Class DBTransactionImpl

java.lang.Object
  oracle.jbo.server.DBTransactionImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

PCollManagerHelper, JboTransAttrValidationManager, JboTransValidationManager, DBTransaction, ValidationManager, Transaction

Direct Known Subclasses:

DBTransactionImpl2

public class DBTransactionImpl
extends java.lang.Object
implements DBTransaction, PCollManagerHelper, JboTransValidationManager, JboTransAttrValidationManager

The superclass of classes representing connections of middle-tier objects to databases.

Instances encapsulate the JDBC connection, provide commit() and rollback() operations, and maintain various internal framework states, events and caches of entity data.

Advanced applications can provide custom subclass implementations using DatabaseTransactionFactory.

From 9.0.3 onwards, this class is no longer used to represent a connected transaction. The connected state, by default, is now represented by DBTransactionImpl2. Applications using custom DBTransactionImpl and/or NullDBTransactionImpl subclass(es) should now subclass DBTransactionImpl2 instead.

Applications requiring backward compatibility must set the jbo.server.useNullDbTransaction property to true in appmodule configuration, initial context environment or as a System property to continue using this class as the default implementation for representing connected DBTransaction.

Using Anonymous View Objects

The DBTransactionImpl class has these methods for creating View Objects:

• createViewObject
• creatViewObjectFromQueryClauses
• createViewObjectFromQueryName

In contrast to the "create View Object" methods on the ApplicationModuleImpl class, the methods on DBTransaction do not take a String voNname parameter. These methods create anonymous View Objects on the database transaction. Anonymous View Objects do not require an Application Module. An anonymous View Object is a View Object to which you do not give a name and that is usually used locally. For example, you could use an anonymous View Object when you want to perform a query (for example, a look-up) through a View Object, then remove it.

Anonymous View Objects should not be passed around between Application Modules. As soon as the anonymous View Object has performed its task, it should be discarded with the View Object remove() method.

Using anonymous View Objects also lets you avoid name clashes between View Objects. For example, if one Entity Object developer builds some code that is expecting to create a View Object in its own Application Module with a name like "temp" and another unrelated Entity Object developer builds some code that is expecting to work with a View Object in its own Application Module named "temp" (but which is for a totally different View Object), then if an application required both of these Application Modules to works as peers, name clashes could result.

The method getDBTransaction().createViewObject() creates a View Object from a definition created at design time which can be based on Entity Objects just like the ones you might have been creating with the createViewObject from the ApplicationModule class.

The DBTransactionImpl class also has createViewObjectFromQueryStmt and createViewObjectFromQueryClauses just like the Application Module class does; all of the same functionality is available to the Entity Object business logic writer.

The only difference is that the DBTransactionImpl class approach forces the Entity Object business logic writer to not pre-select an "instance" name for the View Object being used (the equivalent of calling the Application Module-level methods with a null instance name argument) so that the system ensures the "instance" names are unique and no unintended clashes occur.

To illustrate the differences between using the create View Object methods on the Application Module class versus the DBTransaction class, consider the following code snippets. Assume you have a method called doSomething() on an Entity Object to implement some operation. Two possible implementations are:

  // Implementation 1
 public void doSomething() {
     DBTransaction txn = this.getDBTransaction();
     ViewObject vo1 =
 txn.createViewObject("myPackage.MyFirstViewObject");
     ViewObject vo2 =
 txn.createViewObject("myPackage.MySecondViewObject");

     // Do something here...

     vo1.remove();
     vo2.remove();
 }

 // Implementation 2
 public void doSomething() {
     DBTransaction txn = this.getDBTransaction();
     MyApplicationModule am =
 txn.createApplicationModule("myPackage.MyAppModule");
     ViewObject vo1 = am.getMyFirstViewObject();
     ViewObject vo2 = am.getMySecondViewObject();

     // Do the same something here...

     am.remove();
 }
 

The following lists compare the advantages and disadvangages of each implementation.

Implementation 1:

• advantage:
• Less trouble than implementing a Application Module.
• disadvantages:
• Provides no encapsulation and reuse of any inter-View Object functionality.
• If the lifecycle extends beyond the scope of one method, then the Entity must be responsible for removing each component.
• Sharing the View Object instance across various Entities may be more trouble (the row that holds the View Object needs to be found).

