All Implemented Interfaces:

CriteriaTransferObjectConverter

public class NestedPropertyCriteriaBasedConverter
extends SimpleMapContainer<java.lang.String,NestedPropertyMappingGroup>
implements CriteriaTransferObjectConverter

Generic persistent entity criteria transfer object converter implementation using NestedPropertyCriteria as the server-side criteria implementation.

This class uses persistent entity property mappings (NestedPropertyMapping instances) to define relations between the CriteriaTransferObject and NestedPropertyCriteria for a specific persistent entity via NestedPropertyMappingGroup definitions.

Method Detail

addMapping

public void addMapping(java.lang.String mappingGroupName,
                       NestedPropertyMapping mapping)

Adds the given NestedPropertyMapping to this converter by associating it with the requested property mapping group.

Note that the method creates the mapping group if not found within the converter.

This is the preferred way of configuring property mappings for this converter implementation.

Parameters:

mappingGroupName - Name of the property mapping group.

mapping - Persistent entity property mapping to add.

createCriteria

protected NestedPropertyCriteria createCriteria()

Creates a NestedPropertyCriteria instance to be used within the convert(CriteriaTransferObject, String) method.

Override this method if you want to plug in your custom NestedPropertyCriteria implementation.

Returns:

NestedPropertyCriteria instance to hold criteria from the criteria transfer object.

convert

public PersistentEntityCriteria convert(CriteriaTransferObject transferObject,
                                        java.lang.String mappingGroupName)

Description copied from interface: CriteriaTransferObjectConverter

Converts the given CriteriaTransferObject instance into a corresponding PersistentEntityCriteria according to property mappings defined by the requested property mapping group.

Specified by:

convert in interface CriteriaTransferObjectConverter

Parameters:

transferObject - CriteriaTransferObject instance to convert.

mappingGroupName - Name of the property mapping group to use.

Returns:

Resulting PersistentEntityCriteria instance.

CriteriaTransferObjectConverter.convert(com.anasoft.os.daofusion.cto.client.CriteriaTransferObject, java.lang.String)

getKey

protected java.lang.String getKey(NestedPropertyMappingGroup object)

Description copied from class: SimpleMapContainer

Returns the key for the given object.

Specified by:

getKey in class SimpleMapContainer<java.lang.String,NestedPropertyMappingGroup>

Parameters:

object - Object for which the key is required.

Returns:

Object key to use within the object map.
