Interface com.roguewave.vsj.RestoreContext

public interface RestoreContext
RestoreContext is an interface that allows you to keep track of objects so that you can resolve back-references to objects that were already read. Thus a RestoreContext table can be used to maintain the shape of a graph of objects, including those that contain circular references.

Method Index

o addElement(Object)
Add an object to the read table.
o elementAt(int)
Return an object from the read table.
o endContext()
End the current persistence context.
o inContext()
Return true if currently within a persistence context.
o newContext()
Begin a new persistence context.
o newContext(int)
Begin a new persistence context with initial capacity for the given number of objects.

Methods

o newContext 
 public abstract void newContext()
Begin a new persistence context. A persistence context defines the scope of back-references used for isomorphic persistence.

o newContext 
 public abstract void newContext(int initCapacity)
Begin a new persistence context with initial capacity for the given number of objects. A persistence context defines the scope of back references used for isomorphic persistence.

o inContext 
 public abstract boolean inContext()
Return true if currently within a persistence context. That is, return true if newContext() has been called, but endContext() has not.

o endContext 
 public abstract void endContext()
End the current persistence context. A persistence context defines the scope of back references used for isomorphic persistence. Note that if you start a persistence context and fail to end it, the RestoreContext will have to maintain references to all of the objects read so far, keeping them from ever being reclaimed by the garbage collector.

o addElement 
 public abstract void addElement(Object obj)
Add an object to the read table.

o elementAt 
 public abstract Object elementAt(int idx)
Return an object from the read table. The index idx is a back reference to a previously read object.
