Interface EntityConnection

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable
All Known Subinterfaces:
HttpEntityConnection, LocalEntityConnection

public interface EntityConnection extends AutoCloseable
A connection to a database, for querying and manipulating Entitys and running database operations specified by a single Domain model. execute(FunctionType) and execute(ProcedureType) do not perform any transaction control whereas the select, insert, update and delete methods perform a commit unless they are run within a transaction. A static helper class for mass data manipulation.

    • entities

      Entities entities()
      Returns:
      the underlying domain entities
    • user

      Returns:
      the user being used by this connection
    • connected

      boolean connected()
      Returns:
      true if the connection has been established and is valid
    • close

      void close()

    • startTransaction

      void startTransaction()
      Starts a transaction on this connection.

      NOTE: A transaction should ALWAYS be used in conjunction with a try/catch block,
      in order for the transaction to be properly ended in case of an exception.
      A transaction should always be started OUTSIDE the try/catch block.

       
       EntityConnection connection = connectionProvider().connection();
      
       connection.startTransaction(); // Very important, should NOT be inside the try block
       try {
           connection.insert(entity);
      
           connection.commitTransaction();
       }
       catch (DatabaseException e) {
           connection.rollbackTransaction();
           throw e;
       }
       catch (Exception e) {          // Very important to catch Exception
           connection.rollbackTransaction();
           throw new RuntimeException(e);
       }

      void setQueryCacheEnabled(boolean queryCacheEnabled)
      Controls the enabled state of the query result cache. Queries are cached on a EntityConnection.Select basis, but never when selecting for update. The cache is cleared when disabled.
