MagicPrimaryKey

public static final String MagicPrimaryKey

The initial value of a primary key for a new row; the empty string.

Constructor Detail

JNDIPlugIn

public JNDIPlugIn()

Creates a new instance of JNDIPlugIn.

Method Detail

jndiTypes

public abstract NSArray jndiTypes()

Gets the JNDI types. EOModeler requires external types, primarily for reverse engineering.

Returns:

instance of NSArray

See Also:

JNDIType, EOAdaptor#externalTypesWithModel(EOModel), EOAdaptorChannel#describeModelWithTableNames(NSArray)

defaultType

public abstract JNDIType defaultType()

Gets the default JNDI type. The default type is used by EOModeler for reverse engineering in case the external type of an attribute cannot be determined.

Returns:

the default JNDI type

See Also:

JNDIPlugIn.jndiTypes(), JNDIType, EOAdaptorChannel#describeModelWithTableNames(NSArray)

createInitialDirContext

public InitialDirContext createInitialDirContext(JNDIAdaptor adaptor)

Creates a new instance of InitialDirContext with the specified adaptor.

Parameters:

adaptor - - the instance of JNDIAdaptor

Returns:

instance of InitialDirContext

Throws:

- - JNDIAdaptorException - if adaptor is null

See Also:

JNDIAdaptor, InitialDirContext

base

public abstract String base(EOFetchSpecification fetchSpecification,
                            EOEntity entity)

Creates a base with the specified fetch specification and entity. The base represents the relative name of a context or object in a search. For a typical fetch-all operation, the base will be the empty string. For fetching a particular row, the base will be the relative distinguished name. See RFC 2253 UTF-8 String Representation of Distinguished Names

Parameters:

fetchSpecification - - the fetch specification

entity - - the entity

Returns:

base

EOFetchSpecification, EOEntity, DirContext.search(javax.naming.Name, javax.naming.directory.Attributes, java.lang.String[])

filter

public abstract String filter(EOFetchSpecification fetchSpecification,
                              EOEntity entity)

Creates a filter with the specified fetch specification and entity. The filter represents the filter expression to use in a search. See RFC 2254 The String Representation of LDAP Search Filters

Parameters:

fetchSpecification - - the fetch specification

entity - - the entity

Returns:

filter

EOFetchSpecification, EOEntity, DirContext.search(javax.naming.Name, javax.naming.directory.Attributes, java.lang.String[])

performChannelOperation

public Object performChannelOperation(JNDIPlugIn.ChannelOperation operation)

relativeDistinguishedNameForNewRow

public String relativeDistinguishedNameForNewRow(NSDictionary row,
                                                 EOAttribute relativeDistinguishedNameAttribute,
                                                 String currentRelativeDistinguishedNameAttributeValue)

Gets the relative distinguished name for a new row. The default implementation returns the current value of the relative distinguished name attribute. In most cases, the current value will be the Magic Primary Key, and the default implementation will not suffice. See RFC 2253 UTF-8 String Representation of Distinguished Names

Parameters:

row - - the row

relativeDistinguishedNameAttribute - - the primary key attribute

currentRelativeDistinguishedNameAttributeValue - - the current value of the primary key
