Direct Known Subclasses:

InterfaceMapping, ObjectMapping, ReferenceIdMapping

public abstract class ReferenceMapping
extends MultiMapping
implements MappingCallbacks

Mapping for a "reference" type. This can be used for things like interfaces, or Object which are simply a reference to some specific (PersistenceCapable) class. This can be persisted in several ways (see "mappingStrategy") :-

• List of possible "implementations" of the reference type where column(s) are created for each possible implementation of the reference as a FK to the implementation table. This has the advantage that it retains referential integrity since direct FKs are used.
• What Kodo/Xcalia used was a single column storing the identity toString() form.

Field Summary

static int	ID_MAPPING Single column containing the "identity" of an object.
protected static Localiser	LOCALISER_MAPPED Localiser for messages
protected int	mappingStrategy Strategy for how the reference(s) are mapped.
static int	PER_IMPLEMENTATION_MAPPING Each implementation has its own column(s) as a FK to the related table.
static int	XCALIA_MAPPING Single column containing the Xcalia form of the "identity" of an object.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(AbstractMemberMetaData mmd,
                       DatastoreContainerObject container,
                       ClassLoaderResolver clr)

Initialize this JavaTypeMapping for the specified field/property.

Overrides:

initialize in class JavaTypeMapping

Parameters:

mmd - AbstractMemberMetaData for the field to be mapped (if any)

container - The datastore container storing this mapping (if any)

clr - the ClassLoaderResolver

getMappingStrategy

public int getMappingStrategy()

Accessor for the mapping strategy. There are various supported strategies for reference fields with the default being one mapping per implementation, but also allowing a single (String) mapping for all implementations.

Returns:

The mapping strategy

prepareDatastoreMapping

protected void prepareDatastoreMapping(ClassLoaderResolver clr)

Convenience method to create the necessary columns to represent this reference in the datastore. With "per-implementation" mapping strategy will create columns for each of the possible implementations. With "identity"/"xcalia" will create a single column to store a reference to the implementation value.

Parameters:

clr - The ClassLoaderResolver

getJavaTypeForDatastoreMapping

public java.lang.String getJavaTypeForDatastoreMapping(int index)

Accessor for the java type represented by a particular datastore mapping. This implementation relays to the superclass implementation except in the case of "identity" mapping strategy, in which case it returns "java.lang.String".

Overrides:

getJavaTypeForDatastoreMapping in class JavaTypeMapping

Parameters:

index - requested datastore field index.

Returns:

the name of java-type for the requested datastore field.

getMappingNumberForValue

public int getMappingNumberForValue(ExecutionContext ec,
                                    java.lang.Object value)

Convenience accessor for the number of the java type mapping where the passed value would be stored. If no suitable mapping is found will return -1. If is a persistent interface then will return -2 meaning persist against *any* mapping

Overrides:

getMappingNumberForValue in class MultiMapping

Parameters:

ec - ObjectManager

value - The value

Returns:

The index of javaTypeMappings to use (if any), or -1 (none), or -2 (any)
