Class MergingCoursesDaoImpl

java.lang.Object

org.jasig.portlet.courses.dao.MergingCoursesDaoImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

ICoursesDao

public class MergingCoursesDaoImpl
extends Object
implements ICoursesDao

MergingCoursesDaoImpl merges together information from multiple data sources. This implementation will merge together matching terms and courses that contain identical IDs. In the case that two sources specify information for a single-value property (e.g. GPA), the last DAO in the list will be given priority. In the case of multi-valued list properties (instructors), the lists from each source will be merged together.
