Enum Constant Detail

ALL_COLUMNS

public static final OptimisticLockingType ALL_COLUMNS
Using this type of locking policy compares every field in the table in the WHERE clause when doing an update or a delete. If any field has been changed, an optimistic locking exception will be thrown.


CHANGED_COLUMNS

public static final OptimisticLockingType CHANGED_COLUMNS
Using this type of locking policy compares only the changed fields in the WHERE clause when doing an update. If any field has been changed, an optimistic locking exception will be thrown. A delete will only compare the primary key.


SELECTED_COLUMNS

public static final OptimisticLockingType SELECTED_COLUMNS
Using this type of locking compares selected fields in the WHERE clause when doing an update or a delete. If any field has been changed, an optimistic locking exception will be thrown. Note that the fields specified must be mapped and not be primary keys.


VERSION_COLUMN

public static final OptimisticLockingType VERSION_COLUMN
Using this type of locking policy compares a single version number in the where clause when doing an update. The version field must be mapped and not be the primary key.

Method Detail

values

public static OptimisticLockingType[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
for (OptimisticLockingType c : OptimisticLockingType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static OptimisticLockingType valueOf(java.lang.String name)
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:
name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
