Class JDOHelper

java.lang.Object
javax.jdo.JDOHelper
All Implemented Interfaces:
Constants
public class JDOHelper extends Object implements Constants
This class can be used by a JDO-aware application to call the JDO behavior of PersistenceCapable instances without declaring them to be PersistenceCapable.

It is also used to acquire a PersistenceManagerFactory via various methods.

This helper class defines static methods that allow a JDO-aware application to examine the runtime state of instances. For example, an application can discover whether the instance is persistent, transactional, dirty, new, deleted, or detached; and to get its associated PersistenceManager if it has one.

Version:
2.1

  • Field Details

  • Constructor Details

    • JDOHelper

      public JDOHelper()
      Some applications might prefer to use instance methods instead of static methods.
      Since:
      2.1

  • Method Details

    • createAttributePropertyXref

      static Map createAttributePropertyXref()
      Creates a map from jdoconfig.xsd element attributes to PMF properties.
      Returns:
      An unmodifiable Map of jdoconfig.xsd element attributes to PMF properties.

    • getInstance

      public static JDOHelper getInstance()
      Return the singleton instance of JDOHelper. This instance is thread-safe.
      Returns:
      the thread-safe singleton JDOHelper
      Since:
      2.1

    • getPersistenceManager

      public static PersistenceManager getPersistenceManager(Object pc)
      Return the associated PersistenceManager if there is one. Transactional and persistent instances return the associated PersistenceManager.

      Transient non-transactional instances and instances of classes that do not implement PersistenceCapable return null.

      Parameters:
      pc - the PersistenceCapable instance.
      Returns:
      the PersistenceManager associated with the parameter instance.
      See Also:

    • makeDirty

      public static void makeDirty(Object pc, String fieldName)
      Explicitly mark the parameter instance and field dirty. Normally, PersistenceCapable classes are able to detect changes made to their fields. However, if a reference to an array is given to a method outside the class, and the array is modified, then the persistent instance is not aware of the change. This API allows the application to notify the instance that a change was made to a field.

      Transient instances and instances of classes that do not implement PersistenceCapable ignore this method.

      Parameters:
      pc - the PersistenceCapable instance.
      fieldName - the name of the field to be marked dirty.
      See Also:

    • getObjectId

      public static Object getObjectId(Object pc)
      Return a copy of the JDO identity associated with the parameter instance.

      Persistent instances of PersistenceCapable classes have a JDO identity managed by the PersistenceManager. This method returns a copy of the ObjectId that represents the JDO identity.

      Transient instances and instances of classes that do not implement PersistenceCapable return null.

      The ObjectId may be serialized and later restored, and used with a PersistenceManager from the same JDO implementation to locate a persistent instance with the same data store identity.

      If the JDO identity is managed by the application, then the ObjectId may be used with a PersistenceManager from any JDO implementation that supports the PersistenceCapable class.

      If the JDO identity is not managed by the application or the data store, then the ObjectId returned is only valid within the current transaction.

      Parameters:
      pc - the PersistenceCapable instance.
      Returns:
      a copy of the ObjectId of the parameter instance as of the beginning of the transaction.

    • getObjectIds

      public static Collection getObjectIds(Collection pcs)

      JDO implementations are permitted to define key values of their own. Any key values not recognized by the implementation must be ignored. Key values that are recognized but not supported by an implementation must result in a JDOFatalUserException thrown by the method.

      The returned PersistenceManagerFactory is not configurable (the setXXX methods will throw an exception).

      JDO implementations might manage a map of instantiated PersistenceManagerFactory instances based on specified property key values, and return a previously instantiated PersistenceManagerFactory instance. In this case, the properties of the returned instance must exactly match the requested properties.

      Parameters:
      props - a Properties instance with properties of the PersistenceManagerFactory.
      pmfClassLoader - the class loader to use to load the PersistenceManagerFactory class
      Returns:
      the PersistenceManagerFactory.

      JDO implementations are permitted to define key values of their own. Any key values not recognized by the implementation must be ignored. Key values that are recognized but not supported by an implementation must result in a JDOFatalUserException thrown by the method.

      The returned PersistenceManagerFactory is not configurable (the setXXX methods will throw an exception). This method loads the properties found at name, if any, via resourceLoader, and creates a PersistenceManagerFactory with pmfLoader. Any exceptions thrown during resource loading will be wrapped in a JDOFatalUserException. If multiple PMFs with the requested name are found, a JDOFatalUserException is thrown.

      Parameters:
      overrides - a Map containing properties that override properties defined in any resources loaded according to the "name" parameter
      name - interpreted as the name of the resource containing the PMF properties, the name of the PMF, or the persistence unit name, in that order; if name is null, blank or whitespace, it is interpreted as indicating the anonymous PersistenceManagerFactory.
      resourceLoader - the class loader to use to load properties file resources; must be non-null if name is non-null or blank
      pmfLoader - the class loader to use to load the PersistenceManagerFactory or javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory classes
      Returns:
      the PersistenceManagerFactory with properties in the given resource, with the given name, or with the given persitence unit name

      name - The persistence unit name; null is disallowed.
      resourceLoader - The ClassLoader used to load the standard JDO configuration file.
