Interface ComparableExecutable

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<ComparableExecutable>, Executable, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractEntityInsertAction, CollectionAction, CollectionRecreateAction, CollectionRemoveAction, CollectionUpdateAction, EntityAction, EntityDeleteAction, EntityIdentityInsertAction, EntityInsertAction, EntityUpdateAction, OrphanRemovalAction, QueuedOperationCollectionAction

public interface ComparableExecutable
extends Executable, Comparable<ComparableExecutable>, Serializable

We frequently need the union type of Executable, Comparable of ComparableExecutable, Serializable; this interface represents such union; this helps to simplify several generic signatures. Secondarily, it helps to avoid triggering type pollution by not needing to typecheck for a very specific Comparable type; we represent the common needs to resolve sorting by exposing primary and secondary sorting attributes.

Method Details

getPrimarySortClassifier

String getPrimarySortClassifier()

This affect sorting order of the executables, when sorting is enabled.

Returns:

the primary sorting attribute; typically the entity name or collection role.

getSecondarySortIndex

Object getSecondarySortIndex()

This affect sorting order of the executables, when sorting is enabled.

Returns:

the secondary sorting attribute, applied when getPrimarySortClassifier matches during a comparison; typically the entity key or collection key.