Implementation 2:

• advantages:
• Provides better encapsulation and reuse.
• Simplifies lifecycle managment by isolating component removable in the Application Module remove() implementation.
• Simplifies namespace management; for example, finding View Object instances given a textual name.
• disadvantage:
• A little extra work (requires creating an Application Module).

Generally, the motivation for separating code out into an Application Module would be the same as the general motivation for separating code out into a different a class.

In that sense, you may choose to take your example one step further and move the "Do Something Here" code into the Application Module class:

 // Implementation 3
 public void doSomething() {
     DBTransaction txn = this.getDBTransaction();
     MyApplicationModule am = (MyApplicationModule)
 txn.createApplicationModule("myPackage.MyAppModule");
     am.doSomethingThere(...);
     am.remove();
 }
  

Implementations 1 and 2 are both correct approaches. Creating a nested Application Module is good for multi-View Object data models, and DbTransaction is good for simple one-off queries. If your application is using one-off queries most of the time, you might find that the extra overhead of creating an Application Module "container" might not add sufficient value.

Returns true if the lock mode for this transaction is optimistic.

Specified by:

isLockOptimistic in interface DBTransaction

Returns:

true if the locking mode is LOCK_OPTIMISTIC or LOCK_OPTUPDATE.

getPersistManagerConnection

public java.sql.Connection getPersistManagerConnection()

Internal: Applications should not use this api. Returns the connection used by PersistentCollection apis.

closeTransaction

public void closeTransaction()

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

Closes this transaction's JDBC connection.

Performs rollback on the current transaction to reset all the data in the cache to their initial states and then drops the JDBC connection. This method is invoked by disconnect to terminate the JDBC connection. Applications should use disconnect() instead of closeTransaction() to properly release JDBC resources.

Specified by:

closeTransaction in interface DBTransaction

setBundledExceptionMode

public void setBundledExceptionMode(boolean flag)

Description copied from interface: Transaction

Set this transaction into bundled exception mode. In this mode, all exceptions thrown during updates to rows will be cached by the entity-cache. However when the rows are validated either by explicit validation call or when the transaction is committed, these exceptions will be thrown bundled in a RowValException. When in bundledException mode, validation code in setXXX methods on the Entity will be executed and if a ValidationException is thrown from these methods, they're cached by the Entity and thrown later as a detail of RowValException when the Entity is eventually validated.

Specified by:

setBundledExceptionMode in interface Transaction

isBundledExceptionMode

public final boolean isBundledExceptionMode()

Specified by:

isBundledExceptionMode in interface Transaction

getSQLBuilder

public SQLBuilder getSQLBuilder()

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

Identifies the SQLBuilder that is used by this driver. In the runtime, the SQLBuilder that is used depends on whether the JDBC driver is Oracle-specific or non-Oracle-specific.

Specified by:

getSQLBuilder in interface DBTransaction

Returns:

the SQLBuilder used by the current JDBC driver.

isClearCacheOnCommit

public boolean isClearCacheOnCommit()

Returns the flag indicating whether all Entity Object caches will be cleared after the transaction is committed.

After the transaction is committed, the value of this flag is used to determine whether the Entity Object caches are cleared or not. If this flag value is false, the cache contents are kept. In this case, the cache may contain data that is stale in that it does not match the newest data (changes made by another user and committed).

If this flag is true, the caches are cleared after the transaction is committed. When the user brings in data by traversing row collection, the latest data from the database will be brought into Entity caches.

Specified by:

isClearCacheOnCommit in interface Transaction

Returns:

the current value of clear-cache-on-commit flag.

See Also:

RowSet.executeQuery(), setClearCacheOnCommit(boolean val), Transaction.isClearCacheOnCommit(), Transaction.setClearCacheOnCommit(boolean val)

setClearCacheOnCommit

public void setClearCacheOnCommit(boolean val)

Sets the value of the flag indicating whether all Entity Object caches will be cleared after the transaction is committed.

The initial value of this flag is retrieved from the Application Module definition of the root Application Module (an XML attribute value named "ClearCacheOnCommit" in the Application Module definition's XML file). If the Application Module definition does not contain the initial value, the default value is false, i.e., the caches are kept after commit.

The user can override the value of this flag for this Transaction by calling this method. Calling this method does not affect the initial value in the Application Module definition.

Specified by:

setClearCacheOnCommit in interface Transaction

Parameters:

val - the new value of the clear-cache-on-commit flag. true indicates that the Entity Object caches will be cleared after commit.

