Class TupleTupleKeyCreator

java.lang.Object

com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBase

com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleTupleKeyCreator

All Implemented Interfaces:

ForeignKeyNullifier, SecondaryKeyCreator

Direct Known Subclasses:

TupleTupleMarshalledKeyCreator

public abstract class TupleTupleKeyCreator
extends TupleBase
implements SecondaryKeyCreator, ForeignKeyNullifier

An abstract key creator that uses a tuple key and a tuple data entry. This class takes care of converting the key and data entry to/from TupleInput and TupleOutput objects. The following abstract method must be implemented by a concrete subclass to create the index key using these objects

• createSecondaryKey(TupleInput,TupleInput,TupleOutput)

If ForeignKeyDeleteAction.NULLIFY was specified when opening the secondary database, the following method must be overridden to nullify the foreign index key. If NULLIFY was not specified, this method need not be overridden.

• nullifyForeignKey(TupleInput,TupleOutput)

If ForeignKeyDeleteAction.NULLIFY was specified when creating the secondary, this method is called when the entity for this foreign key is deleted. If NULLIFY was not specified, this method will not be called and may always return false.

TupleTupleKeyCreator

public TupleTupleKeyCreator()

Creates a tuple-tuple key creator.

Method Detail

createSecondaryKey

public boolean createSecondaryKey(SecondaryDatabase db,
                         DatabaseEntry primaryKeyEntry,
                         DatabaseEntry dataEntry,
                         DatabaseEntry indexKeyEntry)
                           throws DatabaseException

Description copied from interface: SecondaryKeyCreator

Javadoc for this public method is generated via the doc templates in the doc_src directory.

Specified by:

createSecondaryKey in interface SecondaryKeyCreator

Throws:

DatabaseException

nullifyForeignKey

public boolean nullifyForeignKey(SecondaryDatabase db,
                        DatabaseEntry dataEntry)
                          throws DatabaseException

Description copied from interface: ForeignKeyNullifier

Javadoc for this public method is generated via the doc templates in the doc_src directory.

Specified by:

nullifyForeignKey in interface ForeignKeyNullifier

Throws:

DatabaseException

createSecondaryKey

public abstract boolean createSecondaryKey(TupleInput primaryKeyInput,
                         TupleInput dataInput,
                         TupleOutput indexKeyOutput)

Creates the index key from primary key tuple and data tuple.

Parameters:

primaryKeyInput - is the TupleInput for the primary key entry.

dataInput - is the TupleInput for the data entry.

indexKeyOutput - is the destination index key tuple.

Returns:

true if a key was created, or false to indicate that the key is not present.

nullifyForeignKey

public boolean nullifyForeignKey(TupleInput dataInput,
                        TupleOutput dataOutput)

Clears the index key in the tuple data entry. The dataInput should be read and then written to the dataOutput, clearing the index key in the process.

The secondary key should be output or removed by this method such that createSecondaryKey(com.sleepycat.je.SecondaryDatabase, com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry, com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry, com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry) will return false. Other fields in the data object should remain unchanged.

Parameters:

dataInput - is the TupleInput for the data entry.

dataOutput - is the destination TupleOutput.

Returns:

true if the key was cleared, or false to indicate that the key is not present and no change is necessary.
