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

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 the persistent object.

T - type of the transport object.

F - type of the associated filter.

S - type of the associated sort specification type.

C - type of the data store execution context.

BaseDao<I,P,F,S,C>, Converter<P,T>

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

Dao is the Data Access Object. This is the layer that abstracts the underlying database implementation from the business logic. The interface methods provided by the DAO do not change when the underlying database is changed. Thus, it provides ability for plugging in and out of any underlying implementation without affecting the upper layers.

Method Detail

create

P create(T transportable,
       C context)
                             throws Exception

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.

Throws:

Exception - in case of error occurs while creating the data.

update

P update(T transportable,
       C context)
                             throws Exception

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.

Throws:

Exception - in case error occurs while updating the data.

delete

<E extends T> Boolean delete(Id<E,I> id,
                           C context)
               throws Exception

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.

Throws:

Returns:

number of deleted objects.

Throws:

Exception - throws if delete fails to operate.

deleteAll

long deleteAll(C context)
               throws Exception

Deletes all the persistent objects.

Parameters:

context - data store context

Returns:

the count of entries deleted

Throws:
