Constructor Detail

ObjectId

public ObjectId(Class pcClass,
                Object param)

Constructor with class and key.

Parameters:

pcClass - the class

param - the key

ObjectId

public ObjectId()

Method Detail

getKey

public Object getKey()

getKeyAsObject

public Object getKeyAsObject()

Specified by:

getKeyAsObject in class SingleFieldId

toString

public String toString()

Return the String form of the object id. The class of the object id is written as the first part of the result so that the class can be reconstructed later. Then the toString of the key instance is appended. During construction, this process is reversed. The class is extracted from the first part of the String, and the String constructor of the key is used to construct the key itself.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

the String form of the key

keyEquals

protected boolean keyEquals(SingleFieldId obj)

Specified by:

keyEquals in class SingleFieldId

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out)
                   throws IOException

Write this object. Write the superclass first.

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface Externalizable

Overrides:

writeExternal in class SingleFieldId

Parameters:

out - the output

Throws:

IOException

readExternal

public void readExternal(ObjectInput in)
                  throws IOException,
                         ClassNotFoundException

Read this object. Read the superclass first.

Specified by:

readExternal in interface Externalizable

Overrides:

readExternal in class SingleFieldId

Parameters:

in - the input

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

registerStringConstructor

public static Object registerStringConstructor(Class cls,
                                               ObjectId.StringConstructor sc)

Register special StringConstructor instances. These instances are for constructing instances from String parameters where there is no String constructor for them.

Parameters:

cls - the class to register a StringConstructor for

sc - the StringConstructor instance

Returns:

the previous StringConstructor registered for this class

constructKey

public static Object constructKey(String className,
                                  String keyString)

Construct an instance of the parameter class, using the keyString as an argument to the constructor. If the class has a StringConstructor instance registered, use it. If not, try to find a constructor for the class with a single String argument. Otherwise, throw a NucleusUserException.

Parameters:

className - the name of the class

keyString - the String parameter for the constructor

Returns:

the result of construction
