beginOptimistic

public void beginOptimistic()

Description copied from interface: StoreManager

Notification that an optimistic transaction has started. This method does not replace the StoreManager.begin() method, which will still be called when a true data store transaction should begin.

Specified by:

beginOptimistic in interface StoreManager

rollbackOptimistic

public void rollbackOptimistic()

Description copied from interface: StoreManager

Notification that an optimistic transaction was rolled back before a data store transaction ever began.

begin

public void begin()

Description copied from interface: StoreManager

Begin a data store transaction. After this method is called, it is assumed that all further operations are operating in a single transaction that can be committed or rolled back. If optimistic transactions are in use, this method will only be called when the system requires a transactionally consistent connection due to a user request to flush or commit the transaction. In this case, it is possible that the optimistic transaction does not have the latest versions of all instances (i.e. another transaction has modified the same instances and committed since the optimistic transaction started). On commit, an exception must be thrown on any attempt to overwrite data for an instance with an older version.

Specified by:

begin in interface StoreManager

commit

public void commit()

Description copied from interface: StoreManager

Commit the current data store transaction.

Specified by:

commit in interface StoreManager

initialize

public boolean initialize(OpenJPAStateManager sm,
                          PCState state,
                          FetchConfiguration fetch,
                          Object context)

Description copied from interface: StoreManager

Initialize the given state manager. The object id of the state manager will be set, and the state manager's metadata be set to the class of the instance to load, or possibly one of its superclasses. Initialization involves first calling the OpenJPAStateManager.initialize(java.lang.Class, org.apache.openjpa.kernel.PCState) method with a new instance of the correct type constructed with the PCRegistry.newInstance(Class, org.apache.openjpa.enhance.StateManager, boolean) method (this will reset the state manager's metadata if the actual type was a subclass). After instance initialization, load any the fields for the given fetch configuration that can be efficiently retrieved. If any of the configured fields are not loaded in this method, they will be loaded with a subsequent call to StoreManager.load(org.apache.openjpa.kernel.OpenJPAStateManager, java.util.BitSet, org.apache.openjpa.kernel.FetchConfiguration, int, java.lang.Object). If this method is called during a data store transaction, the instance's database record should be locked. Version information can be loaded if desired through the OpenJPAStateManager.setVersion(java.lang.Object) method.

Specified by:

initialize in interface StoreManager

Parameters:

sm - the instance to initialize

state - the lifecycle state to initialize the state manager with

fetch - configuration for how to load the instance

context - the current execution data, or null if not given to the calling method of the broker

Returns:

true if the matching instance exists in the data store, false otherwise

                                  JDBCFetchConfiguration fetch,
                                  ConnectionInfo info)
                           throws ClassNotFoundException,
                                  SQLException

                          OpenJPAStateManager sm,
                          Result res)
                   throws SQLException

This method is to provide override for non-JDBC or JDBC-like implementation of getting version from the result set.

Throws:

SQLException

isEmptyResult

protected boolean isEmptyResult(Result res)
                         throws SQLException

This method is to provide override for non-JDBC or JDBC-like implementation of checking whether the result set is empty or not.

Throws:

getType

protected Class getType(Result res,
                        ClassMapping mapping)

This method is to provide override for non-JDBC or JDBC-like implementation of getting type from the result set.

load

public boolean load(OpenJPAStateManager sm,
                    BitSet fields,
                    FetchConfiguration fetch,
                    int lockLevel,
                    Object context)

Description copied from interface: StoreManager

Load the given state manager. Note that any collection or map types loaded into the state manager will be proxied with the correct type; therefore the store manager does not have to load the same concrete collection/map types as the instance declares. However, array types must be consistent with the array type stored by the persistence capable instance. If this method is called during a data store transaction, the instance should be locked. If the given state manager does not have its version set already, version information can be loaded if desired through the OpenJPAStateManager.setVersion(java.lang.Object) method.

