Interface LinkDbPersister

All Superinterfaces:

Persister

public interface LinkDbPersister
extends Persister

This interface describes the set of methods that all database persisters for Link objects must implement.

A database persister allows an object to be stored (either inserted or updated) within the database or to be deleted from the database. Persisting methods are named according to the type of persistence that is performed.

Bb 6.0

             throws ValidationException,
                    PersistenceException

Parameters:

link - the Link to be persisted

Throws:

ValidationException - if the object is not in a consistent state to be persisted.

PersistenceException - if some other exception happens while persisting the object.

persist

void persist(Link link,
             java.sql.Connection con)
             throws ValidationException,
                    PersistenceException

Inserts or updates the supplied Link using the supplied connection. The connection must be to the same database as is used by the associated persistence manager. If the object's Id is set and is associated with this persistence manager's same container, then an update is done, otherwise a new object is inserted.

Parameters:

link - the Link to be persisted

con - the Connection to use to perform the persistence. If left null, method will use default connection.

Throws:

ValidationException - if the object is not in a consistent state to be persisted.

PersistenceException - if some other exception happens while persisting the object.

deleteById

void deleteById(Id id)
                throws KeyNotFoundException,
                       PersistenceException

Deletes the Link identified by the given Id value using a connection from the associated persistence manager's database container.

Parameters:

Id - the Id of the link to be persisted

Throws:

KeyNotFoundException - if an object with the given Id value can not be found

PersistenceException - if some other exception happens during the delete operation

deleteById

void deleteById(Id id,
                java.sql.Connection con)
                throws KeyNotFoundException,
                       PersistenceException

Deletes the Link identified by the given Id value using the supplied connection.

Parameters:

id - the Id of the Link to be persisted
