Interface Database

public interface Database

Manages database access. Each Thread has an instance of this class, that it can use to access the database.

Many methods take a parameter indicating whether security checks should be performed. If true, then the methods verify that the current operator (whose information is stored in the requestor context) can perform the operation, and throw an exception if the operator can not.

When this document talks about "deferring" a database operation, it means that the database operation is performed when the commit() method is next called (or cancelled when rollback() is called).

openForAllCircumstanceVals

                                         throws DatabaseException

Deprecated.

Returns the rules with he requested keys; all the rule versions that could be chosen for all possible circumstances are returned. Both blocked and unblocked rule versions are returned.

This is useful when you want to resolve a rule, but you want to resolve it for all possible circumstance values. This is usually desired in rules that produce generated Java. Instead of generating a seperate Java class for each circumstance-qualified version of a rule, it is usually better to generate a Java class that takes into account rule versions for all possible circumstances. In these cases, the logic that selects a particular circumstance-qualified version to use is built into the generated Java. No locking will be attempted

Parameters:

aInstancePage - a page containing the instance's key parts

aRuleInfo - filled in with information about the returned rule

Returns:

a map of potential circumstance values to the results of performing rule resolution for each circumstance value. These results are expressed as instances of CircumstanceResult. If there is a default result (that is, a version that is to be used if none of the circumstance-qualified versions match), then it is stored in the map with a null key. (This map should not be updated--it might be read-only.)

Throws:

BadClassDefinitionException - if the instance keys specify an invalid instance class (pxObjClass) or if the instance keys specify an instance that belongs to class that uses inheritance, and the keys specify a bad object class (pyClassName). The processing status is set to error and the message is Database-BadClassDef-BadObjectClass.

ConfigurationException - if the database table configuration is bad

MultipleCircumstancePropertiesException - if more than one circumstance property is found

BadInputException - if there is a problem with the key page

BadInstanceDataException - if the database instance is corrupt

DatabaseException - if there is a problem with the database

Parameters:

aInstancePage - the page containing the instance to write. Its pzInsKey property (and other properties) are potentially updated. This should not be a read-only page.

aOnlyIfNew - If true, then this instance is saved only if there is not already an instance with the same handle in the database; if there is such an instance, then the instance is not saved, a processing status error is reported, and the method throws a DatabaseException. If false, any previous instance in the database with the same handle is overwritten.

aCheckSecurity - should security checks be performed? The security checks include tests for ability to access and change the indicated class(es) and for rules includes the test for a locked ruleset.

Throws:

AuthorizationException - if the Requestor performing the open is not authorized to save the instance (including the case where the instance belongs to a locked RuleSet) and aCheckSecurity is true

BadInputException - if the instance is not one that may be saved for some reason. The processing status is set to error. Such reasons may include the following:

• the page is read-only;
• the page has errors;
• the page belongs to a class whose instances may not be written (the processing status is set to Database-BadInput-ClassCannotHaveInstances); or
• the page is a shortcut.

BadClassDefinitionException - if the page's class is undefined

BadInstanceDataException - if an instance could not be saved due to bad data

BadTableMappingException - if the instance can not be saved because it is incompatible with the table it is being saved to

DatabaseException - when something goes wrong with the database. This exception is also thrown if saving an instance "only if new" and there is already an instance there.

Parameters:

aInstancePage - the page containing the instance to write. Its pzInsKey property (and other properties) are potentially updated. This must not be a read-only page.

If false, any previous instance in the database with the same handle is overwritten.

aCheckSecurity - should security checks be performed? The security checks include tests for ability to access and change the indicated class(es) and for rules includes the test for a locked ruleset.

aWithErrors - should this instance be saved even if it has errors? If true, no validation is performed on the instance and it is saved regardless of any messages.

Throws:

AuthorizationException - if the Requestor performing the open is not authorized to save the instance (including the case where the instance belongs to a locked RuleSet) and aCheckSecurity is true

BadInputException - if the instance is not one that may be saved for some reason. The processing status is set to error. Such reasons may include the following:
