Interface EntityCursor<V></H2>
<DL>
<DT><B>All Superinterfaces:</B> <DD><A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/ForwardCursor.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.persist">ForwardCursor</A><V>, <A HREF="http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Iterable.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang">Iterable</A><V></DD>

<HR>
<DL>
<DT><PRE>public interface <B>EntityCursor<V></B><DT>extends <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/ForwardCursor.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.persist">ForwardCursor</A><V></DL>
</PRE>
<P>
Traverses entity values or key values and allows deleting or updating the
entity at the current cursor position. The value type (V) is either an
entity class or a key class, depending on how the cursor was opened.
<p><code>EntityCursor</code> objects are <em>not</em> thread-safe. Cursors
should be opened, used and closed by a single thread.</p>
<p>Cursors are opened using the <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityIndex.html#keys()"><CODE>EntityIndex.keys()</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityIndex.html#entities()"><CODE>EntityIndex.entities()</CODE></A> family of methods. These methods are available for
objects of any class that implements <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityIndex.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>EntityIndex</CODE></A>: <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/PrimaryIndex.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>PrimaryIndex</CODE></A>, <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/SecondaryIndex.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>SecondaryIndex</CODE></A>, and the indices returned by <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/SecondaryIndex.html#keysIndex"><CODE>SecondaryIndex.keysIndex</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/SecondaryIndex.html#subIndex(SK)"><CODE>SecondaryIndex.subIndex(SK)</CODE></A>. A <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/ForwardCursor.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>ForwardCursor</CODE></A>, which implements a subset of cursor operations, is also
available via the <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityJoin.html#keys()"><CODE>EntityJoin.keys()</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityJoin.html#entities()"><CODE>EntityJoin.entities()</CODE></A>
methods.</p>
<p>Values are always returned by a cursor in key order, where the key is
defined by the underlying <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityIndex.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>EntityIndex</CODE></A>. For example, a cursor on a
<A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/SecondaryIndex.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>SecondaryIndex</CODE></A> returns values ordered by secondary key, while an
index on a <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/PrimaryIndex.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>PrimaryIndex</CODE></A> or a <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/SecondaryIndex.html#subIndex(SK)"><CODE>SecondaryIndex.subIndex(SK)</CODE></A> returns
values ordered by primary key.</p>
<p><em>WARNING:</em> Cursors must always be closed to prevent resource leaks
which could lead to the index becoming unusable or cause an
<code>OutOfMemoryError</code>. To ensure that a cursor is closed in the
face of exceptions, call <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#close()"><CODE>close()</CODE></A> in a finally block. For example,
the following code traverses all Employee entities and closes the cursor
whether or not an exception occurs:</p>
<pre class="code">
@Entity
class Employee {
@PrimaryKey
long id;
@SecondaryKey(relate=MANY_TO_ONE)
String department;
String name;
private Employee() {}
}
EntityStore store = ...
<code>PrimaryIndex<Long, Employee></code> primaryIndex =
store.getPrimaryIndex(Long.class, Employee.class);
<code>EntityCursor<Employee></code> cursor = primaryIndex.entities();
try {
for (Employee entity = cursor.first();
entity != null;
entity = cursor.next()) {
// Do something with the entity...
}
} finally {
cursor.close();
}</pre>
<h3>Initializing the Cursor Position</h3>
<p>When it is opened, a cursor is not initially positioned on any value; in
other words, it is uninitialized. Most methods in this interface initialize
the cursor position but certain methods, for example, <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#current()"><CODE>current()</CODE></A> and
<A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#delete()"><CODE>delete()</CODE></A>, throw <A HREF="http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/IllegalStateException.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang"><CODE>IllegalStateException</CODE></A> when called for an
uninitialized cursor.</p>
<p>Note that the <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#next()"><CODE>next()</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#prev()"><CODE>prev()</CODE></A> methods return the first or
last value respectively for an uninitialized cursor. This allows the loop
in the example above to be rewritten as follows:</p>
<pre class="code">
<code>EntityCursor<Employee></code> cursor = primaryIndex.entities();
try {
Employee entity;
while ((entity = cursor.next()) != null) {
// Do something with the entity...
