All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class LoadGroup
extends AttributeGroup

Purpose: Used to load specified relationship attributes and nested relationship attributes.

A LoadGroup can be configured for use on a query using ObjectLevelReadQuery.setLoadGroup(LoadGroup) or in the case of JPA users with LOAD_GROUP query hint. Alternatively a FetchGroup could be used with FetchGroup.shouldLoad() set to true and the FetchGroup configured on a query be executed.

isLoadGroup

public boolean isLoadGroup()

Overrides:

isLoadGroup in class AttributeGroup

clone

public LoadGroup clone()

Overrides:

clone in class AttributeGroup

getGroup

public LoadGroup getGroup(java.lang.String attributeNameOrPath)

Returns LoadGroup corresponding to the passed (possibly nested) attribute.

Overrides:

getGroup in class AttributeGroup

addAttribute

public void addAttribute(java.lang.String attributeNameOrPath,
                CoreAttributeGroup group)

Description copied from class: CoreAttributeGroup

Add a basic attribute or nested attribute with each String representing an attribute on the path to what needs to be included in the AttributeGroup.

Example: group.addAttribute("firstName", group1);
group.addAttribute("manager.address", group2); Note that existing group corresponding to attributeNameOrPath will be overridden with the passed group.

Overrides:

addAttribute in class CoreAttributeGroup<org.eclipse.persistence.internal.queries.AttributeItem>

group - - an AttributeGroup to be added.

addAttribute

public void addAttribute(java.lang.String attributeNameOrPath,
                LoadGroup group)

getIsConcurrent

public java.lang.Boolean getIsConcurrent()

INTERNAL: Return if the load group should load its relationships concurrently.

isConcurrent

public boolean isConcurrent()

ADVANCED: Return if the load group should load its relationships concurrently. This will use the session's server platform's thread pool. Each of the query results objects relationships will be loaded on a different thread. This can improve performance by processing many queries at once. Concurrent load is only supported when a shared cache is used.

Overrides:

isConcurrent in class AttributeGroup

setIsConcurrent

public void setIsConcurrent(java.lang.Boolean isConcurrent)

ADVANCED: Set if the load group should load its relationships concurrently. This will use the session's server platform's thread pool. Each of the query results objects relationships will be loaded on a different thread. This can improve performance by processing many queries at once. Concurrent load is only supported when a shared cache is used.
