DatabaseSession

public interface DatabaseSession implements Session

Purpose: Add login and configuration API to that of Session. This interface is to be used during the creation and login of the session only. The Session interface should be used after login for normal reading/writing.

Fields Summary
Constructors Summary
Methods Summary
public voidaddDescriptor(oracle.toplink.essentials.descriptors.ClassDescriptor descriptor)
PUBLIC: Add the descriptor to the session. All persistent classes must have a descriptor registered for them with the session. It is best to add the descriptors before login, if added after login the order in which descriptors are added is dependant on inheritice and references unless the addDescriptors method is used.

see
#addDescriptors(Vector)
see
#addDescriptors(Project)

public voidaddDescriptors(java.util.Vector descriptors)
PUBLIC: Add the descriptors to the session. All persistent classes must have a descriptor registered for them with the session. This method allows for a batch of descriptors to be added at once so that TopLink can resolve the dependancies between the descriptors and perform initialization optimially.

public voidaddDescriptors(oracle.toplink.essentials.sessions.Project project)
PUBLIC: Add the descriptors to the session from the Project. This can be used to combine the descriptors from multiple projects into a single session. This can be called after the session has been connected as long as there are no external dependencies.

public voidbeginTransaction()
PUBLIC: Begin a transaction on the database. This allows a group of database modification to be commited or rolledback as a unit. All writes/deletes will be sent to the database be will not be visible to other users until commit. Although databases do not allow nested transaction, TopLink supports nesting through only committing to the database on the outer commit.

exception
DatabaseException if the database connection is lost or the begin is rejected.
see
#isInTransaction()

public voidcommitTransaction()
PUBLIC: Commit the active database transaction. This allows a group of database modification to be commited or rolledback as a unit. All writes/deletes will be sent to the database be will not be visible to other users until commit. Although databases do not allow nested transaction, TopLink supports nesting through only committing to the database on the outer commit.

exception
DatabaseException most databases validate changes as they are done, normally errors do not occur on commit unless the disk fails or the connection is lost.
exception
ConcurrencyException if this session is not within a transaction.

public voiddeleteAllObjects(java.util.Collection domainObjects)
PUBLIC: delete all of the objects and all of their privately owned parts in the database. The allows for a group of objects to be deleted as a unit. The objects will be deleted through a single transactions.

exception
DatabaseException if an error occurs on the database, these include constraint violations, security violations and general database erros.
exception
OptimisticLockException if the object's descriptor is using optimistic locking and the object has been updated or deleted by another user since it was last read.

public voiddeleteAllObjects(java.util.Vector domainObjects)
PUBLIC: delete all of the objects and all of their privately owned parts in the database. The allows for a group of objects to be deleted as a unit. The objects will be deleted through a single transactions.

exception
DatabaseException if an error occurs on the database, these include constraint violations, security violations and general database erros.
exception
OptimisticLockException if the object's descriptor is using optimistic locking and the object has been updated or deleted by another user since it was last read.

public java.lang.ObjectdeleteObject(java.lang.Object domainObject)
PUBLIC: Delete the object and all of its privately owned parts from the database. The delete operation can be customized through using a delete query.

see
oracle.toplink.essentials.queryframework.DeleteObjectQuery

public oracle.toplink.essentials.sequencing.SequencingControlgetSequencingControl()
PUBLIC: Return SequencingControl which used for sequencing setup and customization including management of sequencing preallocation.

public oracle.toplink.essentials.platform.server.ServerPlatformgetServerPlatform()
PUBLIC: Answer the server platform defining server-specific behaviour for the receiver (Oc4j, WLS, ...). If the user wants a different external transaction controller class or to provide some different behaviour than the provided ServerPlatform(s), we recommend subclassing oracle.toplink.essentials.platform.server.ServerPlatformBase (or a subclass), and overriding: ServerPlatformBase.getExternalTransactionControllerClass() ServerPlatformBase.registerMBean() ServerPlatformBase.unregisterMBean() for the desired behaviour.

see
oracle.toplink.essentials.platform.server.ServerPlatformBase

public java.lang.ObjectinsertObject(java.lang.Object domainObject)
PUBLIC: Insert the object and all of its privately owned parts into the database. Insert should only be used if the application knows that the object is new, otherwise writeObject should be used. The insert operation can be customized through using an insert query.

see
oracle.toplink.essentials.queryframework.InsertObjectQuery
see
#writeObject(Object)

public booleanisInTransaction()
PUBLIC: Return if the session is currently in the progress of a database transaction. Because nested transactions are allowed check if the transaction mutex has been aquired.

public voidlogin()
PUBLIC: Connect to the database using the predefined login. The login must have been assign when or after creating the session.

