Class ViewCriteriaRow

java.lang.Object
oracle.jbo.ViewCriteriaRow

All Implemented Interfaces:

AttributeList, ExprValueSupplier, Row, ViewCriteriaComponent, XMLInterface

Direct Known Subclasses:

ViewCriteria.NestedViewCriteriaRow, ViewCriteriaRowImpl

public class ViewCriteriaRow

extends java.lang.Object

implements Row, ViewCriteriaComponent, ExprValueSupplier

An array containing criteria for the individual attributes of a View Object's WHERE clause.

A ViewCriteriaRow is owned by a ViewCriteria. For an example of a program that uses ViewCriteriaRow methods, see ViewCriteria.

ViewCriteriaRow is built as a Row. You get and set attributes through getAttribute() and setAttribute() method.

The attribute value of a ViewCriteriaRow represents a search criterion to be applied for the View Object's attribute. Each attribute criterion may optionally start with a comparison operator. Here are the operators recognized by ViewCriteriaRow: <, >, =, ~, !, LIKE, IS, IN, NOT, NULL, BETWEEN. If an operator is found, no interpretation of the attribute value occurs. I.e., the attribute value is used as is. This means that for a String attribute, one must put "'" around string constants.

If no operator is specified, for char attributes, the LIKE operator is assumed. For non-char attributes, = operator is assumed. The string constant for LIKE comparison may use "*". "*" is translated to "%".

If multiple attribute criteria are specified in this ViewCriteriaRow, i.e., setAttribute() was called on more than one attribute, the attribute criteria are AND'ed. For example, the following code snippet

    // Create and populate criteria rows to support query-by-example.
    ViewObject empView = appMod.createViewObject("Emp", "mypackage1.EmpView");
    ViewCriteria vc = empView.createViewCriteria();
    ViewCriteriaRow vcRow = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();

    vcRow.setAttribute("Job", "= 'MANAGER'");
    vcRow.setAttribute("Deptno", "= 10");
    vc.addElement(vcRow);
 

will result in the following WHERE clause: "( JOB = 'MANAGER' ) AND ( DEPTNO = 10 )".

Using setUpperColumns(boolean), you can designate that this ViewCriteriaRow should apply UPPER to the database column before comparing it to the attribute criterion. Keep in mind though that the use of UPPER can have a performance consequences for a large data set, as the database engine may not be able to utilize indices for query optimization.

When multiple ViewCriteriaRow's are added to the ViewCriteria, you can specify whether the WHERE clause generated by this ViewCriteriaRow should AND or OR with the previous WHERE clause. You do this through the setConjunction(int) method. You use VCROW_CONJ_ constants to specify the desired conjunction. Note that VCROW_CONJ_NOT can be combined with other VCROW_CONJ_'s through bit-wise OR operator. VCROW_CONJ_NOT negates the entire clause generated from this ViewCriteriaRow. For example,

    // Create and populate criteria rows to support query-by-example.
    ViewObject empView = appMod.createViewObject("Emp", "mypackage1.EmpView");
    ViewCriteria vc = empView.createViewCriteria();
    ViewCriteriaRow vcRow = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();

    vcRow.setAttribute("Job", "MANAGER");
    vc.addElement(vcRow);

    vcRow.setAttribute("Deptno", "= 10");
    vcRow.setConjunction(vcRow.VCROW_CONJ_NOT | vcRow.VCROW_CONJ_AND);
    vc.addElement(vcRow);

    empView.applyViewCriteria(vc);
    empView.executeQuery();
 

will result in a WHERE clause like the following: "( JOB LIKE 'MANAGER' ) AND ( NOT ( DEPTNO = 10 ) )."

writeXML

public Node writeXML(long options,
                     java.util.HashMap map)

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 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.

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

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

writeXML

public Node writeXML(long options,
                     java.util.HashMap map,

Specified by:

writeXML in interface XMLInterface

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:

setNewRowState

public void setNewRowState(byte state)

Description copied from interface: Row

Sets a new unposted row, created in this transaction, to either STATUS_NEW or STATUS_INITIALIZED mode. Calling this method on a row in any other state will be a no-op.

This method should be used to create a row and then to mark it temporary (STATUS_INITIALIZED) so that an app can use the created Row to fill UIs like Table UIs with valid default values for rows. Then when the Row values are updated, UIs should once again call this method to turn the Row into new (STATUS_NEW) state before any setAttribute calls on the Row, so that the changes are validated and posted.

When a created row is in STATUS_NEW (by default) state and this method is called to turn the row in to STATUS_INITIALIZED, all updateable entities that this row comprises of, de=registers themselves from their respective transaction and validation managers. Assocation and ViewLink finders will not find/include these rows. Only the collection into which this row was inserted into will contain a reference to this row and when that collection is re-executed this row cannot be reached via the framework. To include this row again an app should call this method again with STATUS_NEW as the method-argument

When this row is in STATUS_INITIALIZED state and this method is called with STATUS_NEW state then, this new row is added back into it's relevant transaction and validation manager and will then participate in validation, transaction cycles.

Note that incase of composition if a master/detail hierarchy is being created with the intention of making them temporary (STATUS_INITIALIZED) then the logic should be: Create Master row, insert Master row into a collection, create Detail row insert detail row into a relevant collection, make detail row initialized, create/insert/change-to-initialized more detail rows and at the end set the master row as initialized.

Specified by:

setNewRowState in interface Row

Parameters:

state - This could be STATUS_NEW or STATUS_INITIALIZED.

leafOnly - true if the result should only include leaf vc items, ie, items that does not contain nested viewcriteria as values. For items that contains nested vc values, the method would include in the result the leaf vc items of the nested vc. false if vc items containing nested vc value should be included in the result.

Returns:

A list of view criteria items that belong to this row. An empty list is returned if this row contains no view criteria items.
