<P>

|
Indicates the sorting position of a key field in a composite key class when
|
|
the <code>Comparable</code> interface is not implemented. The <code>KeyField</code>
|
|
integer value specifies the sort order of this field within the set of
|
|
fields in the composite key.
|
|
|
|
<p>If the field type of a <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/persist/model/PrimaryKey.html" title="annotation in com.sleepycat.persist.model"><CODE>PrimaryKey</CODE></A> or <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/persist/model/SecondaryKey.html" title="annotation in com.sleepycat.persist.model"><CODE>SecondaryKey</CODE></A> is a
|
|
composite key class containing more than one key field, then a <code>KeyField</code> annotation must be present on each non-transient instance field of
|
|
the composite key class. The <code>KeyField</code> value must be a number
|
|
between one and the number of non-transient instance fields declared in the
|
|
composite key class.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that a composite key class is a flat container for one or more
|
|
simple type fields. All non-transient instance fields in the composite key
|
|
class are key fields, and the composite key class may not have superclasses
|
|
containing non-transient instance fields.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example:</p>
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
@Entity
|
|
class Animal {
|
|
@PrimaryKey
|
|
Classification classification;
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@Persistent
|
|
class Classification {
|
|
@KeyField(1) String kingdom;
|
|
@KeyField(2) String phylum;
|
|
@KeyField(3) String clazz;
|
|
@KeyField(4) String order;
|
|
@KeyField(5) String family;
|
|
@KeyField(6) String genus;
|
|
@KeyField(7) String species;
|
|
@KeyField(8) String subspecies;
|
|
...
|
|
}</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>This causes entities to be sorted first by <code>kingdom</code>, then by
|
|
<code>phylum</code> within <code>kingdom</code>, and so on.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The fields in a composite key class may not be null.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="comparable"><strong>Custom Sort Order</strong></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To override the default sort order, a composite key class may implement
|
|
the <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Comparable.html" title="class or interface in java.lang"><CODE>Comparable</CODE></A> interface. This allows overriding the sort order and
|
|
is therefore useful even when there is only one key field in the composite
|
|
key class. For example, the following class sorts Strings using a Canadian
|
|
collator:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
import java.text.Collator;
|
|
import java.util.Locale;
|
|
|
|
@Entity
|
|
class Animal {
|
|
...
|
|
@SecondaryKey(relate=ONE_TO_ONE)
|
|
CollatedString canadianName;
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@Persistent
|
|
class CollatedString implements Comparable<CollatedString> {
|
|
|
|
static Collator collator = Collator.getInstance(Locale.CANADA);
|
|
|
|
@KeyField(1)
|
|
String value;
|
|
|
|
CollatedString(String value) { this.value = value; }
|
|
|
|
private CollatedString() {}
|
|
|
|
public int compareTo(CollatedString o) {
|
|
return collator.compare(value, o.value);
|
|
}
|
|
}</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Several important rules should be considered when implementing a custom
|
|
comparison method. Failure to follow these rules may result in the primary
|
|
or secondary index becoming unusable; in other words, the store will not be
|
|
able to function.</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The comparison method must always return the same result, given the same
|
|
inputs. The behavior of the comparison method must not change over
|
|
time.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>A corollary to the first rule is that the behavior of the comparison
|
|
method must not be dependent on state which may change over time. For
|
|
example, if the above collation method used the default Java locale, and the
|
|
default locale is changed, then the sort order will change.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>The comparison method must not assume that it is called after the store
|
|
has been opened. With Berkeley DB Java Edition, the comparison method is
|
|
called during database recovery, which occurs in the <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/db/Environment.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.db"><CODE>Environment</CODE></A>
|
|
constructor.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>The comparison method must not assume that it will only be called with
|
|
keys that are currently present in the database. The comparison method will
|
|
occasionally be called with deleted keys or with keys for records that were
|
|
not part of a committed transaction.</li>
|
|
</ol>
