Interface com.roguewave.vsj.SaveContext

public interface SaveContext
SaveContext is an interface that allows you to keep track of objects as they are written so that you can write back-references for objects that are encountered multiple times. Thus a SaveContext can be used to maintain the shape of a graph of objects, including graphs that contain circular references.

Method Index

o addElement(Object)
Add an object to the store table.
o endContext()
End the current persistence context.
o inContext()
Return true if currently within a persistence context.
o index(Object)
Return the index of an object in the store table.
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, returns 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.

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

o index 
 public abstract int index(Object obj)
Return the index of an object in the store table. The index can be used for back referencing an object already stored.