}
} finally {
cursor.close();

<h3>Cursors and Iterators</h3>
<p>The <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#iterator()"><CODE>iterator()</CODE></A> method can be used to return a standard Java <code>Iterator</code> that returns the same values that the cursor returns. For
example:</p>
<pre class="code">
<code>EntityCursor<Employee></code> cursor = primaryIndex.entities();
try {
<code>Iterator<Employee></code> i = cursor.iterator();
while (i.hasNext()) {
Employee entity = i.next();
// Do something with the entity...
}
} finally {
cursor.close();
}</pre>
<p>The <A HREF="http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Iterable.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang"><CODE>Iterable</CODE></A> interface is also extended by <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>EntityCursor</CODE></A>
to allow using the cursor as the target of a Java "foreach" statement:</p>
<pre class="code">
<code>EntityCursor<Employee></code> cursor = primaryIndex.entities();
try {
for (Employee entity : cursor) {
// Do something with the entity...
}
} finally {
cursor.close();
}</pre>
<p>The iterator uses the cursor directly, so any changes to the cursor
position impact the iterator and vice versa. The iterator advances the
cursor by calling <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#next()"><CODE>next()</CODE></A> when <A HREF="http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Iterator.html?is-external=true#hasNext()" title="class or interface in java.util"><CODE>Iterator.hasNext()</CODE></A> or <A HREF="http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Iterator.html?is-external=true#next()" title="class or interface in java.util"><CODE>Iterator.next()</CODE></A> is called. Because of this interaction, to keep things
simple it is best not to mix the use of an <code>EntityCursor</code>
<code>Iterator</code> with the use of the <code>EntityCursor</code> traversal methods
such as <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#next()"><CODE>next()</CODE></A>, for a single <code>EntityCursor</code> object.</p>
<h3>Key Ranges</h3>
<p>A key range may be specified when opening the cursor, to restrict the
key range of the cursor to a subset of the complete range of keys in the
index. A <code>fromKey</code> and/or <code>toKey</code> parameter may be specified
when calling <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityIndex.html#keys(K, boolean, K, boolean)"><CODE>EntityIndex.keys(Object,boolean,Object,boolean)</CODE></A> or
<A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityIndex.html#entities(K, boolean, K, boolean)"><CODE>EntityIndex.entities(Object,boolean,Object,boolean)</CODE></A>. The key
arguments may be specified as inclusive or exclusive values.</p>
<p>Whenever a cursor with a key range is moved, the key range bounds will be
checked, and the cursor will never be positioned outside the range. The
<A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#first()"><CODE>first()</CODE></A> cursor value is the first existing value in the range, and
the <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#last()"><CODE>last()</CODE></A> cursor value is the last existing value in the range. For
example, the following code traverses Employee entities with keys from 100
(inclusive) to 200 (exclusive):</p>
<pre class="code">
<code>EntityCursor<Employee></code> cursor = primaryIndex.entities(100, true, 200, false);
try {
for (Employee entity : cursor) {
// Do something with the entity...