See Also:

isClearCacheOnCommit(), Transaction.isClearCacheOnCommit(), Transaction.setClearCacheOnCommit(boolean)

isClearCacheOnRollback

public boolean isClearCacheOnRollback()

Returns the flag indicating whether all Entity Object caches will be cleared after the transaction is rolled back.

After the transaction is rolled back, the value of this flag is used to determine whether the Entity Object caches are cleared or not. If this flag value is false, the cache contents are kept. In this case, the cache may contain data that is not in sync with database in that uncommitted changes made this by user (before the transaction was rolled back) will be kept.

If this flag is true, the caches are cleared after the transaction is rolled back. When the user brings in data by traversing row collection, the latest data from the database will be brought into Entity caches.

Specified by:

isClearCacheOnRollback in interface Transaction

Returns:

the current value of clear-cache-on-roll-back flag.

See Also:

RowSet.executeQuery(), setClearCacheOnRollback(boolean val), Transaction.isClearCacheOnCommit(), Transaction.setClearCacheOnCommit(boolean val)

setClearCacheOnRollback

public void setClearCacheOnRollback(boolean val)

Sets the value of the flag indicating whether all Entity Object caches will be cleared after the transaction is rolled back.

The initial value of this flag is retrieved from the Application Module definition of the root Application Module (an XML attribute value named "ClearCacheOnRollback" in the Application Module definition's XML file). If the Application Module definition does not contain the initial value, the default value is true, i.e., the caches are cleared after rollback.

The user can override the value of this flag for this Transaction by calling this method. Calling this method does not affect the initial value in the Application Module definition.

Specified by:

setClearCacheOnRollback in interface Transaction

Parameters:

val - the new value of the clear-cache-on-roll-back flag. true indicates that the Entity Object caches will be cleared after rollback, and will be refreshed with new data from the database.

See Also:

isClearCacheOnRollback(), Transaction.setClearCacheOnRollback(boolean), Transaction.isClearCacheOnRollback()

doValidatePostChanges

public void doValidatePostChanges()

invoke validate() and postChanges() iteratively based on validateThreshold and postThreshold setting.

doBeforeCommit

public void doBeforeCommit()

doAfterCommit

public void doAfterCommit()

commit

public void commit()

Commits all changes in this transaction to the database, making them visible to other users and transactions. This method is called on the Application Module's transaction. For example:

     appMod.getTransaction().commit();
 

When the commit process begins multiple attempts are made to validate all objects in the list of validation listeners, depending on the setting of the validation threshold. After each attempt, top-level entities that are still invalid will remain in the list. If any remain after the last attempt, a failure exception is thrown.

Each listed TransactionPostListener is notified to post any changes to the database using the postChanges method. Non-transient listeners are notified first, followed by transient listeners. The post phase is repeated, the number of repetitions depending on the setting of the validation threshold. If any invalid objects remain after the last repetition, a failure exception is thrown.

Following validation, no further changes to data should be made until the commit operation is completed.

Finally, beforeCommit events are posted to the listeners, the data is committed, afterCommit events are posted, and transient listeners are deleted from the transaction. For both beforeCommit and afterCommit events, non-transient listeners preceed transient listeners.

Note, if your Application Module is an EJB session bean, a new transaction is started for you automatically after calling commit. You do not have to explicitly start a new transaction.

commitAndSaveChangeSet

public int commitAndSaveChangeSet()

Description copied from interface: Transaction

Commits the transaction and writes updated EntityImpls to the persistent store.

This method (along with applyChangeSet and removeChangeSet is used to synchronize the cache between root Application Module instances in an Application Module pool.

commitAndSaveChangeSet commits the transaction, but during the commit process, writes out "changed" EntityImpls to the persistent store. These changes are stored as a "change set". The change set can then be applied to other transactions (that is, to the Entity caches of other root Application Modules).

The integer value returned by this method identifies the change set that is stored in persistent store.

To apply the changes to another transaction (or Application Module cache), call Transaction.applyChangeSet(int) where int is the integer value returned by commitAndSaveChangeSet that represents the change set.

For example, assume you have two root Application Modules, named am1 and am2, in an Application Module pool.

  // The line below commits the transaction in am1 and writes the change
  // set to persistent store (database table).  The returning snapId
  // identifies the (persistent) change set.

  int snapId = am1.getTransaction().commitAndSaveChangeSet();

  // Use that change set and apply the changes to the other Application
  // Module, am2.  That is, apply changes from am1 to am2.

  am2.getTransaction().applyChangeSet(snapId);

  // When you are done with the change set, remove (free) it.

  am1.getTransaction().removeChangeSet(snapId);
 

Specified by:

commitAndSaveChangeSet in interface Transaction

Returns:

an integer representing an EntityImpl change set in persistent store.

