Method Detail

getRequiredObjects

public List<Exportable> getRequiredObjects(boolean isMainObject)
                                    throws Exception

Description copied from interface: Exportable

This method is called by the exporter before an object is exported. The object can add required objects.

Specified by:

getRequiredObjects in interface Exportable

Parameters:

isMainObject - is this a reference to an exported object

Returns:

preReqObjects List containing required objects. Required objects must be Persistent objects implementing the Exportable interface.

Throws:

Exception

getAdditionalObjects

public List<Exportable> getAdditionalObjects(boolean isMainObject)
                                      throws Exception

Description copied from interface: Exportable

return a list of objects that must be exported with this object (after it).

Specified by:

getAdditionalObjects in interface Exportable

Parameters:

isMainObject - is this a reference to an exported object

Throws:

Exception

getRequiredReferences

public List<Exportable> getRequiredReferences()
                                       throws Exception

Description copied from interface: Exportable

Returns a list of references that cannot be found in the persistent fields.

Specified by:

getRequiredReferences in interface Exportable

Returns:

a list of exportable

Throws:

Exception

beforeImport

public void beforeImport(Map<String,Persistent> oidmapping)

Description copied from interface: Exportable

This method is called by the importer after the object is filled with data. The object can change itself

Specified by:

beforeImport in interface Exportable

Parameters:

oidmapping - contains a map of the object identifier (classname:oid) to the new objects.

getKeys

public String[][] getKeys()

Description copied from interface: Exportable

A class has to return key groups in order to identify already existing objects of that class. A key group must uniquely identify an object. This method returns an array of arrays, because a class can have more than one key group. In that case each of the key groups must be unique for an object to be unique (thus, group1 matches OR group2 matches etc.).

Specified by:

getKeys in interface Exportable

Returns:

An array of arrays containing object field names of the fields which form key groups for uniquely identifying objects of classes implementing this interface. An example would be {{"name", "birthdate"}} for a class defining one key group containing the fields name and birthdate.

exportFields

public List<Field> exportFields()
                         throws Exception

Description copied from interface: Exportable

Here a class can return the names of fields which should be exported during an @enterprise export.

Specified by:

exportFields in interface Exportable

Returns:

A list containing the fields for export.

Throws:

Exception
