  • Method Details

    • getLastModificationTimestamp

      Long getLastModificationTimestamp()
      Get the time (unix timestamp) the collection was modified last
      Returns:
      unix timestamp of last modification date
    • setLastModificationTimestamp

      void setLastModificationTimestamp(Long timestamp)
      Set the time the collection was modified last
      Parameters:
      timestamp - the timestamp
    • merge

      Merge collection other into the actual collection. Entries will be compared by ID, i.e.: equal IDs will be considered as equal objects. Newer objects take precedence over older, if both have the same modification date objects in collection other take precedence over objects in the actual collection.
      Parameters:
      other - the other
      Returns:
      a newly created collection containing the most recent entities of both lists
    • merge

      Comet3Collection<T> merge(Comet3Collection<T> other, boolean deleteObj)
      Merge collection other into the actual collection. Entries will be compared by ID, i.e.: equal IDs will be considered as equal objects. Newer objects take precedence over older, if both have the same modification date objects in collection other take precedence over objects in the actual collection. If deleteObj is set to true, objects not contained in collection other will be deleted from the actual collection.
      Parameters:
      other - the other
      deleteObj - the delete obj
      Returns:
      a newly created collection containing the most recent entities of both lists
    • merge

      void merge(T item)
      Merge an item into the actual list. If this item does not yet exist (i.e.: there is no such object with the same Id), the item will be added, otherwise items will be merged according to the merge rules for this particular entity type.
      Parameters:
      item - the item
    • findById

      T findById(int id)
      Lookup the Entity refered by id in this collection.
      Parameters:
      id - the id
      Returns:
      Entity object or null, if no such object exists
    • getXmlRootElementName

      String getXmlRootElementName()
      Get the name of the XML root element. Typically this is getClass().getSimpleName().toLowerCase() and is implemented in the CometCollectionImpl adapter class.
      Returns:
      name of the XML root element
    • getXmlFileName

      String getXmlFileName()
      Get the name of the XML file associated with this particular collection. Typically this is getClass().getSimpleName().toLowerCase() + ".xml" and is implemented in the CometCollectionImpl adapter class
      Returns:
      name of a XML file holding this particular list
