  oracle.jbo.mom.DefinitionManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

MetaObjectBase

Direct Known Subclasses:

JUMetaObjectManager, MetaObjectManager

public abstract class DefinitionManager
extends java.lang.Object
implements MetaObjectBase

A static class used for accessing meta-objects.

This class contains references to all Business Componenents for Java meta-objects. These classes are loaded from XML through JNDI calls to the appropriate context, and are also loaded at runtime from jboserver.properties.

Since:

Jdeveloper 3.0

removeSessionDefObject

protected java.lang.Object removeSessionDefObject(java.lang.String defObjName)

findLoadedObject

public java.lang.Object findLoadedObject(java.lang.String defObjName)

See DefinitionContext.findDefObj(java.lang.String).

findLoadedSessionObject

public java.lang.Object findLoadedSessionObject(java.lang.String defObjName)

removeAllDefinitions

public void removeAllDefinitions()

Purges the MOM cache for the current thread (which may or may not be shared with other threads, depending upon the scope of the MOM cache).

getMapLock

public java.lang.Object getMapLock()

See DefinitionContext.getCacheLock().

getCurrentApplicationMap

protected java.util.Map getCurrentApplicationMap(boolean create)

Deprecated. since 10.1.3. No direct replacement (but see comments above).

In releases prior to 10.1.3, the map returned by this method was sometimes used as a proxy for the MOM cache. That usage is no longer supported. External clients that were issueing get, put, and remove on the returned Map should instead invoke the findLoadedObject, insertDefinition, and removeDefinition methods directly.

Parameters:

create - Create map if not found?

Returns:

the synchronized name-to-metaobject map for the current application. This won't have the same semantics as in prior releases (because the map values may be DefinitionObjectInfo objects rather than DefinitionObject objects). In future releases, this method may raise an exception.

getDefinitionObjectsMap

protected java.util.HashMap getDefinitionObjectsMap()

Deprecated. since 9.0.5. No direct replacement (but see comments for getCurrentApplicationMap(boolean)).

usesMDSByDefault

protected abstract boolean usesMDSByDefault()

Return an indication as to whether this DefinitionManager instance should use MDS if the application's adf-config.xml does not explicitly indicate true or false. This default value is obtained from a JVM-wide BC4J property. (Actually, that's not currently true for JUMetaObjectManager - see comments in JUMetaObjectManager.usesMDSByDefault()).

Returns:

Should we use MDS for applications that don't specify that info in the app's adf-config.xml?

usesMDS

public boolean usesMDS()

Return an indication as to whether the current application should use MDS for this DefinitionManager instance.

Returns:

Should we use MDS for the current application?

getStatementMonitor

public LongRunningStatementMonitor getStatementMonitor()

Return the LongRunningStatementMonitor that can monitor and terminate long running SQL statements. The monitor runs in its own thread.

Returns:

The LongRunningStatementMonitor instance.

findDefObjectUsingMetadataObject

public java.lang.Object findDefObjectUsingMetadataObject(java.lang.String metaObjectName,
                                                         int exId,
                                                         java.lang.Class claz)

findMetadataObject

public java.lang.Object findMetadataObject(java.lang.String metaObjectName)

Get the Metadata Object

Parameters:

metaObjectName -

Returns:

The MetadataObject. If not found, returns null.
