Interface Dao<I extends Serializable,P extends Storable<I>,T extends Transportable<? super T,I>,F,S>

Type Parameters:

I - type of the persistent object and transport object id. This type should be immutable. It is critical this type implements equals() and hashCode() correctly.

P - type of model persistent object

T - type of the transport object

F - type of the associated filter

S - type of the associated sort specification type

AbstractDao, KeyDao

public interface Dao<I extends Serializable,P extends Storable<I>,T extends Transportable<? super T,I>,F,S>
extends BaseDao<I,P,T,F,S>, Converter<P,T>

Method Detail

create

P create(T transportable,
       DataStoreContext context)

Creates a new persistent object with the data from the given transport object.

Parameters:

transportable - transport object to get the data from

context - data store context

Returns:

the new created persistent object

update

P update(T transportable,
       DataStoreContext context)

Updates the persistent object related to the given transport object.

Parameters:

transportable - transport object to get the data from

context - data store context

Returns:

the updated persistent object

delete

void delete(P storable,
          DataStoreContext context)

Deletes a persistent object.

Concrete classes could override this method to do any pre-processing / post-processing work.

Parameters:

storable - the persistent object to delete

context - data store context

delete

boolean delete(Id<T,I> id,
             DataStoreContext context)

Deletes the persistent object with the given id.

Parameters:

id - persistent object's id

context - data store context

Returns:

true if the persistent object was found and deleted, false if it was not found

delete

long delete(F filter,
          DataStoreContext context)

Deletes all persistent objects matching the given filter.

Parameters:

filter - filter

context - data store context

Returns:

number of deleted objects

deleteAll

long deleteAll(DataStoreContext context)

Deletes all the persistent objects.

Parameters:

context - data store context

Returns:

the count of entries deleted
