| 1 | Are we going to have XPath/query builder? | ||
| 2 | the current SPI builds restrictions and has special methods to combine them. Having a fluent interface in my opinion would be way more intuitive and practical. E.g. //AND of two restrictions Restriction and(Restriction firstRestriction, Restriction secondRestriction) //OR of two restrictions Restriction or(Restriction firstRestriction, Restriction secondRestriction) //NOT of a restriction Restriction not(Restriction restriction) This will give any user of the API an intuitive way to build a complex query and the developer of the API a tree to navigate and translate to SQL (or any other query language). A developer could do something the likes of myQuery.setRestriction(restriction1.and(restrcition2).and(restriction3)) | ||
| 3 | SPI should be type safe (the SPI impl. has no access to models)
| Marks study suggests using type safe. We can do validation but still store as a string (JSON object). |
...
This SPI implementation is towards neo4ja NoSQL database. The SPI depends on the DPS API and the model service API.

| Name | Definition | Capabilities | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Interface QueryService | Service responsible for dealing with query related features of Data Persistence Service. |
Executes the query and presents the result as an iterator of objects queried for. Will always return the full object from the database.
Executes the query and presents the result as a list. Returns a list of the type of which is based on the Projection used.
Executes the query and presents the result as a list. Will return a list of type Object array.
Executes the query and presents the result as a count of how many instances are matched against the query.
Deletes all matching objects and where appropriate deletes any related managed object (children). This method parameters are;
|
| 2 | Interface QueryPathService | Service responsible for dealing with path query related features of Data Persistence Service. |
Executes the query ands gets the result as an iterable of 'full' objects queried.
Project the results from points in the query path. Projections allow the user project a single data element from the objects which were found along a query path - these elements can be modelled (i.e. persistence object attributes) or non-modelled (i.e. object fields). |

|
| 12 | Class ListRestriction | Common functionality of a List restriction. |
|
| 13 | Class LogicalRestriction | Implement logical restriction (AND/OR) and the negation of this logical restriction. |
|
| 14 | Class NullValueRestriction | Implementation of the null value restriction and not null value restriction. |
|
| 15 | Class ObjectFieldBetweenRestriction | Class to resolve between and not between restrictions for ObjectFields. |

|
| 20 | Class ObjectFieldRetriever | Some object field restrictions serialized as part of a saved query by earlier versions of the relevant restriction class may be missing the object field when deserialized. This utility class allows the missing object field to be determined from the 'attributeName' that will have been stored instead. TODO This workaround can be removed once we have given teams time to recreate any object field saved queries they may have. |
ObjectField.getFieldName() method. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Interface PersistenceLayerPersistenceObject | Exposes functionality only available on the persistence layer objects. |
Sets the new version of this persistence object.
Remove all associations of this persistence object. |
| 2 | Interface PersistenceLayerManagedObject | Exposes functionality only available on the persistence layer objects. |
Used to pre-load children from the database into memory. This method is provided to optimise use cases which will be doing multiple calls to |
| 3 | Class MinimalObjectData | Provides the basic information needed to access an object. |
Retrieves the native database ID of the object.
Retrieves the type of the object.
Retrieves the version of the object.
|
| 4 | Interface DecoratedPersistenceObject | Extends the public persistence object interface with methods that are used internally by DPS but are not to be exposed externally to clients. |
Retrieves the native database identity of the database object backing this persistence object. Use of this must be done with great care, as it will vary in its behaviour with respect to consistency, volatility, etc. depending on the database being used. It should never be exposed to applications and is for use within the DPS layer only.
Gets the data bucket name to which this persistence object belongs.
Gets the persistence layer object without any layers of decoration. If the innermost object is not a persistence layer object then a suitable exception will be thrown.
Gets the object being decorated by the layer of decoration specified.
Passes the attributes supplied by the user for a new persistence object so that they may be verified as required. This method will be invoked when creating a new persistence object but should not be used to set the attribute values, that is the purpose of The purpose of this method is to allow decorators perform actions on the specific attributes supplied by the user, as opposed to the final set of attributes to be applied on the new object, which may contain merged in default values. The implementation of this method may not modify the supplied attribute map as they are passed through the layers of decorators. And if the original map is required for later use it should be copied as it may get changed subsequently when
Initializes the attributes for a new persistence object. This method should be invoked when creating a new persistence object rather than using setAttributes() as it will have different behavior, namely:
The implementation of this method may modify the supplied attribute map as they are passed through the layers of decorators.
Removes backpointer from this persistence object to the persistence object which is referencing it by uni-directional with backpointer association.
Sets backpointer from this persistence object to the persistence object which is referencing it by uni-directional with backpointer association.
Retrieves referencing persistence objects for backpointer names for all uni-directional with backpointer associations referencing this persistence object.
Gets the values for the attributes which have been specifically set on this object. This includes attributes which:
Note that an attribute may have been specifically set to null so the values returned in the map may contain nulls.
Determines if the supplied attribute has been specifically set (includes attributes which were set to null).
Gets the primary type specification for this object.
Gets change identifier for this persistence object.
Gets all of the attribute names available in this persistence object.
Unsets the values of the supplied attributes. |
