Class BaseDataObject
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable,- DataObject,- Persistent,- Validating
- Direct Known Subclasses:
- CayenneDataObject,- HybridDataObject
public abstract class BaseDataObject extends PersistentObject implements DataObject, Validating
DataObject,
 have no assumption about how data is actually stored.
 Three variants are currently supported:
- field based storage, e.g. each entity class will directly define fields to store data
-  Mapbased storage, e.g. values will be stored in general Map (CayenneDataObject)
-  mixed fields and generic Map to store runtime attributes (HybridDataObject)
This class can be used directly as superclass for field-based data objects.
 To create own implementation of DataObject with custom field storage logic it is enough
 to implement readPropertyDirectly(String) and writePropertyDirectly(String, Object) methods
 and serialization support if needed (helper methods writeState(ObjectOutputStream)
 and readState(ObjectInputStream) are provided).

- 4.1

Method Details- 
readPropertyDirectlyDescription copied from interface:DataObjectReturns mapped property value as curently stored in the DataObject. Returned value maybe a fault or a real value. This method will not attempt to resolve faults, or to read unmapped properties.- Specified by:
- readPropertyDirectlyin interface- DataObject
 
- 
writePropertyDirectlyDescription copied from interface:DataObjectModifies a value of a named property without altering the object state in any way, and without triggering any database operations. This method is intended mostly for internal use by Cayenne framework, and shouldn't be called from the application code.- Specified by:
- writePropertyDirectlyin interface- DataObject
 
- 
beforePropertyRead
- 
beforePropertyWrite
- 
readPropertyDescription copied from interface:DataObjectReturns a value of the property identified by propName. Resolves faults if needed. This method can safely be used instead of or in addition to the auto-generated property accessors in subclasses of CayenneDataObject.- Specified by:
- readPropertyin interface- DataObject
 
- 
readNestedPropertyReturns a value of the property identified by a property path. Supports reading both mapped and unmapped properties. Unmapped properties are accessed in a manner consistent with JavaBeans specification.Property path (or nested property) is a dot-separated path used to traverse object relationships until the final object is found. If a null object found while traversing path, null is returned. If a list is encountered in the middle of the path, CayenneRuntimeException is thrown. Unlike readPropertyDirectly(String), this method will resolve an object if it is HOLLOW.Examples: - Read this object property:
 String name = (String)artist.readNestedProperty("name");
 
 
- Read an object related to this object:
 Gallery g = (Gallery)paintingInfo.readNestedProperty("toPainting.toGallery");
 
 
- Read a property of an object related to this object: 
 String name = (String)painting.readNestedProperty("toArtist.artistName");
 
 
- Read to-many relationship list:
 List exhibits = (List)painting.readNestedProperty("toGallery.exhibitArray");
 
 
- Read to-many relationship in the middle of the path:
 List<String> names = (List<String>)artist.readNestedProperty("paintingArray.paintingName");
 
 
 - Specified by:
- readNestedPropertyin interface- DataObject
- Since:
- 1.0.5
 
- Read this object property:
- 
writePropertyDescription copied from interface:DataObjectSets the property to the new value. Resolves faults if needed. This method can be safely used instead of or in addition to the auto-generated property modifiers to set simple properties. Note that to set to-one relationships useDataObject.setToOneTarget(String, DataObject, boolean).- Specified by:
- writePropertyin interface- DataObject
- Parameters:
- propName- a name of the bean property being modified.
- val- a new value of the property.
 
- 
removeToManyTargetDescription copied from interface:DataObjectRemoves an object from a to-many relationship.- Specified by:
- removeToManyTargetin interface- DataObject
 
- 
addToManyTargetDescription copied from interface:DataObjectAdds an object to a to-many relationship.- Specified by:
- addToManyTargetin interface- DataObject
 
- 
setToManyTargetpublic List<? extends DataObject> setToManyTarget(String relName, Collection<? extends DataObject> values, boolean setReverse)Sets the relationships to the specifiedDataObjectobjects.New relationships will be created with addToManyTarget(String, org.apache.cayenne.DataObject, boolean), already established relationships stay untouched. Missing relationships will be removed withremoveToManyTarget(String, org.apache.cayenne.DataObject, boolean)and returnd as List. You may delete them manually.Notice: Moving an object relationship to another object, is still needing an manually "unregister" from the first object by removeToManyTarget(String, org.apache.cayenne.DataObject, boolean)- Parameters:
- relName- name of the relation
- values-- DataObjectobjects of this- Collectionare set to the object. No changes will be made to the the- Collection, a copy is used. It is safe to pass a persisted- Collectionof another object.
- setReverse- update reverse relationships
- Returns:
- List<? extends DataObject>of unrelated DataObjects. If no relationship was removed an empty List is returned.
- Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException- if no relationship could be read by relName, or if the passed- Collectionis null. To clear all relationships use an empty- Collection
- UnsupportedOperationException- if the relation Collection Type is neither- java.util.Collectionnor- java.util.Map
- Since:
- 4.0
 
- 
setToOneTargetDescription copied from interface:DataObjectSets to-one relationship to a new value. Resolves faults if needed. This method can safely be used instead of or in addition to the auto-generated property modifiers to set properties that are to-one relationships.- Specified by:
- setToOneTargetin interface- DataObject
- Parameters:
- relationshipName- a name of the bean property being modified - same as the name of ObjRelationship.
- value- a new value of the property.
- setReverse- whether to update the reverse relationship pointing from the old and new values of the property to this object.
 
- 
willConnectCalled before establishing a relationship with another object. Applies "persistence by reachability" logic, pulling one of the two objects to a DataConext of another object in case one of the objects is transient. If both objects are persistent, and they don't have the same DataContext, CayenneRuntimeException is thrown.- Since:
- 1.2
 
- 
setReverseRelationshipInitializes reverse relationship from objectvalto this object.- Parameters:
- relName- name of relationship from this object to- val.
 
- 
unsetReverseRelationshipRemoves current object from reverse relationship of objectvalto this object.
- 
setPersistenceStatepublic void setPersistenceState(int persistenceState)- Specified by:
- setPersistenceStatein interface- Persistent
- Overrides:
- setPersistenceStatein class- PersistentObject
 
-

- 
validateForSavePerforms property validation of the object, appending any validation failures to the provided validationResult object.
