Class DatabaseSerializerImpl

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.openbandy.io.db.DatabaseSerializerImpl
All Implemented Interfaces:
DatabaseSerializer, Serializer, StorageSerializer

public class DatabaseSerializerImpl
extends java.lang.Object
implements DatabaseSerializer

The Database Serializer provides a service to load and store serializable objects to respectively from a JDBC compliant database. Thus, in order to store a Serializable object, the DatabaseSerializerImpl creates a new DatabaseValueContainer object and passes it to the object that needs to be serialized, i.e., stored in the database. This object will fill the container as described in 3.2.2. Subsequently, the DatabaseSerializerImpl tests, if the given object already exists in the database, using the DatabaseStorage’s existsInStorage() method described below. Accordingly, it will either create an INSERT or an UPDATE statement from the container object, using the SqlStatement class. Finally, the DatabaseSerializerImpl invokes the DatabaseConnection instance, it got from the DatabaseStorage, to execute this statement. In all cases, the DatabaseSerializerImpl will update the Serializable object’s numeric identifier to the actual values used in the database. To load an object from the database, the DatabaseSerializerImpl must create the corresponding SELECT statement, again using the SqlStatement class. The resulting ResultSet is subsequently encapsulated in a DatabaseValueContainer object, which will be passed to the serializable object for deserialization. Every object gets stored in the database in its own table, whereas must hold: classname = tablename attributename = fieldname
