTo

public java.lang.Object copyTo(java.lang.Object target)

Description copied from interface: Copyable

Copies the internal state of this object to the specified copy. If copy is null, then this method should create a new instance of this class and proceed to copy the internal state to the newly created object. Generally, only the persistent state of the object should be copied, but whether or not it is appropriate to copy transient properties is at the discretion of the individual implementor.

Regardless of whether the copy occurs to an existing object or to a newly created object, the return value is object to which this object's state was copied.

There is a standard implementation pattern for the copyTo method that helps avoid problems that arise when a Copyable object is subclassed. The pattern is:

    public Object copyTo( Object target )
    {
      final <this_class> copy =
        target != null ? (<this_class>) target : new <this_class>();
      copyToImpl( copy );
      return copy;
    }

    protected final void copyToImpl( <this_class> copy )
    {
      super.copyToImpl( copy );  //  if necessary
      //  put code here for copying the properties of <this_class>
    }
  

The parameter passed into the copyToImpl method is the same type of this class. The responsibility of copyToImpl is to copy the state of this class through direct access of the fields. The copyToImpl method should not use getters and setters since these may be overridden, causing the state of this class to be incompletely copied.

Specified by:

copyTo in interface Copyable

Parameters:

target - The target object to which the state of this object should be copied. If target is null, then the copyTo method will return a new instance of this class.

Returns:

The object to which the state of this object was copied. If the target was non-null, then the return value is the same as the target object that was passed in; otherwise, the return value is a new instance of this class.

copyToImpl

protected void copyToImpl(ReferenceID target)

toStringImpl

protected java.lang.String toStringImpl()

Specified by:

toStringImpl in class BaseObjectID

resolveID

public DBObject resolveID()
                   throws DBException
