Method Detail

clone

public Object clone(CopyContext context)

Clones this object using the specified context.

This method should be implemented to call a copy constructor on the class of the object being cloned. The copy constructor should take the CopyContext as a parameter in addition to the existing instance to copy. The copy constructor should first call CopyContext.addObjectMapping(T, T) to identify the newly constructed instance as a copy of the existing instance. It should then copy all fields, using CopyContext.updateReference(T) to copy any reference fields.

A typical implementation of ICloneWithContext:

public static class MyClass implements ICloneWithContext {
    public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
        context.addObjectMapping(existingInstance, this);
        someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    }

    @Override
    public final Object clone(CopyContext context) {
        return new MyClass(this, context);
    }

    private Object someReference;
}

In general, all fields that are reference types should be copied with a call to CopyContext.updateReference(T). There are a couple of exceptions:

1. Fields that are aggregate parts of the object should always be copied. A referenced object is an aggregate if properties or methods on the object being copied can modify the externally-visible value of the referenced object.
2. If the semantics of the referenced object require that it have a single parent, owner, context, etc., and the object being copied is that parent, owner, or context, then the referenced object should always be copied.

If one of these exceptions applies, the CopyContext should be given an opportunity to update the reference before the reference is copied explicitly. Use CopyContext.updateReference(T) to update the reference. If CopyContext.updateReference(T) returns the original object, indicating that the context does not have a replacement registered, then copy the object manually by invoking a Clone method, a copy constructor, or by manually constructing a new instance and copying the values.

alwaysCopy = context.updateReference(existingInstance.alwaysCopy);
if (existingInstance.alwaysCopy != null && alwaysCopy == existingInstance.alwaysCopy) {
    alwaysCopy = (AlwaysCopy) existingInstance.alwaysCopy.clone(context);
}

If you are implementing an evaluator (a class that implements IEvaluator), the IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) method shares some responsibilities with the copy context constructor. Code duplication can be avoided by doing the following:

1. For references to other evaluators ONLY, simply assign the reference in the constructor instead of calling CopyContext.updateReference(T). You should still call CopyContext.updateReference(T) on any references to non-evaluators.
2. Call IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as the last line in the constructor and pass it the same CopyContext passed to the constructor.
3. Implement IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as normal. See the reference documentation for IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) for more information on implementing that method.

public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
    super(existingInstance, context);
    someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    evaluatorReference = existingInstance.evaluatorReference;
    updateEvaluatorReferences(context);
}

@Override
public void updateEvaluatorReferences(CopyContext context) {
    evaluatorReference = context.updateReference(evaluatorReference);
}

@Override
public Object clone(CopyContext context) {
    return new MyClass(this, context);
}

private Object someReference;
private IEvaluator evaluatorReference;

Specified by:

clone in interface ICloneWithContext

Specified by:

clone in class DefinitionalObject

Parameters:

context - The context to use to perform the copy.

Returns:

A new instance which is a copy of this object.

checkForSameDefinition

protected final boolean checkForSameDefinition(EntityFilter<TEntity> other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Specified by:

checkForSameDefinition in class EntityFilter<TEntity extends IEntityIdentifier & IEntityLastUpdate>

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

checkForSameDefinition

protected boolean checkForSameDefinition(AccessEntityFilter<TEntity> other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode

protected int computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode()

Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the AccessEntityFilter.checkForSameDefinition(agi.foundation.tracking.EntityFilter<TEntity>) method.

Overrides:

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode in class EntityFilter<TEntity extends IEntityIdentifier & IEntityLastUpdate>

Returns:

The computed hash code.

enumerateDependencies

public void enumerateDependencies(DependencyEnumerator enumerator)

Enumerates the dependencies of this object by calling DependencyEnumerator#enumerate(T) for each object that this object directly depends upon. Derived classes which contain additional dependencies MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and enumerate dependencies introduced by the derived class.

