Class NaturalIdLoadAccessImpl<T>

    • Method Detail

      • using

        public NaturalIdLoadAccess<T> using​(String attributeName,
                                            Object value)
        Description copied from interface: NaturalIdLoadAccess
        Add a NaturalId attribute value.
        Specified by:
        using in interface NaturalIdLoadAccess<T>
        Parameters:
        attributeName - The entity attribute name that is marked as a NaturalId
        value - The value of the attribute
        Returns:
        this, for method chaining
      • using

        public NaturalIdLoadAccess<T> using​(Object... mappings)
        Description copied from interface: NaturalIdLoadAccess
        Set multiple natural-id attribute values at once. The passed array is expected to have an even number of elements, with the attribute name followed by its value. E.g. `using( "system", "matrix", "username", "neo" )`

        using in interface NaturalIdLoadAccess<T>

      • setSynchronizationEnabled

        public NaturalIdLoadAccessImpl<T> setSynchronizationEnabled​(boolean synchronizationEnabled)
        Description copied from interface: NaturalIdLoadAccess
        For entities with mutable natural ids, should Hibernate perform "synchronization" prior to performing lookups? The default is to perform "synchronization" (for correctness).

        "synchronization" here indicates updating the natural-id -> pk cross reference maintained as part of the session. When enabled, prior to performing the lookup, Hibernate will check all entities of the given type associated with the session to see if its natural-id values have changed and, if so, update the cross reference. There is a performance impact associated with this, so if application developers are certain the natural-ids in play have not changed, this setting can be disabled to circumvent that impact. However, disabling this setting when natural-ids values have changed can result in incorrect results!

        Specified by:
        setSynchronizationEnabled in interface NaturalIdLoadAccess<T>
        Parameters:
        synchronizationEnabled - Should synchronization be performed? true indicates synchronization will be performed; false indicates it will be circumvented.
        Returns:
        this, for method chaining
      • getReference

        public final T getReference()
        Description copied from interface: NaturalIdLoadAccess
        Return the persistent instance with the natural id value(s) defined by the call(s) to NaturalIdLoadAccess.using(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object). This method might return a proxied instance that is initialized on-demand, when a non-identifier method is accessed. You should not use this method to determine if an instance exists; to check for existence, use NaturalIdLoadAccess.load() instead. Use this only to retrieve an instance that you assume exists, where non-existence would be an actual error.
        Specified by:
        getReference in interface NaturalIdLoadAccess<T>
        Returns:
        the persistent instance or proxy
      • load

        public final T load()
        Description copied from interface: NaturalIdLoadAccess
        Return the persistent instance with the natural id value(s) defined by the call(s) to NaturalIdLoadAccess.using(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object), or null if there is no such persistent instance. If the instance is already associated with the session, return that instance, initializing it if needed. This method never returns an uninitialized instance.
        Specified by:
        load in interface NaturalIdLoadAccess<T>
        Returns:
        The persistent instance or null
