Package it.tidalwave.util.spi

Class HierarchicFinderSupport<T,F extends Finder<T>>

java.lang.Object

it.tidalwave.util.spi.HierarchicFinderSupport<T,F>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Finder<T>, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

FinderWithIdSupport, SimpleFinderSupport

public class HierarchicFinderSupport<T,F extends Finder<T>>
extends java.lang.Object
implements Finder<T>

A support class for implementing a Finder. Subclasses only need to implement the computeResults() method where raw results are retrieved (with raw we mean that they shouldn't be filtered or sorted, as post-processing will be performed by this class) and a clone constructor. If you don't need to extend the Finder with extra methods, please use the simplified SimpleFinderSupport.

HierarchicFinderSupport

protected HierarchicFinderSupport()

Default constructor.

HierarchicFinderSupport

protected HierarchicFinderSupport(@Nonnull
                                  HierarchicFinderSupport<T,F> other,
                                  @Nonnull
                                  java.lang.Object holder)

Clone constructor for subclasses.

Parameters:

other - the other instance to clone

holder - the holder object

Method Detail

clone

@Nonnull
public final HierarchicFinderSupport<T,F> clone()

Deprecated.

This method throws an exception since a Finder extending this class must be cloned with clonedWith(Object).

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

See Also:

clonedWith(Object)

clonedWith

@Nonnull
protected F clonedWith(@Nonnull
                       java.lang.Object override)

Create a clone of this object calling the special copy constructor by reflection.

Parameters:

override - the override object

Returns:

the clone

clone

@Nonnull
@Deprecated
protected F clone(@Nonnull
                  java.lang.Object override)

Deprecated.

Use clonedWith(Object) instead.

Create a clone of this object calling the special clone constructor by reflection.

Parameters:

override - the override object

Returns:

the clone

from

@Nonnull
public F from(@Nonnegative
              int firstResult)

Tells the Finder that only a subset of found items will be returned, starting from the given position.

Specified by:

from in interface Finder<T>

Parameters:

firstResult - the index of the first result to return

Returns:

the Finder

max

@Nonnull
public F max(@Nonnegative
             int maxResults)

Tells the Finder that only a maximum number of found items will be returned.

Specified by:

max in interface Finder<T>

Parameters:

maxResults - the max number of results to return

Returns:

the Finder

withContext

@Nonnull
public F withContext(@Nonnull
                     java.lang.Object context)

Tells the Finder that results should be created with the given context. This method can be called multiple times; contexts are accumulated.

Specified by:

withContext in interface Finder<T>

Parameters:

context - the context

Returns:

the Finder

ofType

@Nonnull
public <U> Finder<U> ofType(@Nonnull
                            java.lang.Class<U> type)