Specified by:

load in interface StoreManager

Parameters:

sm - the instance to load

fields - set of fields to load; all field indexes in this set must be loaded; this set is mutable

fetch - the fetch configuration to use when loading related objects

lockLevel - attempt to load simple fields at this lock level; relations should be loaded at the read lock level of the fetch configuration

context - the current execution data, or null if not given to the calling method of the broker

Returns:

false if the object no longer exists in the database, true otherwise

loadAll

public Collection loadAll(Collection sms,
                          PCState state,
                          int load,
                          FetchConfiguration fetch,
                          Object context)

Description copied from interface: StoreManager

Initialize, load, or validate the existance of all of the given objects. This method is called from various broker methods that act on multiple objects, such as StoreContext.retrieveAll(java.util.Collection, boolean, org.apache.openjpa.kernel.OpCallbacks). It gives the store manager an opportunity to efficiently batch-load data for several objects. Each of the given state managers will be in one of three states, each requiring a different action:

• stateManager.getO () == null: An uninitialized state manager. Perform the same actions as in StoreManager.initialize(org.apache.openjpa.kernel.OpenJPAStateManager, org.apache.openjpa.kernel.PCState, org.apache.openjpa.kernel.FetchConfiguration, java.lang.Object).
• load != FORCE_LOAD_NONE || stateManager.getPCState () == PCState.HOLLOW: A hollow state manager, or one whose fields must be loaded because this is a refresh or retrieve action. Peform the same actions as in StoreManager.load(org.apache.openjpa.kernel.OpenJPAStateManager, java.util.BitSet, org.apache.openjpa.kernel.FetchConfiguration, int, java.lang.Object), choosing the fields to load based on the fetch configuration, or loading all fields if load == FORCE_LOAD_ALL. Any required fields left unloaded will cause a subsequent invocation of StoreManager.load(org.apache.openjpa.kernel.OpenJPAStateManager, java.util.BitSet, org.apache.openjpa.kernel.FetchConfiguration, int, java.lang.Object) on the individual object in question.
• load == FORCE_LOAD_NONE && stateManager.getPCState () != PCState.HOLLOW: A non-hollow state manager. Perform the same actions as in StoreManager.exists(org.apache.openjpa.kernel.OpenJPAStateManager, java.lang.Object), and load additional state if desired. Non-hollow objects will only be included outside of refresh invocations if a user calls findAll with the validate parameter set to true.

Store managers that cannot efficiently batch load can simply test for these conditions and delegate to the proper methods.

Specified by:

loadAll in interface StoreManager

Parameters:

sms - the state manager instances to load

state - the lifecycle state to initialize uninitialized state managers with; may be null if no uninitialized instances are included in sms

load - one of the FORCE_LOAD_* constants describing the fields to force-load if this is a refresh or retrieve action

fetch - the current fetch configuration to use when loading related objects

context - the current execution data, or null if not given to the calling method of the broker

Returns:

a collection of the state manager identities for which no data store record exists

                              PCState toState)

Description copied from interface: StoreManager

Notification that the given state manager is about to change its lifecycle state. The store manager is not required to do anything in this method, but some back ends may need to.

Specified by:

beforeStateChange in interface StoreManager

flush

public Collection flush(Collection sms)

Description copied from interface: StoreManager

Flush the given state manager collection to the datastore, returning a collection of exceptions encountered during flushing. The given collection may include states that do not require data store action, such as persistent-clean instances or persistent-dirty instances that have not been modified since they were last flushed. For datastore updates and inserts, the dirty, non-flushed fields of each state should be flushed. New instances without an assigned object id should be given one via OpenJPAStateManager.setObjectId(java.lang.Object). New instances with value-strategy fields that have not been assigned yet should have their fields set. Datastore version information should be updated during flush, and the state manager's version indicator updated through the OpenJPAStateManager.setNextVersion(java.lang.Object) method. The current version will roll over to this next version upon successful commit.

Specified by:

flush in interface StoreManager
