It is possible to iterate over every object referenced
|
|||
|
|
by a specific index. You may want to do this if, for
|
|||
|
|
example, you want to examine or modify every object
|
|||
|
|
accessible by a specific primary index.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
In addition, some indexes result in the retrieval of multiple
|
|||
|
|
objects. For example, <code class="literal">MANY_TO_ONE</code>
|
|||
|
|
secondary indexes can result in more than one object for any given
|
|||
|
|
key (also known as <span class="emphasis"><em>duplicate keys</em></span>).
|
|||
|
|
When this is the case, you must iterate
|
|||
|
|
over the resulting set of objects in order to examine
|
|||
|
|
each object in turn.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
There are two ways to iterate over a collection of
|
|||
|
|
objects as returned by an index. One is to use a
|
|||
|
|
standard Java <code class="classname">Iterator</code>, which you
|
|||
|
|
obtain using an <code class="classname">EntityCursor</code>,
|
|||
|
|
which in turn you can obtain from a <code class="classname">PrimaryIndex</code>:
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre class="programlisting">PrimaryIndex<String,SimpleEntityClass> pi =
|
|||
|
|
store.getPrimaryIndex(String.class, SimpleEntityClass.class);
|
|||
|
|
EntityCursor<SimpleEntityClass> pi_cursor = pi.entities();
|
|||
|
|
try {
|
|||
|
|
Iterator<SimpleEntityClass> i = pi_cursor.iterator();
|
|||
|
|
while (i.hasNext()) {
|
|||
|
|
// Do something here
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
} finally {
|
|||
|
|
// Always close the cursor
|
|||
|
|
pi_cursor.close();
|
|||
|
|
} </pre>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Alternatively, you can use a Java "foreach" statement
|
|||
|
|
to iterate over object set:
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre class="programlisting">PrimaryIndex<String,SimpleEntityClass> pi =
|
|||
|
|
store.getPrimaryIndex(String.class, SimpleEntityClass.class);
|
|||
|
|
EntityCursor<SimpleEntityClass> pi_cursor = pi.entities();
|
|||
|
|
try {
|
|||
|
|
for (SimpleEntityClass seci : pi_cursor) {
|
|||
|
|
// do something with each object "seci"
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
// Always make sure the cursor is closed when we are done with it.
|
|||
|
|
} finally {
|
|||
|
|
pi_cursor.close();
|
|||
|
|
} </pre>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

When a cursor is first opened, it is not
|
|||
|
|
positioned to any value; that is,
|
|||
|
|
it is not <span class="emphasis"><em>initialized</em></span>.
|
|||
|
|
Most of the <code class="classname">EntityCursor</code>
|
|||
|
|
methods that move a cursor will initialize it
|
|||
|
|
to either the first or last object, depending
|
|||
|
|
on whether the operation is moving the cursor
|
|||
|
|
forward (all <code class="literal">next...</code>
|
|||
|
|
methods) or backwards (all
|
|||
|
|
<code class="literal">prev...</code>) methods.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
You can also force a cursor, whether it is
|
|||
|
|
initialized or not, to return the first object
|
|||
|
|
by calling
|
|||
|
|
<code class="methodname">EntityCursor.first()</code>.
|
|||
|
|
Similarly, you can force a return of the last
|
|||
|
|
object using
|
|||
|
|
<code class="methodname">EntityCursor.last()</code>.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Operations that do not move the cursor (such as
|
|||
|
|
<code class="methodname">EntityCursor.current()</code>
|
|||
|
|
or <code class="methodname">EntityCursor.delete()</code>
|
|||
|
|
will throw an
|
|||
|
|
<code class="classname">IllegalStateException</code>
|
|||
|
|
when used on an uninitialized cursor.
|
|||
|
|