Transaction.applyChangeSet(int), Transaction.removeChangeSet(int)

applyChangeSet

public void applyChangeSet(int id)

Description copied from interface: Transaction

Applies the changes committed by another transaction in order to synchronize caches between root Application Module instances.

This method (along with commitAndSaveChangeSet and removeChangeSet is used to synchronize the cache between root Application Module instances in an Application Module pool.

Call applyChangeSet to apply changes commited by another transaction. The integer id parameter (returned by commitAndSaveChangeSet) identifies the change set to be found in the persistent store.

After this call, this transaction's cache is synchronized with the changes from the change set.

For an example of how to use applyChangeSet, see commitAndSaveChangeSet.

Specified by:

applyChangeSet in interface Transaction

Parameters:

id - an integer representing the change set to apply to the transaction.

See Also:

Transaction.commitAndSaveChangeSet(), Transaction.removeChangeSet(int)

removeChangeSet

public void removeChangeSet(int id)

Description copied from interface: Transaction

Removes the change set that defines the changes to EntityImpls within a transaction.

This method (along with commitAndSaveChangeSet and applyChangeSet is used to synchronize the cache between root Application Module instances in an Application Module pool.

For an example of how to use removeChangeSet, see commitAndSaveChangeSet.

Specified by:

removeChangeSet in interface Transaction

Parameters:

id - an integer representing the change set to remove from the persistent store.

See Also:

Transaction.commitAndSaveChangeSet(), Transaction.applyChangeSet(int)

rollback

public void rollback()

Discards all modifications made in this transaction. This method is called on the Application Module's transaction. For example:

     appMod.getTransaction().rollback();
 

When this method is invoked, beforeRollback events are posted to the listeners, the changes are discarded, afterRollback events are posted, and transient listeners are deleted from the transaction. For both events, non-transient listeners preceed transient listeners.

In the following example, a method named updateAttr has been implemented to update a row of a View Object vo with the value newAttrVal. If updateAttr succeeds (returns true), the code commits the transaction; otherwise, it rolls the transaction back:

 // Assume that appMod has been declared and initialized elsewhere.
   try {  if (updateAttr(vo, newAttrVal)) {
       // Commit changes to the database, making
       // updated data available to other Application Modules.
       appMod.getTransaction().commit();
       System.out.println("\n Transaction committed. \n");
     }
   else {
       appMod.getTransaction().rollback();
       System.out.println("\n Transaction rolled back. \n");
    }
 } catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
 }
 

Note, if your Application Module is an EJB session bean, a new transaction is started for you automatically after calling rollback. You do not have to explicitly start a new transaction.

addTransactionListener

public void addTransactionListener(TransactionListener listener)

Adds a listener to the transaction's list.

Listeners are notified of the commit and rollback events generated by the commit and rollback methods. The framework adds modified top-level Entity Objects to this list.

This method is available only on the middle tier; it is not available on the client.

This method should not be overridden.

Specified by:

addTransactionListener in interface DBTransaction

Parameters:

listener - the subscriber to be added.

See Also:

commit(), rollback()

addTransactionListenerNoCheck

public void addTransactionListenerNoCheck(TransactionListener listener)

Internal: Applications should not call this method.

Listeners are notified of the commit and rollback events generated by the commit and rollback methods. The framework adds modified top-level Entity Objects to this list.

Specified by:

addTransactionListenerNoCheck in interface DBTransaction

Parameters:

listener - the subscriber to be added.

addTransactionPostListener

public void addTransactionPostListener(TransactionPostListener listener)

Adds a subscriber to the transaction's post-events list.

When postChanges is invoked, each listed TransactionPostListener is notified to post any changes to the database.

postChanges()

addTransactionPostListenerNoCheck

public void addTransactionPostListenerNoCheck(TransactionPostListener listener)

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

Adds a subscriber to the transaction's post-events list, without checking if it is already present.

When postChanges() is invoked, each listed TransactionPostListener is notified to post any changes to the database.

Specified by:

addTransactionPostListenerNoCheck in interface DBTransaction

Parameters:

listener - the subscriber to be added.

