The simplest way to remove an object from your entity store
|
||
is to delete it by its primary index. For example,
|
||
using the <code class="classname">SimpleDA</code> class that we
|
||
created earlier in this document
|
||
(see <a class="xref" href="simpleda.html" title="SimpleDA.class">SimpleDA.class</a>),
|
||
you can delete the <code class="classname">SimpleEntityClass</code>
|
||
object with a primary key of <code class="literal">keyone</code> as
|
||
follows:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">sda.pIdx.delete("keyone");</pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You can also delete objects by their secondary keys. When
|
||
you do this, all objects related to the secondary key are
|
||
deleted, unless the key is a foreign object.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For example, the following deletes all
|
||
<code class="classname">SimpleEntityClass</code> with a secondary
|
||
key of <code class="literal">skeyone</code>:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">sda.sIdx.delete("skeyone");</pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You can delete any single object by positioning a cursor to
|
||
that object and then calling the cursor's
|
||
<code class="methodname">delete()</code> method.
|
||
</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 {
|
||
SimpleEntityClass sec;
|
||
Iterator<SimpleEntityClass> i = sec_cursor.iterator();
|
||
while (sec = i.nextDup() != null) {
|
||
if (sec.getSKey() == "some value") {
|
||
i.delete();
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
// Always make sure the cursor is closed when we are done with it.
|
||
} finally {
|
||
sec_cursor.close(); } </pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Finally, if you are indexing by foreign key, then the
|
||
results of deleting the key is determined by the foreign
|
||
key constraint that you have set for the index. See
|
||
<a class="xref" href="dplindexcreate.html#foreignkey" title="Foreign Key Constraints">Foreign Key Constraints</a>
|
||
for more information.
