Class PlasmaCopyHelper

java.lang.Object

org.plasma.sdo.helper.PlasmaCopyHelper

All Implemented Interfaces:

CopyHelper

public class PlasmaCopyHelper
extends Object
implements CopyHelper

Copy utilities class.

Note that copied data objects have the same data properties as the source but have new (and therefore different) underlying UUID and other management properties which are not defined within the source Type. Use copied data objects to help automate and save save effort when creating NEW data objects. To simply link/add and existing data object to a new data graph, first use DataObject.detach() to remove it from its graph. Than add it to a another graph.

copyShallow

public DataObject copyShallow(DataObject dataObject)

Create a shallow copy of the DataObject dataObject: Creates a new DataObject copiedDataObject with the same values as the source dataObject for each property where property.getType().isDataType() is true. The value of such a Property in copiedDataObject is: dataObject.get(property) for single-valued Properties (copiedDataObject.get(property) equals() dataObject.get(property)), or a List where each member is equal to the member at the same index in dataObject for multi-valued Properties copiedDataObject.getList(property).get(i) equals() dataObject.getList(property).get(i) The copied Object is unset for each Property where property.getType().isDataType() is false since they are not copied. Read-only properties are copied. A copied object shares metadata with the source object sourceDO.getType() == copiedDO.getType() If a ChangeSummary is part of the source DataObject the copy has a new, empty ChangeSummary. The Logging state in the source ChangeSummary is not replicated in the target ChangeSummary. All copied data objects are in a 'created' state ready to be used for insert operations.

Note that in general copied data objects have the same data properties as the source but have new (and therefore different) underlying UUID and other management properties which are not defined within the source Type. Use copied data objects to help automate and save save effort when creating NEW data objects. To simply link/add and existing data object to a new data graph, first use DataObject.detach() to remove it from its graph. Than add it to a another graph.

Specified by:

copyShallow in interface CopyHelper

Parameters:

dataObject - to be copied

Returns:

copy of dataObject

copyShallowAsReference

public DataObject copyShallowAsReference(DataObject dataObject)

Create a shallow copy of the given dataObject but where the UUID and other instance properties are copied from the given data object copied as well.

Note that data objects copied using this method should typically be used as "references" in UPDATE and DELETE operations, in order to avoid unnecessary queries.

Parameters:

dataObject -

Returns:

the copied data object

copy

public DataObject copy(DataObject dataObject)

Create a deep copy of the DataObject tree. Copies the dataObject and all its contained DataObjects recursively. Values of Properties are copied as in shallow copy, and values of Properties where property.getType().isDataType() is false are copied where each value copied must be a DataObject contained by the source dataObject. If a DataObject is outside the DataObject tree and the property is bidirectional, then the DataObject is skipped. If a DataObject is outside the DataObject tree and the property is unidirectional, then the same DataObject is referenced. Read-only properties are copied. If any DataObject referenced is not in the containment tree an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. The Logging state in the source ChangeSummary is not replicated in the target ChangeSummary. All copied data objects are in a 'created' state ready to be used for insert operations.

Note that in general copied data objects have the same data properties as the source but have new (and therefore different) underlying UUID and other management properties which are not defined within the source Type. Use copied data objects to help automate and save save effort when creating NEW data objects. To simply link/add an existing data object to a new data graph, first use DataObject.detach() to remove it from its graph. Than add it to a another graph.

Specified by:

copy in interface CopyHelper

Parameters:

dataObject - to be copied.

Returns:

copy of dataObject

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if any referenced DataObject is not part of the containment tree.

copyAsReference

public DataObject copyAsReference(DataObject dataObject)

Create a deep copy of the given dataObject tree but where the UUID and other instance properties are copied from the given data object copied as well.

Note that data graph and data objects copied using this method should typically be used in UPDATE and DELETE operations on the resulting data graph, in order to avoid unnecessary queries. To simply link/add an existing data object to a new data graph, first use DataObject.detach() to remove it from its graph. Than add it to a another graph.

Parameters:

dataObject -

Returns:

copy

public DataObject copy(DataObject dataObject,
                       Type[] referenceTypes)

Create a deep copy of the DataObject tree while exempting all DataObject nodes with an SDO type found in the given reference Types array. For all "reference" types found in the source graph, these are not copied but "re-parented" to the target graph and not added to the change summary. Reference nodes are not removed from the source graph. Copies the dataObject and all its contained DataObjects recursively. Values of Properties are copied as in shallow copy, and values of Properties where property.getType().isDataType() is false are copied where each value copied must be a DataObject contained by the source dataObject. If a DataObject is outside the DataObject tree and the property is bidirectional, then the DataObject is skipped. If a DataObject is outside the DataObject tree and the property is unidirectional, then the same DataObject is referenced. Read-only properties are copied. If any DataObject referenced is not in the containment tree an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. The Logging state in the source ChangeSummary is not replicated in the target ChangeSummary. All copied data objects are in a 'created' state ready to be used for insert operations.

Note that copied data objects have the same data properties as the source but have new (and therefore different) underlying UUID and other management properties which are not defined within the source Type. Use copied data objects to help automate and save save effort when creating NEW data objects. To simply link/add and existing data object to a new data graph, first use DataObject.detach() to remove it from its graph. Than add it to a another graph.

Parameters:

dataObject - to be copied.

referenceTypes - an array of types which are

Returns:

copy of dataObject

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if any referenced DataObject is not part of the containment tree.
