Class ObjectArrayFormat

  com.sleepycat.persist.impl.Format
      com.sleepycat.persist.impl.ObjectArrayFormat

All Implemented Interfaces:

Reader, RawType, java.io.Serializable

public class ObjectArrayFormat
extends Format

An array of objects having a specified number of dimensions. All multidimensional arrays are handled by this class, since even a primitive array of more than one dimension is an array of objects, where the component objects may be primitive arrays. The PrimitiveArrayFormat class handles primitive arrays of one dimension only. In this class, and PrimitiveArrayFormat, we resort to using reflection to allocate multidimensional arrays. If there is a need for it, reflection could be avoided in the future by generating code as new array formats are encountered.

Method Detail

isArray

public boolean isArray()

Description copied from interface: RawType

Returns whether this is an array type. Raw value arrays are represented as RawObject instances.

If true is returned, the array component type is returned by RawType.getComponentType() and the number of array dimensions is returned by RawType.getDimensions().

If false is returned, then this is a complex type, an enum type (see RawType.isEnum()), or a simple type (see RawType.isSimple()).

Specified by:

isArray in interface RawType

Overrides:

isArray in class Format

getDimensions

public int getDimensions()

Description copied from interface: RawType

Returns the number of array dimensions, or zero if this is not an array type.

Specified by:

getDimensions in interface RawType

Overrides:

getDimensions in class Format

getComponentType

public Format getComponentType()

Description copied from interface: RawType

Returns the array component type, or null if this is not an array type.

Specified by:

getComponentType in interface RawType

Overrides:

getComponentType in class Format

collectRelatedFormats

void collectRelatedFormats(Catalog catalog,
                           java.util.Map<java.lang.String,Format> newFormats)

Description copied from class: Format

Calls catalog.createFormat for formats that this format depends on, or that should also be persistent.

Specified by:

collectRelatedFormats in class Format

initialize

void initialize(Catalog catalog,
                int initVersion)

Description copied from class: Format

Initializes an uninitialized format, initializing its related formats (superclass formats and array component formats) first.

Specified by:

initialize in class Format

isAssignableTo

boolean isAssignableTo(Format format)

Description copied from class: Format

Called by EntityOutput in rawAccess mode to determine whether an object type is allowed to be assigned to a given field type.

Overrides:

isAssignableTo in class Format

newArray

java.lang.Object newArray(int len)

Description copied from class: Format

Creates an array of the format's class of the given length, as if Array.newInstance(getType(), len) were called. Formats implement this method for specific classes, or call the accessor, to avoid the reflection overhead of Array.newInstance.

Specified by:

newArray in class Format

newInstance

public java.lang.Object newInstance(EntityInput input,
                                    boolean rawAccess)

Description copied from class: Format

Creates a new instance of the target class using its default constructor. Normally this creates an empty object, and readObject() is called next to fill in the contents. This is done in two steps to allow the instance to be registered by EntityInput before reading the contents. This allows the fields in an object or a nested object to refer to the parent object in a graph. Alternatively, this method may read all or the first portion of the data, rather than that being done by readObject(). This is required for simple types and enums, where the object cannot be created without reading the data. In these cases, there is no possibility that the parent object will be referenced by the child object in the graph. It should not be done in other cases, or the graph references may not be maintained faithfully. Is public only in order to implement the Reader interface. Note that this method should only be called directly in raw conversion mode or during conversion of an old format. Normally it should be called via the getReader method and the Reader interface.

Specified by:

newInstance in interface Reader

Specified by:

newInstance in class Format

readObject

public java.lang.Object readObject(java.lang.Object o,
                                   EntityInput input,
                                   boolean rawAccess)

Description copied from class: Format

Called after newInstance() to read the rest of the data bytes and fill in the object contents. If the object was read completely by newInstance(), this method does nothing. Is public only in order to implement the Reader interface. Note that this method should only be called directly in raw conversion mode or during conversion of an old format. Normally it should be called via the getReader method and the Reader interface.

Specified by:

readObject in interface Reader

Specified by:

readObject in class Format

writeObject

void writeObject(java.lang.Object o,
                 EntityOutput output,
                 boolean rawAccess)

Description copied from class: Format

Writes a given instance of the target class to the output data bytes. This is the complement of the newInstance()/readObject() pair.

Specified by:

writeObject in class Format

convertRawObject

java.lang.Object convertRawObject(Catalog catalog,
                                  boolean rawAccess,
                                  RawObject rawObject,
                                  java.util.IdentityHashMap converted)

Description copied from class: Format

Converts a RawObject to a current class object and adds the converted pair to the converted map.

Overrides:

convertRawObject in class Format

skipContents

void skipContents(RecordInput input)

Description copied from class: Format

Skips over the object's contents, as if readObject() were called, but without returning an object. Used for extracting secondary key bytes without having to instantiate the object. For reference types, the format ID is read just before calling this method, so this method is responsible for skipping everything following the format ID.

Specified by:

skipContents in class Format

copySecMultiKey

void copySecMultiKey(RecordInput input,
                     Format keyFormat,
                     java.util.Set results)

Description copied from class: Format

Called after skipToSecKey() to copy the data bytes of an array or collection (XXX_TO_MANY) key field.

Overrides:

copySecMultiKey in class Format

evolve

boolean evolve(Format newFormat,
               Evolver evolver)

Description copied from class: Format

Called for an existing format that may not equal the current format for the same class.

If this method returns true, then it must have determined that the old and new formats are equal, and it must have called either Evolver.useOldFormat or useEvolvedFormat. If this method returns false, then it must have determined that the old format could not be evolved to the new format, and it must have called Evolver.addInvalidMutation, addMissingMutation or addEvolveError.

Specified by:

evolve in class Format
