Direct Known Subclasses:

HistoricJPAEntityListVariableType

public class JPAEntityListVariableType
extends Object
implements VariableType, CacheableVariable

Variable type capable of storing a list of reference to JPA-entities. Only JPA-Entities which are configured by annotations are supported. Use of compound primary keys is not supported.
The variable value should be of type List and can only contain objects of the same type.

Method Detail

setForceCacheable

public void setForceCacheable(boolean forceCachedValue)

Specified by:

setForceCacheable in interface CacheableVariable

getTypeName

public String getTypeName()

Description copied from interface: VariableType

name of variable type (limited to 100 characters length)

Specified by:

getTypeName in interface VariableType

isCachable

public boolean isCachable()

Description copied from interface: VariableType

Indicates if this variable type supports caching.

If caching is supported, the result of VariableType.getValue(ValueFields) is saved for the duration of the session and used for subsequent reads of the variable's value.

If caching is not supported, all reads of a variable's value require a fresh call to VariableType.getValue(ValueFields).

Specified by:

isCachable in interface VariableType

Returns:

whether variables of this type are cacheable.

isAbleToStore

public boolean isAbleToStore(Object value)

Specified by:

isAbleToStore in interface VariableType

Returns:

whether this variable type can store the specified value.

setValue

public void setValue(Object value,
                     ValueFields valueFields)

Description copied from interface: VariableType

Stores the specified value in the supplied ValueFields.

Specified by:

setValue in interface VariableType

getValue

public Object getValue(ValueFields valueFields)

Specified by:

getValue in interface VariableType

Returns:

the value of a variable based on the specified ValueFields.

serializeIds

protected byte[] serializeIds(List<String> ids)

Returns:

a bytearray containing all ID's in the given string serialized as an array.

deserializeIds

protected String[] deserializeIds(byte[] bytes)