See Also:

postChanges()

removeTransactionPostListener

public void removeTransactionPostListener(TransactionPostListener listener)

Removes a subscriber from the transaction's post-events list.

Specified by:

removeTransactionPostListener in interface DBTransaction

Parameters:

listener - the subscriber to be removed.

postChanges

public void postChanges()

Synchronizes the changes in the middle-tier transaction-cache with the database.

This method bypasses the validation cycle and can allow invalid data to be posted to the database. As a side effect of this method, database triggers or other constraints might be fired as a result of posting data. However, invalid changes cannot be committed, as the commit() method validates all changes before committing them.

Typically, applications should call this method if they must execute SQL operations or queries with the current cached-state of data, before validating the changes.

setBatchModeForEntity

public void setBatchModeForEntity(EntityDefImpl def,
                                  boolean mode)

Sets the updatebatching (Batch post operations) mode on or off for a given entity type in this transaction.

Parameters:

def - - Def for the desired entity type

mode - - whether to turn batch updates on or off. if false rest of the arguments are ignored. If attribute list is null or has no elements, then Def is consulted for any default setting in the def for AttributeLists for these purposes. If Def does not have an attribute list then ALL attributes participate in the concerned operation.

postChanges

protected void postChanges(TransactionEvent te)

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

Synchronizes all the changes in this transaction-cache with the database. These changes are still not visible to other users/transaction.

Executes a savepoint before starting to post any changes. Then, all non-transient and transient TransactionPostListeners are notified to post their changes, in that order. In case of any exception, rollsback the transaction to the savepoint. and throws DMLException.

For Entity types that are marked to use batch update in case of oracle jdbc, first a maximal-attribute-changed-set is collected for each entity-type so that batch statements could be created for all changes. Then postChanges() is called on all the entities in the transaction just like in the normal case, but entity does not execute the dml, instead simply adds the DML to a batched statement which is executed after all entities are done adding their changes to the batch. Then for each entity type that has batched statements executes the batches (deletes first, followed by inserts and then updates). On any eror during the batch operations, the entire transaction is rolled back to the savepoint as described earlier.

hasRollbackSavePoint

createStatement

public java.sql.Statement createStatement(int noRowsPrefetch)

Description copied from interface: DBTransaction

Returns:

a JDBC Statement instance.

createCallableStatement

public java.sql.CallableStatement createCallableStatement(java.lang.String str,
                                                          int noRowsPrefetch)

Description copied from interface: DBTransaction

Creates a JDBC CallableStatement instance.

Applications may use this method to create a JDBC callable statement object to execute application-specific SQL statements directly, so that the modifications are committed to the database in a single transaction through this object.

Specified by:

createCallableStatement in interface DBTransaction

Parameters:

str - the CallableStatement instance's SQL statement.

noRowsPrefetch - the number of rows to prefetch when executing this statement's query. If this parameter is set to DBTransaction.DEFAULT, then the default value from the jdbc driver is used.

Returns:

a JDBC CallableStatement instance.

createPreparedStatement

public java.sql.PreparedStatement createPreparedStatement(java.lang.String str,
                                                          int noRowsPrefetch)

Description copied from interface: DBTransaction

Creates a JDBC PreparedStatement instance.

Applications may use this method to create a JDBC callable statement object to execute application specific SQL statements directly, so that the modifications are committed to the database in a single transaction through this object.

Specified by:

createPreparedStatement in interface DBTransaction

Parameters:

str - the PreparedStatement instance's SQL statement.

noRowsPrefetch - the number of rows to prefetch when executing this statement's query. If this parameter is set to DBTransaction.DEFAULT, then the default value from the jdbc driver is used.

Returns:

a JDBC PreparedStatement instance.

executeCommand

public int executeCommand(java.lang.String command)

Executes a SQL command using a JDBC Statement under the current transaction. Applications should use this method to execute application-specific JDBC statements.

This method provides a way of bypassing the framework to query the database directly. Internally, the method passes the specified SQL command to a statement on the JDBC connection and executes it.

The following code example uses executeCommand. The SQL string is designed to update the EMP table. This example passes the string to executeCommand, then prints a message to report how many rows were actually updated.

 public static void demoUpdateColumn(ApplicationModule appMod) {
     String sqlStr = "UPDATE EMP " +
                     "SET MGR=7007 " +
                     "WHERE MGR=7698 ";

     int n = appMod.getTransaction().executeCommand(sqlStr);
     System.out.println("Updated " + n + " rows.");
   }
 

Be careful when using executeCommand, because it will execute any valid SQL statement. For example, you could perform an operation like the following DDL command:

 appMod.getTransaction().executeCommand("DROP TABLE MYTEMPTABLE");
 

A pending database transaction could be committed inadvertently due to the implicit commit performed by DDL operations, as well as having any row locks released.

