Class GraphHolder

java.lang.Object

ome.model.internal.GraphHolder

public final class GraphHolder
extends Object

holds information regarding the graph to which an IObject belongs. hasToken(), tokenMatches(Token), and setToken(Token, Token) are final so that subclasses cannot intercept tokens.

Method Detail

getReplacement

public IObject getReplacement()

a replacement is a managed entity instance which has the same primary key as this instance. Storing this value here allows for several optimizations.

Returns:

entity

setReplacement

public void setReplacement(IObject replacement)

used mostly by ome.api.IUpdate. Improper use of this method may cause erratic behavior.

Parameters:

replacement -

hasToken

public final boolean hasToken()

tests if this GraphHolder contains a Token reference.

tokenMatches

public final boolean tokenMatches(Token token)

check the Token for the IObject represented by this GraphHolder. This can be seen to approximate "ownership" of this Object within the JVM.

Returns:

true only if the two instances are identical.

setToken

public final void setToken(Token previousToken,
                           Token newToken)

set the Token for this GraphHolder but only if you posses the current Token. The first call to setToken(Token, Token) will succeed when token is null.

Parameters:

previousToken -

newToken -
