public class PrimaryIndex<PK,E>
extends java.lang.Object
PrimaryIndex
objects are thread-safe. Multiple threads may
safely call the methods of a shared PrimaryIndex
object.
PrimaryIndex
implements EntityIndex
to map the primary
key type (PK) to the entity type (E).
The Entity
annotation may be used to define an entity class and
the PrimaryKey
annotation may be used to define a primary key as
shown in the following example.
@Entity class Employee { @PrimaryKey long id; String name; Employee(long id, String name) { this.id = id; this.name = name; } private Employee() {} // For bindings }
To obtain the PrimaryIndex
for a given entity class, call EntityStore.getPrimaryIndex
, passing the
primary key class and the entity class. For example:
EntityStore store = new EntityStore(...);
PrimaryIndex<Long, Employee>
primaryIndex =
store.getPrimaryIndex(Long.class, Employee.class);
Note that Long.class
is passed as the primary key class, but the
primary key field has the primitive type long
. When a primitive
primary key field is used, the corresponding primitive wrapper class is used
to access the primary index. For more information on key field types, see
PrimaryKey
.
The PrimaryIndex
provides the primary storage and access methods
for the instances of a particular entity class. Entities are inserted and
updated in the PrimaryIndex
by calling a method in the family of
put(E)
methods. The put(E)
method will insert the entity if no
entity with the same primary key already exists. If an entity with the same
primary key does exist, it will update the entity and return the existing
(old) entity. For example:
Employee oldEntity; oldEntity = primaryIndex.put(new Employee(1, "Jane Smith")); // Inserts an entity assert oldEntity == null; oldEntity = primaryIndex.put(new Employee(2, "Joan Smith")); // Inserts an entity assert oldEntity == null; oldEntity = primaryIndex.put(new Employee(2, "Joan M. Smith")); // Updates an entity assert oldEntity != null;
The putNoReturn(E)
method can be used to avoid the overhead of
returning the existing entity, when the existing entity is not important to
the application. The return type of putNoReturn(E)
is void. For
example:
primaryIndex.putNoReturn(new Employee(1, "Jane Smith")); // Inserts an entity primaryIndex.putNoReturn(new Employee(2, "Joan Smith")); // Inserts an entity primaryIndex.putNoReturn(new Employee(2, "Joan M. Smith")); // Updates an entity
The putNoOverwrite(E)
method can be used to ensure that an existing
entity is not overwritten. putNoOverwrite(E)
returns true if the
entity was inserted, or false if an existing entity exists and no action was
taken. For example:
boolean inserted; inserted = primaryIndex.putNoOverwrite(new Employee(1, "Jane Smith")); // Inserts an entity assert inserted; inserted = primaryIndex.putNoOverwrite(new Employee(2, "Joan Smith")); // Inserts an entity assert inserted; inserted = primaryIndex.putNoOverwrite(new Employee(2, "Joan M. Smith")); // No action was taken! assert !inserted;
Primary key values must be unique, in other words, each instance of a
given entity class must have a distinct primary key value. Rather than
assigning the unique primary key values yourself, a sequence can be
used to assign sequential integer values automatically, starting with the
value 1 (one). A sequence is defined using the PrimaryKey.sequence()
annotation property. For example:
@Entity class Employee { @PrimaryKey(sequence="ID") long id; String name; Employee(String name) { this.name = name; } private Employee() {} // For bindings }
The name of the sequence used above is "ID". Any name can be used. If
the same sequence name is used in more than one entity class, the sequence
will be shared by those classes, in other words, a single sequence of
integers will be used for all instances of those classes. See PrimaryKey.sequence()
for more information.
Any method in the family of put(E)
methods may be used to insert
entities where the primary key is assigned from a sequence. When the put(E)
method returns, the primary key field of the entity object will be set
to the assigned key value. For example:
Employee employee; employee = new Employee("Jane Smith"); primaryIndex.putNoReturn(employee); // Inserts an entity assert employee.id == 1; employee = new Employee("Joan Smith"); primaryIndex.putNoReturn(employee); // Inserts an entity assert employee.id == 2;
This begs the question: How do you update an existing entity, without
assigning a new primary key? The answer is that the put(E)
methods
will only assign a new key from the sequence if the primary key field is
zero or null (for reference types). If an entity with a non-zero and
non-null key field is passed to a put(E)
method, any existing entity
with that primary key value will be updated. For example:
Employee employee; employee = new Employee("Jane Smith"); primaryIndex.putNoReturn(employee); // Inserts an entity assert employee.id == 1; employee = new Employee("Joan Smith"); primaryIndex.putNoReturn(employee); // Inserts an entity assert employee.id == 2; employee.name = "Joan M. Smith"; primaryIndex.putNoReturn(employee); // Updates an existing entity assert employee.id == 2;
Since PrimaryIndex
implements the EntityIndex
interface,
it shares the common index methods for retrieving and deleting entities,
opening cursors and using transactions. See EntityIndex
for more
information on these topics.
Note that when using an index, keys and values are stored and retrieved by value not by reference. In other words, if an entity object is stored and then retrieved, or retrieved twice, each object will be a separate instance. For example, in the code below the assertion will always fail.
MyKey key = ...; MyEntity entity1 = new MyEntity(key, ...); index.put(entity1); MyEntity entity2 = index.get(key); assert entity1 == entity2; // always fails!

This constructor is not normally needed and is provided for
applications that wish to use custom bindings along with the Direct
Persistence Layer. Normally, getPrimaryIndex
is used instead.
Note that when this constructor is used directly, primary keys cannot
be automatically assigned from a sequence. The key assignment feature
requires knowledge of the primary key field, which is only available if
an EntityStore
is used. Of course, primary keys may be
assigned from a sequence manually before calling the put
methods in this class.
