schemaSynchronizationFactory in class EOAdaptor

Returns:

Should return the EOSchemaGeneration for the adaptor.

See Also:

EOSQLExpression

synchronizationFactory

@Deprecated
public EOSchemaGeneration synchronizationFactory()

Specified by:

synchronizationFactory in class EOAdaptor

Returns:

Should return the EOSynchronizationFactory for the adaptor.

See Also:

EOSQLExpression

createAdaptorContext

public EOAdaptorContext createAdaptorContext()

An abstract method that should be implemented by subclasses to create and return a new EOAdaptorContext, or null if a new context can't be created. A newly created EOAdaptor has no contexts.

Specified by:

createAdaptorContext in class EOAdaptor

Returns:

Should return a new EOAdaptorContext.

See Also:

EOAdaptor.contexts()

defaultExpressionClass

public Class defaultExpressionClass()

Description copied from class: EOAdaptor

An abstract method that should be implemented by subclasses to return the subclass of EOSQLExpression used as the default expression class for the adaptor. You won't ordinarily invoke this method directly. It is invoked automatically to determine which class should be used to represent query language expressions.

Specified by:

defaultExpressionClass in class EOAdaptor

Returns:

Should return the subclass of EOSQLExpression used as the default expression class for the adaptor.

See Also:

EOAdaptor.setExpressionClassName( String sqlExpressionClassName, String adaptorClassName)

isValidQualifierType

public boolean isValidQualifierType(String typeName,
                                    EOModel model)

Description copied from class: EOAdaptor

An abstract method that should be implemented by subclasses to return true if an attribute of type typeName can be used in a qualifier (an SQL WHERE clause) sent to the database server, false otherwise. typeName is the name of a type as required by the database server. model is an optional argument that can be used to supplement the adaptor's set of type mappings with additional mappings for user-defined database types.

Specified by:

isValidQualifierType in class EOAdaptor

Parameters:

typeName - The name of a type as determined by the database server.

model - A model.

Returns:

Should return true if an attribute of type typeName can be used in a qualifier.

assertConnectionDictionaryIsValid

public void assertConnectionDictionaryIsValid()

Description copied from class: EOAdaptor

An abstract method that should be implemented by subclasses to verify that the adaptor can connect to the database server with its connection dictionary. Should briefly form a connection to the server to validate the connection dictionary and then close the connection. This method should throw a runtime exception if the connection dictionary contains invalid information, or if any error occurs.

An actual connection is made when the first adaptor channel is sent an openChannel message.

Specified by:

assertConnectionDictionaryIsValid in class EOAdaptor

See Also:

EOAdaptor.setConnectionDictionary(NSDictionary dictionary), EOAdaptorChannel.openChannel()

setConnectionDictionary

public void setConnectionDictionary(NSDictionary dictionary)

Description copied from class: EOAdaptor

Sets the adaptor's connection dictionary to dictionary, which must only contain String, NSData, NSDictionary, and NSArray objects. Connection information can not be changed while the adaptor is connected. Throws an exception if there are any open channels when this method is invoked.

Subclasses of EOAdaptor don't need to override this method. A subclass that does override this method must incorporate the superclass's version by calling super.

Overrides:

setConnectionDictionary in class EOAdaptor

Parameters:

dictionary - The adaptor's connection dictionary.

See Also:

EOAdaptor.connectionDictionary(), EOAdaptor.hasOpenChannels(), EOAdaptor.assertConnectionDictionaryIsValid()

isDroppedConnectionException

public boolean isDroppedConnectionException(Exception exception)

Description copied from class: EOAdaptor

The default implementation returns false. Subclasses that support database reconnection should implement this method to allow for automatic database reconnection. This method should return true if the exception is one that the adaptor can attempt to recover from by reconnecting to the database, false otherwise.

Invoked if an exception is thrown during fetching or saving. If the adaptor returns true, it then attempts to reconnect to the database and retries the operation. If the reconnection attempt fails, the exception from the failure is thrown as usual. If the adaptor returns false, reconnection isn't attempted and the exception is thrown.

Overrides:

isDroppedConnectionException in class EOAdaptor

Parameters:

exception - An exception object.

Returns:

false by default.

See Also:

EOAdaptor.handleDroppedConnection(), EOAdaptor.Delegate.reconnectionDictionaryForAdaptor( EOAdaptor adaptor)

externalTypesWithModel

public NSArray externalTypesWithModel(EOModel model)

Description copied from class: EOAdaptor

The default implementation returns an empty array. This method can be overridden by subclasses to return the names of the database types for use with the adaptor.

model is an optional argument that can be used to supplement the adaptor's set of database types with additional, user-defined database types. Refer to your adaptor's documentation to determine whether, and how, it uses the model for type mapping.

Overrides:

externalTypesWithModel in class EOAdaptor

Parameters:

model - An optional argument that can be used to supplement the adaptor's set of database types with additional, user-defined database types.

Returns:

An empty array by default.

assignExternalInfoForEntireModel

public void assignExternalInfoForEntireModel(EOModel model)

Description copied from class: EOAdaptor

Assigns database-specific characteristics to model. Used in EOModeler to switch a model's adaptor. This method examines each entity in model. If an entity's external name is not set and all of the entity's attribute's external names are not set, then this method uses assignExternalInfoForEntity and assignExternalInfoForAttribute to assign external names. If the entity's external name is set or if any of the entity's attributes' external names are set, then the method doesn't assign external names to the entity or any of its attributes. Regardless, this method assigns external types for all the model's attributes. Recurses through entities and their attributes calling the conversion methods above.

A subclass of EOAdaptor doesn't need to implement this method.

Overrides:

assignExternalInfoForEntireModel in class EOAdaptor

Parameters:

model - The model.

See Also:

EOAdaptor.assignExternalInfoForEntity(EOEntity entity), EOAdaptor.assignExternalInfoForAttribute(EOAttribute attribute)

createEditingContext

public static EOEditingContext createEditingContext(String modelName,
                                                    String serverUrl,
                                                    String username,
                                                    String password)

Creates a new instance of EOEditingContext with the specified model, server URL, username, and password.

Parameters:

modelName - - the name of the model

serverUrl - - the server URL of the connection dictionary

username - - the username of the connection dictionary

password - - the password of the connection dictionary

Throws:

- - JNDIAdaptorException - if modelName is null
