Class GenericEntity

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable<GenericEntity>, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​java.lang.Object>, LocalizedMap<java.lang.Object>
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    GenericEntity.NullGenericEntity, GenericPK, GenericValue
    public class GenericEntity
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​java.lang.Object>, LocalizedMap<java.lang.Object>, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<GenericEntity>, java.lang.Cloneable
    Generic Entity Value Object - Handles persistence for any defined entity.

    Note that this class extends Observable to achieve change notification for Observers. Whenever a field changes the name of the field will be passed to the notifyObservers() method, and through that to the update() method of each Observer.

    This class is not thread-safe. If an instance of this class is shared between threads, then it should be made immutable by calling the setImmutable() method.

        Parameters:
        name - The field name to set
        value - The value to set

      • set

        public java.lang.Object set​(java.lang.String name,

                            boolean setIfNull)
        Sets the named field to the passed value. If value is null, it is only set if the setIfNull parameter is true. This is useful because an update will only set values that are included in the HashMap and will store null values in the HashMap to the datastore. If a value is not in the HashMap, it will be left unmodified in the datastore.
        Parameters:
        name - The field name to set
        value - The value to set
        setIfNull - Specifies whether or not to set the value if it is null

        public java.lang.Object get​(java.lang.String name,
                            java.util.Locale locale)
        Checks a resource bundle for a value for this field using the entity name, the field name and a composite of the Primary Key field values as a key. If no value is found in the resource then the field value is returned. Uses the default-resource-name from the entity definition as the resource name. To specify a resource name manually, use the other getResource method. So, the key in the resource bundle (properties file) should be as follows: <entity-name>.<field-name>.<pk-field-value-1>.<pk-field-value-2>...<pk-field-value-n> For example: ProductType.description.FINISHED_GOOD
        Specified by:
        get in interface LocalizedMap<java.lang.Object>
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the field on the entity
        locale - The locale to use when finding the ResourceBundle, if null uses the default locale for the current instance of Java
        Returns:
        If the corresponding resource is found and contains a key as described above, then that property value is returned; otherwise returns the field value

      • get

        public java.lang.Object get​(java.lang.String name,

                            java.util.Locale locale)
        Same as the getResource method that does not take resource name, but instead allows manually specifying the resource name. In general you should use the other method for more consistent naming and use of the corresponding properties files.
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the field on the entity
        resource - The name of the resource to get the value from; if null defaults to the default-resource-name on the entity definition, if specified there
        locale - The locale to use when finding the ResourceBundle, if null uses the default locale for the current instance of Java
        Returns:
        If the specified resource is found and contains a key as described above, then that property value is returned; otherwise returns the field value
