Interface Node<K,V>

All Known Implementing Classes:

NodeImpl

@ThreadSafe
public interface Node<K,V>

A Node is a named logical grouping of data in the TreeCache API of JBoss Cache. A node should be used to contain data for a single data record, for example information about a particular person or account.

One purpose of grouping cache data into separate nodes is to minimize transaction locking interference, and increase concurrency. So for example, when multiple threads or possibly distributed caches are accessing different accounts simultaneously.

A node has references to its children, parent (each node except the root - defined by Fqn.ROOT - has a single parent) and data contained within the node (as key/value pairs). The data access methods are similar to the collections Map interface, but some are read-only or return copies of the underlying data.

4.0

Returns:

the newly created node, or the existing node if one already exists.

                 Flag... flags)

boolean removeChild(Fqn f)

Removes a child node specified by the given relative Fqn.

If you wish to remove children based on absolute Fqns, use the TreeCache interface instead.

            V value)

If the specified key is not already associated with a value, associate it with the given value, and returns the Object (if any) that occupied the space, or null.

Equivalent to calling

   if (!node.getKeys().contains(key))
     return node.put(key, value);
   else
     return node.get(key);
 

except that this is atomic.

Parameters:

key - key with which the specified value is to be associated.

value - value to be associated with the specified key.

Returns:

previous value associated with specified key, or null if there was no mapping for key.

V putIfAbsent(K key,
            V value,
            Flag... flags)

replace

V replace(K key,
        V value)

Replace entry for key only if currently mapped to some value. Acts as

 if ((node.getKeys().contains(key))
 {
     return node.put(key, value);
 }
 else
     return null;
 

except that this is atomic.

Parameters:

key - key with which the specified value is associated.

value - value to be associated with the specified key.

Returns:

previous value associated with specified key, or null if there was no mapping for key.

replace

V replace(K key,
        V value,
        Flag... flags)

replace

boolean replace(K key,
              V oldValue,

 if (node.get(key).equals(oldValue))
 {
     node.put(key, newValue);
     return true;
 }
 else
     return false;
 

except that this is atomic.

Parameters:

key - key with which the specified value is associated.

oldValue - value expected to be associated with the specified key.

newValue - value to be associated with the specified key.

Returns:

true if the value was replaced

              Flag... flags)

putAll

void putAll(Map<? extends K,? extends V> map)

Copies all of the mappings from the specified map to this node's map. If any data exists, existing keys are overwritten with the keys in the new map. The behavior is equivalent to:

 for (Map.Entry me : map.entrySet())
   node.put(me.getKey(), me.getValue());
 

Parameters:

map - map to copy from

putAll

void putAll(Map<? extends K,? extends V> map,
          Flag... flags)

replaceAll

Similar to putAll(java.util.Map) except that it removes any entries that exists in the data map first. Note that this happens atomically, under a single lock. This is the analogous to doing a clearData() followed by a putAll(java.util.Map) in the same transaction.

boolean hasChild(Fqn f,
               Flag... flags)

Returns:

true if the child node denoted by the name passed in exists.

boolean hasChild(Object o,
               Flag... flags)

isValid

boolean isValid()

Tests if a node reference is still valid. A node reference may become invalid if it has been removed, invalidated or moved, either locally or remotely. If a node is invalid, it should be fetched again from the cache or a valid parent node. Operations on invalid nodes will throw a NodeNotValidException.

Returns:

true if the node is valid.
