public interface InstanceCallbacks extends ClearCallback, DeleteCallback, LoadCallback, StoreCallback
PersistenceCapable
class that provides callback methods for life
cycle events implements this interface.
For JDO 2.0, InstanceCallbacks
has been refactored to extend
four other interfaces, without changing any of the methods or semantics.
This allows fine-grained control over callbacks, for
example to allow a class to implement the load callback without
implementing any of the other callbacks. For backward compatibility
with JDO 1.0, the InstanceCallbacks
interface is preserved.
Classes which include non-persistent fields whose values depend on the values of persistent fields require callbacks on specific JDO instance life cycle events in order to correctly populate the values in these fields.
The callbacks might also be used if the persistent instances need to be put into the runtime infrastructure of the application. For example, a persistent instance might notify other instances on changes to state. The persistent instance might be in a list of managed instances. When the persistent instance is made hollow, it can no longer generate change events, and the persistent instance should be removed from the list of managed instances.
To implement this, the application programmer would implement
jdoPostLoad
to put itself into the list of managed
instances, and implement jdoPreClear
to remove itself from
the list. With JDO 1.0, the domain class would be declared to implement
InstanceCallbacks
. With JDO 2.0, the domain class
would be declared to implement
javax.jdo.listener.LoadCallback
and
javax.jdo.listener.ClearCallback
.
Note that JDO does not manage the state of non-persistent fields, and when a JDO instance transitions to hollow, JDO clears the persistent fields. It is the programmer's responsibility to clear non-persistent fields so that garbage collection of referred instances can occur.