}
} finally {
cursor.close();
}</pre>
<h3>Duplicate Keys</h3>
<p>When using a cursor for a <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/SecondaryIndex.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>SecondaryIndex</CODE></A>, the keys in the index
may be non-unique (duplicates) if <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/model/SecondaryKey.html#relate()"><CODE>SecondaryKey.relate()</CODE></A> is <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/model/Relationship.html#MANY_TO_ONE"><CODE>MANY_TO_ONE</CODE></A> or <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/model/Relationship.html#MANY_TO_MANY"><CODE>MANY_TO_MANY</CODE></A>. For example, a <code>MANY_TO_ONE</code> <code>Employee.department</code> secondary key is non-unique because there are multiple
Employee entities with the same department key value. The <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#nextDup()"><CODE>nextDup()</CODE></A>,
<A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#prevDup()"><CODE>prevDup()</CODE></A>, <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#nextNoDup()"><CODE>nextNoDup()</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#prevNoDup()"><CODE>prevNoDup()</CODE></A> methods may be
used to control how non-unique keys are returned by the cursor.</p>
<p><A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#nextDup()"><CODE>nextDup()</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#prevDup()"><CODE>prevDup()</CODE></A> return the next or previous value
only if it has the same key as the current value, and null is returned when
a different key is encountered. For example, these methods can be used to
return all employees in a given department.</p>
<p><A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#nextNoDup()"><CODE>nextNoDup()</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#prevNoDup()"><CODE>prevNoDup()</CODE></A> return the next or previous
value with a unique key, skipping over values that have the same key. For
example, these methods can be used to return the first employee in each
department.</p>
<p>For example, the following code will find the first employee in each
department with <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#nextNoDup()"><CODE>nextNoDup()</CODE></A> until it finds a department name that
matches a particular regular expression. For each matching department it
will find all employees in that department using <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#nextDup()"><CODE>nextDup()</CODE></A>.</p>
<pre class="code">
<code>SecondaryIndex<String, Long, Employee></code> secondaryIndex =
store.getSecondaryIndex(primaryIndex, String.class, "department");
String regex = ...;
<code>EntityCursor<Employee></code> cursor = secondaryIndex.entities();
try {
for (Employee entity = cursor.first();
entity != null;
entity = cursor.nextNoDup()) {
if (entity.department.matches(regex)) {
while (entity != null) {
// Do something with the matching entities...
entity = cursor.nextDup();
}
}
}
} finally {
cursor.close();
}</pre>
<h3>Updating and Deleting Entities with a Cursor</h3>
<p>The <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#update(V)"><CODE>update(V)</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#delete()"><CODE>delete()</CODE></A> methods operate on the entity at
the current cursor position. Cursors on any type of index may be used to
delete entities. For example, the following code deletes all employees in
departments which have names that match a particular regular expression:</p>
<pre class="code">
<code>SecondaryIndex<String, Long, Employee></code> secondaryIndex =
store.getSecondaryIndex(primaryIndex, String.class, "department");
String regex = ...;
<code>EntityCursor<Employee></code> cursor = secondaryIndex.entities();
try {
for (Employee entity = cursor.first();
entity != null;
entity = cursor.nextNoDup()) {
if (entity.department.matches(regex)) {
while (entity != null) {
cursor.delete();
entity = cursor.nextDup();
}
}
}
} finally {
cursor.close();
}</pre>
<p>Note that the cursor can be moved to the next (or previous) value after
deleting the entity at the current position. This is an important property
of cursors, since without it you would not be able to easily delete while
processing multiple values with a cursor. A cursor positioned on a deleted
entity is in a special state. In this state, <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#current()"><CODE>current()</CODE></A> will return
null, <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#delete()"><CODE>delete()</CODE></A> will return false, and <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#update(V)"><CODE>update(V)</CODE></A> will return
false.</p>
<p>The <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityCursor.html#update(V)"><CODE>update(V)</CODE></A> method is supported only if the value type is an
entity class (not a key class) and the underlying index is a <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/PrimaryIndex.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>PrimaryIndex</CODE></A>; in other words, for a cursor returned by one of the <CODE>BasicIndex.entities()</CODE> methods. For example, the following code changes all
employee names to uppercase:</p>
<pre class="code">
<code>EntityCursor<Employee></code> cursor = primaryIndex.entities();
try {
for (Employee entity = cursor.first();
entity != null;
entity = cursor.next()) {
entity.name = entity.name.toUpperCase();
cursor.update(entity);
}
} finally {
cursor.close();
}</pre>