Specified by:

executeCommand in interface Transaction

Parameters:

command - a valid SQL statement.

Returns:

the number of rows affected.

Throws:

InvalidParamException - if command is empty.

SQLStmtException - if command fails.

dumpQueryResult

                                        java.lang.String[] data)

Writes the result of the query to a (potentially very long) string. It takes three parameters: the first is the SQL query statement. The second is the class that dumps the result to a string. This class must implement the oracle.jbo.server.QueryDump interface. The implementation of this class decides what to do with the third, data parameter (which can be null). This is a utility method for testing and debugging queries and applications.

The following code example uses dumpQueryResult.

 public static void demoSimpleFetch(ApplicationModule appMod) {
       // Define and execute a simple SQL statement.
       String sqlStr = "SELECT Emp.ename FROM EMP Emp ";
       // dumpQueryResult is a utility method for testing queries.
       String result = appMod.getTransaction().dumpQueryResult(sqlStr,
                                    "oracle.jbo.server.QueryDumpTab",
                                      null);

 System.out.println(sqlStr);
 System.out.println(result);  }

getConnectionMetadata

public ConnectionMetadata getConnectionMetadata()

Description copied from interface: Transaction

Returns a metdata structure that describes the transaction's JDBC connection.

Specified by:

getConnectionMetadata in interface Transaction

isConnected

public boolean isConnected()

Checks if the transaction is connected to the database. In a three-tier scenario, clients can call this method to check if the middle tier is connected to the database.

Specified by:

isConnected in interface Transaction

Returns:

true if connected; false if disconnected.

disconnect

public void disconnect(boolean retainState)

Closes the JDBC connection object. If disconnect is invoked with retainState equal to false then the JDBC connection will be closed and this transaction will be removed* from the root application module.

If disconnect is invoked with retainState equal to true then this transaction's JDBC connection will be closed but, the root application module will continue to reference this transaction and its state. The transaction state may include unposted database changes and cached result sets. In the middle tier, reconnect on the DBTransaction interface may be invoked to re-establish a JDBC connection for this transaction. If connection pooling is enabled for this middle tier instance this connection may represent a recycled connection.

The developer should take measures to ensure that the following requirements are met before attempting to disconnect a JDBC connection and retain application module state. All of these validations are not currently performed by the disconnection implementation because of performance considerations:

All non-forward only view objects should have fetched in all data

If pessimistic locking is enabled, all pending changes should be commited/rolled back.

All changes that have been posted to the database should be commited/rolled back>/p>

Specified by:

disconnect in interface DBTransaction

Specified by:

disconnect in interface Transaction

reconnect

public void reconnect()

Reconnect the ApplicationModule to the database, using previously supplied database credentials. This method should only be invoked if the transaction has been previously disconnected using disconnect(boolean) with the retainState parameter equal to true or, if a previous isConnected() request had discovered a stale JDBC connection. If it is invoked otherwise the method will do nothing.

Specified by:

reconnect in interface DBTransaction

Specified by:

reconnect in interface Transaction

See Also:

disconnect(boolean)

reconnect

public void reconnect(boolean force)

Specified by:

reconnect in interface Transaction

Parameters:

force - force a reconnect, should usually be false.

createApplicationModule

public ApplicationModule createApplicationModule(java.lang.String defName)

Creates an anonymous Application Module. This method is useful for Entity Object middle-tier routines or for creating a sandbox for a service or utility object. With this method, View Objects can be created within the "scope" of that Application Module; then the application module can be passed around. The code in the Application Module can, for example, make assumptions about what View Objects are available and contain code for customizing them. It can control the namespace of objects that are contained within it. For example, the Entity Object middle-tier routine can call:

    getDbTransaction().createApplicationModule()
 

then use that Application Module as its local scratchpad. The routine can pass that Application Module around to others. The anonymous Application Module provides a temporary namespace and can be discarded with one .remove() call to clean-up just the things that the Entity Object needed temporarily.

Specified by:

createApplicationModule in interface DBTransaction

Parameters:

defName - the name of the Application Module definition to be used. If null a default definition is used.

Returns:

a new application module.
