Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
UpdatableDBObject	getPreUpdateState() Gets The state of the object as it was built by the J/R bridging engine immediately after the object was created from a database tuple (and which should have been set by/using the setPreUpdateState() method.
void	setPreUpdateState() This method is called by the J/R bridging engine after an object has been setup from some tuple retrieved from the database.

Method Detail

setPreUpdateState

void setPreUpdateState()

This method is called by the J/R bridging engine after an object has been setup from some tuple retrieved from the database. The method must cause the object to save a copy (/clone) of all the fields that are pertinent to the database. This copy will be retrieved by the J/R bridging engine using the getPreUpdateState() method call, and will subsequently be used by the J/R bridging engine to determine which fields have changed value, and thus to determine which attributes need to be updated in the database.

getPreUpdateState

UpdatableDBObject getPreUpdateState()

Gets The state of the object as it was built by the J/R bridging engine immediately after the object was created from a database tuple (and which should have been set by/using the setPreUpdateState() method.

Returns:

The state of the object as it was built by the J/R bridging engine immediately after the object was created from a database tuple (and which should have been set by/using the setPreUpdateState() method.
