To modify a stored entity object, retrieve it, update
|
|||
|
|
it, then put it back to the entity store:
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre class="programlisting">
|
|||
|
|
SimpleEntityClass sec = sda.pIdx.get("keyone");
|
|||
|
|
sec.setSKey("skeyoneupdated");
|
|||
|
|
sda.pIdx.put(sec);
|
|||
|
|
</pre>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Note that because we updated a field on the object that is
|
|||
|
|
a secondary key, this object will now be accessible by the
|
|||
|
|
secondary key of <code class="literal">skeyoneupdated</code> instead
|
|||
|
|
of the previous value, which was <code class="literal">skeyone</code>
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Be aware that if you modify the object's primary key, the behavior is
|
|||
|
|
somewhat different. In this case, you cause a new instance
|
|||
|
|
of the object to be created in the store, instead of
|
|||
|
|
replacing an existing instance:
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre class="programlisting">// Results in two objects in the store. One with a
|
|||
|
|
// primary index of "keyfive" and the other with primary index of
|
|||
|
|
//'keyfivenew'.
|
|||
|
|
SimpleEntityClass sec = sda.pIdx.get("keyfive");
|
|||
|
|
sec.setPKey("keyfivenew");
|
|||
|
|
sda.pIdx.put(sec); </pre>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Finally, if you are iterating over a collection of objects
|
|||
|
|
using an <code class="classname">EntityCursor</code>, you can
|
|||
|
|
update each object in turn using
|
|||
|
|
<code class="methodname">EntityCursor.update()</code>. Note,
|
|||
|
|
however, that you must be iterating using a
|
|||
|
|
<code class="classname">PrimaryIndex</code>; this operation is not
|
|||
|
|
allowed if you are using a
|
|||
|
|
<code class="classname">SecondaryIndex</code>.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
For example, the following iterates over every
|
|||
|
|
<code class="classname">SimpleEntityClass</code> object in the entity
|
|||
|
|
store, and it changes them all so that they have a
|
|||
|
|
secondary index of <code class="literal">updatedskey</code>:
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre class="programlisting">EntityCursor<SimpleEntityClass> sec_pcursor = sda.pIdx.entities();
|
|||
|
|
for (SimpleEntityClass sec : sec_pcursor) {
|
|||
|
|
sec.setSKey("updatedskey");
|
|||
|
|
sec_pcursor.update(item);
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
sec_pcursor.close(); </pre>
