public abstract class Query<T>
extends Object
implements HibernateCallback

base Query type to facilitate the creation of ORM queries. This class attempts to enforce a strict usage pattern. First, subclasses must define a Definitions instance, which can optionally (and perhaps preferably) be static, which must be passed into the super constructor along with the Parameters provided during lookup.

Queries can optionally define a enableFilters(Session) method (perhaps using pre-defined filters like ownerOrGroupFilters(Session, String[], String[]) to limit the entities returned.

Since:

OMERO 3.0

defs

protected final Definitions defs

container of QueryParameterDef instances. Typically created statically in Query subclasses and passed to the Query(Definitions, Parameters) constructor

params

protected final Parameters params

container of QueryParameter instances. These must at least cover all the QueryParameterDefs defined for this Query but can define more. Other special fields of Parameters, such as a Filter instance can also be used by Query instances.

newlyEnabledFilters

protected Set<String> newlyEnabledFilters

the set of filters that is being or has been enabled for this Query.

Constructor Detail

Query

public Query(Definitions definitions,
             Parameters parameters)

main constructor used by subclasses. Both arguments must be provided.

Parameters:

definitions - Not null.

parameters - Not null.

Method Detail

checkParameters

protected void checkParameters()

check the Parameters instance against the Definitions instance for this Query. Can be extended by subclasses, but super.checkParameters() should most likely be called.

check

public boolean check(String name)

check that there is a definition for this Query with the provided argument as its name.

get

public QueryParameter get(String name)

get the QueryParameter for this name argument.

value

public Object value(String name)

get the Object value for this name argument. Returns null even if no QueryParameter is associated with the name (no exception).

doInHibernate

public Object doInHibernate(org.hibernate.Session session)
                     throws org.hibernate.HibernateException,
                            SQLException

template method defined by HibernateTemplate. This does not need to be overridden by subclasses, but rather buildQuery(Session). This ensures that the filters are set properly, that buildQuery(Session) does its job, and that everything is cleaned up properly afterwards. It also enforces contracts established by Parameters and Filter

Specified by:

doInHibernate in interface HibernateCallback

Throws:

org.hibernate.HibernateException

SQLException

buildQuery

protected abstract void buildQuery(org.hibernate.Session session)
                            throws org.hibernate.HibernateException,
                                   SQLException

main point of entry for subclasses. This method must build either a Criteria or a Query instance and make it available via setCriteria(org.hibernate.Criteria) or setQuery(org.hibernate.Query)

Throws:

org.hibernate.HibernateException

SQLException

setQuery

protected void setQuery(org.hibernate.Query query)

provide this Query instance with a Query to be used for retrieving data. setCriteria(org.hibernate.Criteria) should not also be called with a non-null value.

setCriteria

protected void setCriteria(org.hibernate.Criteria criteria)

provide this Query instance with a Criteria to be used for retrieving data. setQuery(org.hibernate.Query) should not also be called with a non-null value.

enableFilters

protected void enableFilters(org.hibernate.Session session)

does nothing by default, but can be overridden by subclasses to enable particular filters.

ownerOrGroupFilters

protected void ownerOrGroupFilters(org.hibernate.Session session,
                                   String[] ownerFilters,
                                   String[] groupFilters)

standard filter used by many subclasses which uses the Parameters.isExperimenter() and Parameters.isGroup() booleans to see if a filter should be turned on. If both booleans are active, group wins. The constant Parameters.OWNER_ID or Parameters.GROUP_ID is then used to define a filter.

disableFilters

protected void disableFilters(org.hibernate.Session session)

turns the filters off that are listed in newlyEnabledFilters