Specified by:

enumerateDependencies in interface IEnumerateDependencies

Overrides:

enumerateDependencies in class DefinitionalObject

Parameters:

enumerator - The enumerator that is informed of the dependencies of this object.

getQuery

public final AccessQuery getQuery()

Gets the AccessQuery. Only entities for which this query returns AccessClassification.ACCESS_EXISTS will be matched by this filter. AccessEntityFilter.applyChanges(agi.foundation.EvaluatorGroup) must be called after setting this property in order for the change to take effect. If this query is a composite query (such as AccessQueryAnd), it is usually necessary to have its TimeObserver (get / set) property set to one of the participants in the query. If this query is an AccessConstraint, the TimeObserver (get / set) property can be null.

setQuery

public final void setQuery(AccessQuery value)

Sets the AccessQuery. Only entities for which this query returns AccessClassification.ACCESS_EXISTS will be matched by this filter. AccessEntityFilter.applyChanges(agi.foundation.EvaluatorGroup) must be called after setting this property in order for the change to take effect. If this query is a composite query (such as AccessQueryAnd), it is usually necessary to have its TimeObserver (get / set) property set to one of the participants in the query. If this query is an AccessConstraint, the TimeObserver (get / set) property can be null.

getTimeObserver

public final IServiceProvider getTimeObserver()

Gets the IServiceProvider that will be used to evaluate the Query (get / set).

setTimeObserver

public final void setTimeObserver(IServiceProvider value)

Sets the IServiceProvider that will be used to evaluate the Query (get / set).

getTransactionParameter

public final TransactionParameter getTransactionParameter()

Gets the Transaction parameter placeholder in the Query (get / set). AccessEntityFilter.applyChanges(agi.foundation.EvaluatorGroup) must be called after setting this property in order for the change to take effect.

setTransactionParameter

public final void setTransactionParameter(TransactionParameter value)

Sets the Transaction parameter placeholder in the Query (get / set). AccessEntityFilter.applyChanges(agi.foundation.EvaluatorGroup) must be called after setting this property in order for the change to take effect.

getEntityParameter

public final EntityParameter<TEntity> getEntityParameter()

Gets the entity parameter placeholder in the Query (get / set). AccessEntityFilter.applyChanges(agi.foundation.EvaluatorGroup) must be called after setting this property in order for the change to take effect.

setEntityParameter

public final void setEntityParameter(EntityParameter<TEntity> value)

Sets the entity parameter placeholder in the Query (get / set). AccessEntityFilter.applyChanges(agi.foundation.EvaluatorGroup) must be called after setting this property in order for the change to take effect.

applyChanges

public final void applyChanges(@Nonnull
                               EvaluatorGroup group)

Applies the changes to this filter. This method must be called after setting the Query (get / set), TransactionParameter (get / set), or EntityParameter (get / set) properties in order for the changes to take effect. It is also necessary to call this method after changing any of the objects referenced directly or indirectly by these properties. Changes will take effect the next time after calling this method that entities are redistributed within the filter chain with a call to EntityFilterChain.redistributeEntities().

Parameters:

group - The evaluator group in which to obtain evaluators.

Throws:

ArgumentNullException - Thrown when group is null.

PropertyInvalidException - Thrown when Query (get / set), TransactionParameter (get / set), or EntityParameter (get / set) is null.

entityMatchingSetup

protected void entityMatchingSetup(Transaction transaction)

Allows the filter to perform any filter-specific setup at the start of entity matching. This method is called by EntityFilter.beginEntityMatching(agi.foundation.Transaction).

Overrides:

entityMatchingSetup in class EntityFilter<TEntity extends IEntityIdentifier & IEntityLastUpdate>

Parameters:

transaction - The transaction to be used to match entities.

isMatch

public boolean isMatch(Transaction transaction,
                       TEntity entity)

Returns true if the provided entity fits the filter criteria.

Specified by:

isMatch in class EntityFilter<TEntity extends IEntityIdentifier & IEntityLastUpdate>

Parameters:

transaction - The transaction used for getting values from the entity.

entity - The entity to be filtered.

Returns:

true if the entity meets the filter criteria; otherwise false.
