Method Detail

• instantiate

  PersistentCollection instantiate(SessionImplementor session,
                                 CollectionPersister persister)
                                   throws HibernateException

  Instantiate an uninitialized instance of the collection wrapper

• wrap

  PersistentCollection wrap(SessionImplementor session,
                          Object collection)

  Wrap an instance of a collection

• getElementsIterator

  Iterator getElementsIterator(Object collection)

  Return an iterator over the elements of this collection - the passed collection instance may or may not be a wrapper

• contains

  boolean contains(Object collection,
                 Object entity)

  Optional operation. Does the collection contain the entity instance?

• indexOf

  Object indexOf(Object collection,
               Object entity)

  Optional operation. Return the index of the entity in the collection.

• replaceElements

  Object replaceElements(Object original,
                       Object target,
                       CollectionPersister persister,

                       Map copyCache,
                       SessionImplementor session)
                         throws HibernateException

  Replace the elements of a collection with the elements of another collection

  Throws:

  HibernateException

• instantiate

  Object instantiate(int anticipatedSize)

  Instantiate an empty instance of the "underlying" collection (not a wrapper), but with the given anticipated size (i.e. accounting for initial size and perhaps load factor).

  Parameters:

  anticipatedSize - The anticipated size of the instaniated collection after we are done populating it. Note, may be negative to indicate that we not yet know anything about the anticipated size (i.e., when initializing from a result set row by row).
