Class IndirectSet

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.eclipse.persistence.indirection.IndirectSet
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Iterable, java.util.Collection, java.util.Set, ChangeTracker, CollectionChangeTracker, IndirectCollection, IndirectContainer

public class IndirectSet
extends java.lang.Object
implements CollectionChangeTracker, java.util.Set, IndirectCollection, java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

IndirectSet is an example implementation of the Set protocol that allows a domain class to take advantage of TopLink Indirection without having to declare its instance variable as a ValueHolderInterface.

To use an IndirectSet:

TopLink will place an IndirectSet in the instance variable when the containing domain object is read from the datatabase. With the first message sent to the IndirectSet, the contents are fetched from the database and normal Set behavior is resumed.

Implementation notes:
