  oracle.jbo.ViewCriteriaRow

All Implemented Interfaces:

AttributeList, ExprValueSupplier, Row, ViewCriteriaComponent

Direct Known Subclasses:

ViewCriteria.NestedViewCriteriaRow, ViewCriteriaRowImpl

public class ViewCriteriaRow
extends java.lang.Object
implements Row, ViewCriteriaComponent, ExprValueSupplier

An array containing criteria for the individual attributes of a View Object's WHERE clause.

A ViewCriteriaRow is entowned by a ViewCriteria. For an example of a program that uses ViewCriteriaRow methods, see ViewCriteria.

ViewCriteriaRow is built as a Row. You get and set attributes through getAttribute() and setAttribute() method.

The attribute value of a ViewCriteriaRow represents a search criterion to be applied for the View Object's attribute. Each attribute criterion may optionally start with a comparison operator. Here are the operators recognized by ViewCriteriaRow: <, >, =, ~, !, LIKE, IS, IN, NOT, NULL, BETWEEN. If an operator is found, no interpretation of the attribute value occurs. I.e., the attribute value is used as is. This means that for a String attribute, one must put "'" around string constants.

If no operator is specified, for char attributes, the LIKE operator is assumed. For non-char attributes, = operator is assumed. The string constant for LIKE comparison may use "*". "*" is translated to "%".

If multiple attribute criteria are specified in this ViewCriteriaRow, i.e., setAttribute() was called on more than one attribute, the attribute criteria are AND'ed. For example, the following code snippet

 // Create and populate criteria rows to support query-by-example.
 ViewObject empView = appMod.createViewObject("Emp", "mypackage1.EmpView");
 ViewCriteria vc = empView.createViewCriteria();
 ViewCriteriaRow vcRow = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
 vcRow.setAttribute("Job", "= 'MANAGER'");
 vcRow.setAttribute("Deptno", "= 10");
 vc.addElement(vcRow);
 

will result in the following WHERE clause: "( JOB = 'MANAGER' ) AND ( DEPTNO = 10 )".

Using setUpperColumns(boolean), you can designate that this ViewCriteriaRow should apply UPPER to the database column before comparing it to the attribute criterion. Keep in mind though that the use of UPPER can have a performance consequences for a large data set, as the database engine may not be able to utilize indices for query optimization.

When multiple ViewCriteriaRow's are added to the ViewCriteria, you can specify whether the WHERE clause generated by this ViewCriteriaRow should AND or OR with the previous WHERE clause. You do this through the setConjunction(int) method. You use VCROW_CONJ_ constants to specify the desired conjunction. Note that VCROW_CONJ_NOT can be combined with other VCROW_CONJ_'s through bit-wise OR operator. VCROW_CONJ_NOT negates the entire clause generated from this ViewCriteriaRow. For example,

 // Create and populate criteria rows to support query-by-example.
 ViewObject empView = appMod.createViewObject("Emp", "mypackage1.EmpView");
 ViewCriteria vc = empView.createViewCriteria();
 ViewCriteriaRow vcRow = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
 vcRow.setAttribute("Job", "MANAGER");
 vc.addElement(vcRow);
 vcRow.setAttribute("Deptno", "= 10");
 vcRow.setConjunction(vcRow.VCROW_CONJ_NOT | vcRow.VCROW_CONJ_AND);
 vc.addElement(vcRow);
 empView.applyViewCriteria(vc);
 empView.executeQuery();
 

will result in a WHERE clause like the following: "( JOB LIKE 'MANAGER' ) AND ( NOT ( DEPTNO = 10 ) )."

This method differs from Row.remove() in that it just removes the row from the collection. It does not remove the underlying Entity row(s) or database row(s).

This method also differs from Row.removeFromCollection() in that after the row is removed from the collection, it can be inserted back into the collection at another location.

Specified by:

removeAndRetain in interface Row

Returns:

The current mode of an effective dated row.

See Also:

hasData

public final boolean hasData()

setNewRowState

public void setNewRowState(byte state)

Description copied from interface: Row

Sets a new unposted row, created in this transaction, to either STATUS_NEW or STATUS_INITIALIZED mode. Calling this method on a row in any other state will be a no-op.

This method should be used to create a row and then to mark it temporary (STATUS_INITIALIZED) so that an app can use the created Row to fill UIs like Table UIs with valid default values for rows. Then when the Row values are updated, UIs should once again call this method to turn the Row into new (STATUS_NEW) state before any setAttribute calls on the Row, so that the changes are validated and posted.

When a created row is in STATUS_NEW (by default) state and this method is called to turn the row in to STATUS_INITIALIZED, all updateable entities that this row comprises of, de=registers themselves from their respective transaction and validation managers. Assocation and ViewLink finders will not find/include these rows. Only the collection into which this row was inserted into will contain a reference to this row and when that collection is re-executed this row cannot be reached via the framework. To include this row again an app should call this method again with STATUS_NEW as the method-argument

When this row is in STATUS_INITIALIZED state and this method is called with STATUS_NEW state then, this new row is added back into it's relevant transaction and validation manager and will then participate in validation, transaction cycles.

Note that incase of composition if a master/detail hierarchy is being created with the intention of making them temporary (STATUS_INITIALIZED) then the logic should be: Create Master row, insert Master row into a collection, create Detail row insert detail row into a relevant collection, make detail row initialized, create/insert/change-to-initialized more detail rows and at the end set the master row as initialized.

Specified by:

setNewRowState in interface Row

Parameters:

state - This could be STATUS_NEW or STATUS_INITIALIZED.

isDead

public boolean isDead()

Description copied from interface: Row

An attempt to access a dead view row will lead to a DeadViewRowAccessException. Using this API method, client code can test the row state.

flattenCompoundItems - whether compound vc items should be included in the return list as is, or if the vc items that are found inside a compound vc item should be included in the return list. If this flag is true, the method would extract the vc items from any compound vc item, so the return list may include more than one vc item for the same attribute. If this flag is false, the method would return the compound vc item and the return list would only include at most one vc item, which may be a compound item, for the same attribute.

leafOnly - true if the result should only include leaf vc items, ie, items that does not contain nested viewcriteria as values. For items that contains nested vc values, the method would include in the result the leaf vc items of the nested vc. false if vc items containing nested vc value should be included in the result.
