Constructor Detail

OdiNaturalKeyMember

public OdiNaturalKeyMember(OdiLevel owningLevel)

OdiNaturalKeyMember constructor. The referenced level attribute will be set to null.

Parameters:

owningLevel - The owning level for this natural key member. Cannot be set to null.

OdiNaturalKeyMember

public OdiNaturalKeyMember(OdiLevel owningLevel,
                           OdiLevelAttribute refAttr)

OdiNaturalKeyMember constructor.

Parameters:

owningLevel - The owning level for this natural key member. Cannot be set to null.

refAttr - The referenced level attribute for this natural key member.

Method Detail

getInternalId

public java.io.Serializable getInternalId()

Description copied from interface: IRepositoryEntity

Provides a common getter for the persistence layer to obtain an identity, irrespective of the actual type of identity used.

Typically a subclass will delegate to a public SomePrimitiveWrapper getId() method. The necessity for the getInternalId() abstract method is solely because the persistence layer needs a way of obtaining the identity irrespective of the actual identity implementation choice.

Returning null from this method will indicate the object has never been saved. This will likely be relied on by some DAO implementations.

Specified by:

getInternalId in interface IRepositoryEntity

Returns:

the persistence identity of this instance

getNaturalKeyMemberId

public java.lang.Number getNaturalKeyMemberId()

Get the unique id of this natural key member. It will be unique among all natural key members in this repository.

getLevelAttribute

public OdiLevelAttribute getLevelAttribute()

Description copied from interface: INaturalKeyMember

Get the referenced level attribute for this natural key member. The natural key consists of an ordered set of level attributes, wrapped by natural key member objects.

Specified by:

getLevelAttribute in interface INaturalKeyMember

Returns:

The referenced level attribute.

setLevelAttribute

public void setLevelAttribute(OdiLevelAttribute levelAttr)

getLevel

public OdiLevel getLevel()

Description copied from interface: INaturalKeyMember

Get the owning level for this natural key member. Each level owns an ordered set of natural key member objects, that together compose the natural key for the level.

Specified by:

getLevel in interface INaturalKeyMember

Returns:

the owning level.

getPosition

public int getPosition()

Description copied from interface: INaturalKeyMember

Get the position of this natural key member in the overall natural key. The natural key is an ordered set of level attributes, that will match an ordered set of source values when doing the parent lookup during the ETL load of the dimension.

Specified by:

getPosition in interface INaturalKeyMember

Returns:

The position of this natural key member.

setPosition

public void setPosition(int value)

Description copied from interface: INaturalKeyMember

Set the position of this natural key member in the overall natural key. The natural key is an ordered set of level attributes, that will match an ordered set of source values when doing the parent lookup during the ETL load of the dimension.

Specified by:

setPosition in interface INaturalKeyMember

Parameters:

value - The position value to set.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class oracle.odi.domain.support.AbstractRepositoryEntity