see
#login(Login)

public voidlogin(java.lang.String userName, java.lang.String password)
PUBLIC: Connect to the database using the given user name and password. The additional login information must have been preset in the session's login attribute. This is the login that should be used if each user has their own id, but all users share the same database configuration. Under this login mode the password should not stay withint the login definition after login.

public voidlogin(oracle.toplink.essentials.sessions.Login login)
PUBLIC: Connect to the database using the given login. The login may also the preset and the login() protocol called. This is the login should only be used if each user has their own database configuration. Under this login mode the password should not stay withint the login definition after login.

public voidlogout()
PUBLIC: Disconnect from the database.

exception
TopLinkException if a transaction is active, you must rollback any active transaction before logout.
exception
DatabaseException the database will also raise an error if their is an active transaction, or a general error occurs.

public java.lang.ObjectrefreshAndLockObject(java.lang.Object object)
PUBLIC: Refresh the attributes of the object and of all of its private parts from the database. The object will be pessimisticly locked on the database for the duration of the transaction. If the object is already locked this method will wait until the lock is released. A no wait option is available through setting the lock mode.

see
#refreshAndLockObject(Object, lockMode)

public java.lang.ObjectrefreshAndLockObject(java.lang.Object object, short lockMode)
PUBLIC: Refresh the attributes of the object and of all of its private parts from the database. The object will be pessimisticly locked on the database for the duration of the transaction.

Lock Modes: ObjectBuildingQuery.NO_LOCK, LOCK, LOCK_NOWAIT

public voidrollbackTransaction()
PUBLIC: Rollback the active database transaction. This allows a group of database modification to be commited or rolledback as a unit. All writes/deletes will be sent to the database be will not be visible to other users until commit. Although databases do not allow nested transaction, TopLink supports nesting through only committing to the database on the outer commit.

exception
DatabaseException if the database connection is lost or the rollback fails.
exception
ConcurrencyException if this session is not within a transaction.

public voidsetDatasourceLogin(oracle.toplink.essentials.sessions.Login login)
PUBLIC: Set the login.

public voidsetExternalTransactionController(oracle.toplink.essentials.sessions.ExternalTransactionController etc)
PUBLIC: Used for JTS integration. If your application requires to have JTS control transactions instead of TopLink an external transaction controler must be specified. TopLink provides JTS controlers for JTS 1.0 and Weblogic's JTS.

oracle.toplink.essentials.platform.server.CustomServerPlatform

public voidsetLogin(oracle.toplink.essentials.sessions.Login login)
PUBLIC: Set the login.

public voidsetServerPlatform(oracle.toplink.essentials.platform.server.ServerPlatform newServerPlatform)
PUBLIC: Set the server platform defining server-specific behaviour for the receiver (Oc4j, WLS, ... ). This is not permitted after the session is logged in. If the user wants a different external transaction controller class or to provide some different behaviour than the provided ServerPlatform(s), we recommend subclassing oracle.toplink.essentials.platform.server.ServerPlatformBase (or a subclass), and overriding: ServerPlatformBase.getExternalTransactionControllerClass() ServerPlatformBase.registerMBean() ServerPlatformBase.unregisterMBean() for the desired behaviour.

oracle.toplink.essentials.platform.server.ServerPlatformBase

public java.lang.ObjectupdateObject(java.lang.Object domainObject)
PUBLIC: Update the object and all of its privately owned parts in the database. Update should only be used if the application knows that the object is new, otherwise writeObject should be used. The update operation can be customized through using an update query.

#writeObject(Object)

public voidwriteAllObjects(java.util.Collection domainObjects)
PUBLIC: Write all of the objects and all of their privately owned parts in the database. The allows for a group of objects to be commited as a unit. The objects will be commited through a single transactions.

exception
DatabaseException if an error occurs on the database, these include constraint violations, security violations and general database erros.
exception
OptimisticLockException if the object's descriptor is using optimistic locking and the object has been updated or deleted by another user since it was last read.

public voidwriteAllObjects(java.util.Vector domainObjects)
PUBLIC: Write all of the objects and all of their privately owned parts in the database. The allows for a group of objects to be commited as a unit. The objects will be commited through a single transactions.

exception
DatabaseException if an error occurs on the database, these include constraint violations, security violations and general database erros.
exception
OptimisticLockException if the object's descriptor is using optimistic locking and the object has been updated or deleted by another user since it was last read.

public java.lang.ObjectwriteObject(java.lang.Object domainObject)
PUBLIC: Write the object and all of its privately owned parts in the database. Write will determine if an insert or an update should be done, it may go to the database to determine this (by default will check the identity map). The write operation can be customized through using an write query.
