Class JDOImplHelper

    java.lang.Object
      javax.jdo.spi.JDOImplHelper

    public class JDOImplHelper

extends java.lang.Object

This class is a helper class for JDO implementations. It contains methods to register metadata for persistence-capable classes and to perform common operations needed by implementations, not by end users.

`JDOImplHelper` allows construction of instances of persistence-capable classes without using reflection.

Persistence-capable classes register themselves via a static method at class load time. There is no security restriction on this access. JDO implementations get access to the functions provided by this class only if they are authorized by the security manager. To avoid having every call go through the security manager, only the call to get an instance is checked. Once an implementation has an instance, any of the methods can be invoked without security checks.

Version:
  2.1

  Get the persistence-capable superclass for a `PersistenceCapable` class.

  Parameters:
    `pcClass` - the `PersistenceCapable` class.

### newInstance

    public PersistenceCapable newInstance(java.lang.Class pcClass,
                                          StateManager sm)

  Parameters:
    `pcClass` - the `PersistenceCapable` class.
    `sm` - the `StateManager` which will own the new instance.
  Returns:
    the new instance, or `null` if the class is not registered.
  See Also:
    `PersistenceCapable.jdoNewInstance(StateManager sm)`

### newInstance

    public PersistenceCapable newInstance(java.lang.Class pcClass,
                                          StateManager sm,
                                          java.lang.Object oid)

  Create a new instance of the class and assign its `jdoStateManager` and key values from the ObjectId. If the oid parameter is `null`, no key values are copied. The new instance has its `jdoFlags` set to `LOAD_REQUIRED`.

  Parameters:
    `pcClass` - the `PersistenceCapable` class.
    `sm` - the `StateManager` which will own the new instance.

  See Also:
    `PersistenceCapable.jdoNewInstance(StateManager sm, Object oid)`

### newObjectIdInstance

    public java.lang.Object newObjectIdInstance(java.lang.Class pcClass)

  Create a new instance of the ObjectId class of this `PersistenceCapable` class. It is intended only for application identity. This method should not be called for classes that use single field identity; newObjectIdInstance(Class, Object) should be used instead. If the class has been enhanced for datastore identity, or if the class is abstract, null is returned.

  Parameters:
    `pcClass` - the `PersistenceCapable` class.
  Returns:
    the new ObjectId instance, or `null` if the class is not registered.

### newObjectIdInstance

    public java.lang.Object newObjectIdInstance(java.lang.Class pcClass,
                                                java.lang.Object obj)

  Create a new instance of the class used by the parameter Class for JDO identity, using the key constructor of the object id class. It is intended for single field identity. The identity instance returned has no relationship with the values of the primary key fields of the persistence-capable instance on which the method is called. If the key is the wrong class for the object id class, null is returned.

  For classes that use single field identity, if the parameter is of one of the following types, the behavior must be as specified:

  - `Number` or `Character`: the parameter must be the single field type or the wrapper class of the primitive field type; the parameter is passed to the single field identity constructor
  - `ObjectIdFieldSupplier`: the field value is fetched from the `ObjectIdFieldSupplier` and passed to the single field identity constructor
  - `String`: the String is passed to the single field identity constructor

  Parameters:
    `obj` - the `Object` form of the object id
    `pcClass` - the `PersistenceCapable` class.
  Returns:
    the new ObjectId instance, or `null` if the class is not registered.
  Since:
    2.0

### copyKeyFieldsToObjectId

    public void copyKeyFieldsToObjectId(java.lang.Class pcClass,
                                        PersistenceCapable.ObjectIdFieldSupplier fm,
                                        java.lang.Object oid)

  Copy fields from an outside source to the key fields in the ObjectId. This method is generated in the `PersistenceCapable` class to generate a call to the field manager for each key field in the ObjectId.

  For example, an ObjectId class that has three key fields (`int id`, `String name`, and `Float salary`) would have the method generated:

  `void jdoCopyKeyFieldsToObjectId (Object oid, ObjectIdFieldSupplier fm) {
  oid.id = fm.fetchIntField (0);
  oid.name = fm.fetchStringField (1);
  oid.salary = fm.fetchObjectField (2);
  }`

  The implementation is responsible for implementing the `ObjectIdFieldSupplier` to provide the values for the key fields.

  Parameters:
    `pcClass` - the `PersistenceCapable Class`.
    `oid` - the ObjectId target of the copy.
    `fm` - the field manager that supplies the field values.

### copyKeyFieldsFromObjectId

    public void copyKeyFieldsFromObjectId(java.lang.Class pcClass,
                                          PersistenceCapable.ObjectIdFieldConsumer fm,
                                          java.lang.Object oid)

  Copy fields to an outside source from the key fields in the ObjectId. This method is generated in the `PersistenceCapable` class to generate a call to the field manager for each key field in the ObjectId. For example, an ObjectId class that has three key fields (`int id`, `String name`, and `Float salary`) would have the method generated:

  `void jdoCopyKeyFieldsFromObjectId
  (PersistenceCapable oid, ObjectIdFieldConsumer fm) {
  fm.storeIntField (0, oid.id);
  fm.storeStringField (1, oid.name);
  fm.storeObjectField (2, oid.salary);
  }`

  The implementation is responsible for implementing the `ObjectIdFieldConsumer` to store the values for the key fields.

  Parameters:
    `pcClass` - the `PersistenceCapable` class
    `oid` - the ObjectId source of the copy.
    `fm` - the field manager that receives the field values.

### checkAuthorizedStateManager

    public static void checkAuthorizedStateManager(StateManager sm)

  Check that the parameter instance is of a class that is authorized for JDOPermission("setStateManager"). This method is called by the replaceStateManager method in persistence-capable classes. A class that is passed as the parameter to replaceStateManager must be authorized for JDOPermission("setStateManager"). To improve performance, first the set of authorized classes is checked, and if not present, a regular permission check is made. The regular permission check requires that all callers on the stack, including the persistence-capable class itself, must be authorized for JDOPermission("setStateManager").

  Parameters:

  Since:
    1.0.1

### checkAuthorizedStateManagerClass

    public static void checkAuthorizedStateManagerClass(java.lang.Class smClass)
