Class PluginEmManager

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    IPluginEmManager

    public final class PluginEmManager
    extends Object
    implements IPluginEmManager
    A manager for an EntityManager that can be used by a plugin of type IPluginEntities. It is meant to be used within the backend of formcycle, i.e. for all formcycle urls that start with /ui or /portal. It takes care of creating a new entity manager when required or reusing an old one. When you use this manager, the EntityManager will also be closed automatically once an HTTP requests finishes. Create an instance of this class by passing it the EntityManagerFactory instance you received from IPluginEntitiesParams.getEntityManagerFactory().

    • Method Detail

      • beginTransaction

        public void beginTransaction()
        Description copied from interface: IPluginEmManager
        Begins a new transation, if no transaction is currently active. Creates a new entity manager if no EntityManager is associated with the current thread.
        Specified by:
        beginTransaction in interface IPluginEmManager
      • closeEntityManager

        public void closeEntityManager()
        Description copied from interface: IPluginEmManager
        If the EntityManager associated with the current thread is open, close it. Otherwise, does nothing.
        Specified by:
        closeEntityManager in interface IPluginEmManager
      • commit

        public void commit()
        Description copied from interface: IPluginEmManager
        If a transaction is currently active, commits it. Otherwise, does nothing.
        Specified by:

      • getEntityManager

        public javax.persistence.EntityManager getEntityManager()
        Specified by:
        getEntityManager in interface IPluginEmManager
        Returns:
        The EntityManager associated with the current thread. If no entity manager exists yet, returns null.
      • getOrCreateEntityManager

        public javax.persistence.EntityManager getOrCreateEntityManager()
        Specified by:
        getOrCreateEntityManager in interface IPluginEmManager
        Returns:
        The EntityManager associated with the current thread. If no entity manager exists yet, creates a new one.
      • isEntityDetached

        public boolean isEntityDetached​(Object entity)
        Description copied from interface: IPluginEmManager
        Checks whether a given entity is currently detached, ie not managed by the entity manager.
        Specified by:
        isEntityDetached in interface IPluginEmManager
        Parameters:
        entity - An entity to check.
        Returns:
        Whether the given entity is currently managed by the entity manager.
      • isTransactionActive

        public boolean isTransactionActive()
        Specified by:
        isTransactionActive in interface IPluginEmManager
        Returns:
        Whether a transaction is currently active.
      • newEntityContext

        public de.xima.cmn.dao.interfaces.IBaseEntityContext newEntityContext()
        Description copied from interface: IPluginEmManager
        This creates a new IBaseEntityContext you can use to read or write plugin entities. Make sure you always wrap this call in a try-with statement to ensure it is properly closed. This will take care of closing the underlying EntityManager at the appropriate time. Note that when you are within a backend context (eg a backend configuration menu or a portal page), the underlying entity manager is created only once for each HTTP request and reused during the request.

        You should use this method as follows:

         try (final IBaseEntityContext ec = pluginEmManager.newEntityContext()) {
           // use entity context with some DAO
           // this fetches all existing MyEntity
           new AbstractDao<MyEntity, Long, IBaseEntityContext>(MyEntity.class) {}.all(null, new QueryCriteriaManager());
         }
         
        Specified by:
        newEntityContext in interface IPluginEmManager
        Returns:
        A new IBaseEntityContext that can be used with the DAO API of formcycle.
      • rollback

        public void rollback()
        Description copied from interface: IPluginEmManager
        If a transaction is currently active, performs a rollback of that transaction. Otherwise, does nothing.
