org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors
Class FetchGroupManager

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.FetchGroupManager
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Cloneable

public class FetchGroupManager
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable

Purpose: The fetch group manager controls the named fetch groups defined at the descriptor level. EclipseLink supports multiple, overlapped fetch groups, optionally with one of them as the default fetch group.

The domain object must implement org.eclipse.persistence.queries.FetchGroupTracker interface, in order to make use of the fetch group performance enhancement feature.

Please refer to FetchGroup class for the pros and cons of fetch group usage.

Method Detail

addFetchGroup

public void addFetchGroup(FetchGroup group)
Add a named fetch group to the descriptor


getFetchGroups

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,FetchGroup> getFetchGroups()
Return the fetch group map: keyed by the group name, valued by the fetch group object.


getDefaultFetchGroup

public FetchGroup getDefaultFetchGroup()
Return the descriptor-level default fetch group. All read object and read all queries would use the default fetch group if no fetch group is explicitly defined for the query, unless setShouldUseDefaultFetchGroup(false); is also called on the query. Default fetch group should be used carefully. It would be beneficial if most of the system queries are for the subset of the object, so un-needed attributes data would not have to be read, and the users do not have to setup every query for the given fetch group, as default one is always used. However, if queries on object are mostly use case specific and not systematic, using default fetch group could cause undesirable extra round-trip and performance degradation.
