Method Detail

getAll

java.util.List<T> getAll(RequestOptions requestOptionsTO)

Generic method used to get all objects of a particular type, sorted and paginated according to the given request options. This is the same as lookup up all rows in a table. The sort option works only on single properties, cause colection properties need to be sorted. If you have to sort on collection properties, use search(IMutableSearch search) method with sort and fetching options

Parameters:

requestOptionsTO - include sort order and pagination information

Returns:

List of populated objects

getAll

java.util.List<T> getAll()

Generic method used to get all objects of a particular type. This is the same as lookup up all rows in a table.

Returns:

List of populated objects

get

T get(PK id)

Return the persistent instance of an entity with the given identifier, or null if not found.

Parameters:

id - the identifier of the persistent instance

Returns:

the persistent instance, or null if not found

Throws:

org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException - in case of Hibernate errors

See Also:

Session.get(Class, java.io.Serializable)

exists

boolean exists(PK id)

Checks for existence of an object of type T using the id arg.

Parameters:

id - the id of the entity

Returns:

- true if it exists, false if it doesn't

save

@Transactional
T save(T object)

Generic method to save an object - handles both update and insert.

Parameters:

object - the object to save

Returns:

the persisted object

remove

void remove(PK id)

Generic method to delete an object based on class and id

Parameters:

id - the identifier (primary key) of the object to remove

remove

void remove(T object)

Generic method to delete an object

Parameters:

object - the object to remove

getAllDistinct

java.util.List<T> getAllDistinct()

Gets all records without duplicates.

Note that if you use this method, it is imperative that your model classes correctly implement the hashcode/equals methods

Returns:

List of populated objects

findByNamedQuery

java.util.List<T> findByNamedQuery(java.lang.String queryName,
                                   java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> queryParams)

Find a list of records by using a named query

Parameters:

queryName - query name of the named query

queryParams - a map of the query names and the values

Returns:

a list of the records found

searchLike

java.util.List<T> searchLike(java.lang.String[] criteria,
                             java.lang.String[] properties,
                             RequestOptions requestOptionsTO)

This method allows to search Objects on String properties, fitting search criteria. Properties can be direct object fields or fields of included objects (in this case, fields must be referenced by the doted notation like "foo.bar"). Use a like statement for each criteria on each property. Results are sorted and paginated in respect of the given request options.

Parameters:

criteria - the search criteria

properties - the searched properties

requestOptionsTO - include sort order and pagination information

Returns:

a list of object matching the different criteria sorted and paginated

searchEquals

java.util.List<T> searchEquals(java.lang.String[] criteria,
                               java.lang.String[] properties,
                               RequestOptions requestOptionsTO)

This method allows to search Objects on String properties, fitting search criteria. Properties can be direct object fields or fields of included objects (in this case, fields must be referenced by the doted notation like "foo.bar"). Use a equality statement for each criteria on each property. Results are sorted and paginated in respect of the given request options.

Parameters:

criteria - the search criteria

properties - the searched properties

requestOptionsTO - include sort order and pagination information

Returns:

a list of object matching the different criteria sorted and paginated

getManipulatedType

java.lang.Class<T> getManipulatedType()

Return the type of entity manipulated by this DAO

Returns:

the Class of the manipulated entity

getAll

java.util.List<T> getAll(java.util.List<PK> ids)

Retrieve a List of entities matching given ids

Parameters:

ids - a List of ids

a List of entities matching ids, must be non null, could be empty

getAll

java.util.List<T> getAll(java.util.List<PK> ids,
                         RequestOptions requestOptions)

Retrieve a List of entities matching given ids, sorted and paginated according to the given request options

Parameters:

ids - a List of ids

requestOptions - include sort order and pagination information

Returns:

a sorted/paginated List of entities matching ids, must be non null, could be empty

com.trg.search.SearchResult<T> searchAndCount(com.trg.search.IMutableSearch search)

Returns a SearchResult object that includes the list of results like search() and the total length like searchLength.

See Also:

ISearch

searchUnique

T searchUnique(com.trg.search.IMutableSearch search)
               throws org.hibernate.NonUniqueResultException