If you have duplicate secondary keys, you can return an
|
|||
|
|
<code class="classname">EntityIndex</code> class object for them
|
|||
|
|
using <code class="methodname">SecondaryIndex.subIndex()</code>
|
|||
|
|
Then, use that object's
|
|||
|
|
<code class="methodname">entities()</code>
|
|||
|
|
method to obtain an <code class="classname">EntityCursor</code>
|
|||
|
|
instance.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
For example:
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre class="programlisting">PrimaryIndex<String,SimpleEntityClass> pi =
|
|||
|
|
store.getPrimaryIndex(String.class, SimpleEntityClass.class);
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SecondaryIndex<String,String,SimpleEntityClass> si =
|
|||
|
|
store.getSecondaryIndex(pi, String.class, "sKey");
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
EntityCursor<SimpleEntityClass> sec_cursor =
|
|||
|
|
si.subIndex("skeyone").entities();
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
try {
|
|||
|
|
for (SimpleEntityClass seci : sec_cursor) {
|
|||
|
|
// do something with each object "seci"
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
// Always make sure the cursor is closed when we are done with it.
|
|||
|
|
} finally {
|
|||
|
|
sec_cursor.close(); } </pre>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Note that if you are working with duplicate keys, you can
|
|||
|
|
control how cursor iteration works by using the following
|
|||
|
|
<code class="classname">EntityCursor</code> methods:
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
|||
|
|
<ul type="disc">

|

|
|
<code class="methodname">nextDup()</code>
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Moves the cursor to the next object with the
|
|||
|
|
same key as the cursor is currently
|
|||
|
|
referencing. That is, this method returns the
|
|||
|
|
next duplicate object. If no such object
|
|||
|
|
exists, this method returns
|
|||
|
|
<code class="literal">null</code>.

</p>
|

|
</li>
|

<li>
|

<code class="methodname">prevDup()</code>

</p>
|

<p>
|
|||
|
|
Moves the cursor to the previous object with the
|
|||
|

same key as the cursor is currently

|
referencing. That is, this method returns the
|
|||

</p>
|

|

</li>
|

|

<li>
|

|
|
<p>
|

<code class="methodname">nextNoDup()</code>
|
|||
|

</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Moves the cursor to the next object in the
|
|||
|
|
cursor's set that has a key which is different
|
|||
|
|
than the key that the cursor is currently
|
|||
|
|
referencing. That is, this method skips all
|
|||
|
|
duplicate objects and returns the
|
|||
|
|
next non-duplicate object in the cursor's set
|
|||
|
|
of objects. If no such object exists, this method returns

|

You can restrict the scope of a cursor's movement
|
|||
|
|
by specifying a <span class="emphasis"><em>range</em></span> when you
|
|||
|
|
create the cursor. The cursor can then never be
|
|||
|
|
positioned outside of the specified range.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
When specifying a range, you indicate whether a
|
|||
|
|
range bound is <span class="emphasis"><em>inclusive</em></span> or
|
|||
|
|
<span class="emphasis"><em>exclusive</em></span> by providing a
|
|||
|
|
boolean value for each range.
|
|||
|
|
<code class="literal">true</code> indicates that the provided
|
|||
|
|
bound is inclusive, while <code class="literal">false</code>
|
|||
|
|
indicates that it is exclusive.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
You provide this information when you call
|
|||
|
|
<code class="classname">PrimaryIndex.entities()</code>
|
|||
|
|
or
|
|||
|
|
<code class="classname">SecondaryIndex.entities()</code>.
|
|||
|
|
For example, suppose you had a class indexed by
|
|||
|
|
numerical information. Suppose further that you
|
|||
|
|
wanted to examine only those objects with indexed
|
|||
|
|
values of 100 - 199. Then (assuming the numerical
|
|||
|
|
information is the primary index), you can bound
|
|||
|
|
your cursor as follows:
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre class="programlisting">
|
|||
|
|
EntityCursor<SomeEntityClass> cursor =
|
|||
|
|
primaryIndex.entities(100, true, 200, false);
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
try {
|
|||
|
|
for (SomeEntityClass sec : cursor {
|
|||
|
|
// Do something here to objects ranged from 100 to 199
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
// Always make sure the cursor is closed when we are done with it.

cursor.close(); } </pre>
