Interface QueryModelDAO<T,ID>

Type Parameters:

T - Persistent Class

ID - ID type for the persistent class.

All Superinterfaces:

GenericDAO<T,ID>

public interface QueryModelDAO<T,ID>
extends GenericDAO<T,ID>

The QueryModelDAO interface defines an extension to the GenericDAO functionality that offers significantly more richness around the representation of queries to retrieve a specific object or a list of zero or more items that match the given QueryModel.

Method Detail

findUniqueUsingQueryModel

T findUniqueUsingQueryModel(QueryModel queryModel)
                     throws NoSuchItemException,
                            TooManyItemsException,
                            JeppettoException

Find an object T that satisfies the QueryModel.

Parameters:

queryModel - that contains criteria to match

Returns:

Object that satisfies the query model

Throws:

NoSuchItemException - if the object identified by the queryModel is not found

TooManyItemsException - if more than one object identified by the queryModel is found

JeppettoException - if any other failure occurs

findUsingQueryModel

java.lang.Iterable<T> findUsingQueryModel(QueryModel queryModel)
                                   throws JeppettoException

Find objects of type T that correspond to the QueryModel.

Parameters:

queryModel - that contains criteria that will be true of the results

Returns:

Iterable of T

Throws:

JeppettoException - if any underlying failure occurs

projectUsingQueryModel

java.lang.Object projectUsingQueryModel(QueryModel queryModel)
                                 throws JeppettoException

Use the QueryModel to narrow a set of results, then perform the specified projection.

Parameters:

queryModel - that contains criteria that will be used

Returns:

result of the projection - exact type depends on the projection specified

Throws:

JeppettoException - if any underlying failure occurs

deleteUsingQueryModel

void deleteUsingQueryModel(QueryModel queryModel)
                    throws JeppettoException

Delete objects of type T that correspond to the QueryModel.

Parameters:

queryModel - that contains criteria of items to delete

Throws:

JeppettoException - if any underlying failure occurs

updateUniqueUsingQueryModel

<U extends T> T updateUniqueUsingQueryModel(U updateObject,
                                            QueryModel queryModel)
                                     throws JeppettoException

Apply the set of changes described in the update object to a single persisted item that match the specified QueryModel.

Parameters:

updateObject - that describes the set of changes to be applied.

queryModel - that contains the criteria for items to update

Returns:

The item that was updated.

Throws:

JeppettoException - if any underlying failure occurs

updateUsingQueryModel

<U extends T> java.lang.Iterable<T> updateUsingQueryModel(U updateObject,
                                                          QueryModel queryModel)
                                                   throws JeppettoException

Apply the set of changes described in the update object to persisted items that match the specified QueryModel.

Parameters:

updateObject - that describes the set of changes to be applied.

queryModel - that contains the criteria for items to update

Returns:

Iterable of items that were updated.

Throws:

JeppettoException - if any underlying failure occurs

buildCondition

Condition buildCondition(java.lang.String conditionField,
                         ConditionType conditionType,
                         java.util.Iterator argsIterator)

Construct a Condition object given the passed in arguments. This is used to build up the resulting QueryModel that will ultimately be passed back to the one of the find/project methods above.

Parameters:

conditionField - the field upon which the Condition should be made

conditionType - the type of Condition object to construct

argsIterator - an Iterator that may contain values used during the construction of the Condition

Returns:

corresponding Condition object

buildProjection

Projection buildProjection(java.lang.String projectionField,
                           ProjectionType projectionType,
                           java.util.Iterator argsIterator)

Construct a Projection object given the passed in arguments. This is used to build up the resulting QueryModel that will ultimately be passed back to the projectUsingQueryModel() method.

Parameters:

projectionField - the field upon which the Projection should be made

projectionType - the type of Projection object to construct

argsIterator - an Iterator that may contain values used during the construction of the Projection

Returns:

corresponding Projection object
