Method Details

load

public final P load(D node,
 LoadContext ctx,
 Path path)
             throws SkipException

Description copied from interface: Translator

Loads the content of the specified datastore node, returning the pojo equivalent.

There is one special return value: If a Result is returned, the content of the Result will be used instead, but delayed until ctx.done() is called. This happens at the end of a "round" of load operations and is the magic trick that makes populating entity references work efficiently.

Specified by:

load in interface Translator<P,D>

Parameters:

node - is the part of the native datastore entity tree we are transforming.

ctx - holds state information during an entity load.

path - is the current path to this translator

Returns:

an assembled pojo corresponding to the node subtree; if null is returned, that is the real value!

Throws:

SkipException - if the return value should be abandoned.

save

public final D save(P pojo,
 boolean index,
 SaveContext ctx,
 Path path)
             throws SkipException

Description copied from interface: Translator

Translates a pojo (or some component thereof) into a format suitable for storage in the datastore.

Specified by:

save in interface Translator<P,D>

Parameters:

pojo - is an object from the pojo entity graph; possibly the whole graph or possibly just a leaf field.

index - is whether the instruction so far is to index or not index property values

path - is the path that we have taken to get here, which could be long due to re-entrant translators (ie, an embedded pojo that also has a reference to the same class).

Returns:

something suitable for storage in the datastore.

Throws:

SkipException - if the return value should be abandoned

loadSafe

protected abstract P loadSafe(D node,
 LoadContext ctx,
 Path path)
                       throws SkipException

Implement this, returning a proper translated value

Parameters:

node - will never be null

Throws:

SkipException

saveSafe

protected abstract D saveSafe(P pojo,
 boolean index,
 SaveContext ctx,
 Path path)
                       throws SkipException

Implement this, returning a proper translated value

Parameters:

pojo - will never be null

Throws:

SkipException
