Interface BeanFindController

public interface BeanFindController

Used to override the finding implementation for a bean.

For beans that are not in a JDBC data source you can implement this handle bean finding. For example, read a log file building each entry as a bean and returning that.

There are a number of internal BeanFinders in Ebean to return meta data from Ebean at runtime such as query execution statistics etc.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
<T> T	find(BeanQueryRequest<T> request) Find a bean using its id or unique predicate.
<T> BeanCollection<T>	findMany(BeanQueryRequest<T> request) Return a List, Set or Map for the given find request.
boolean	isInterceptFind(BeanQueryRequest<?> request) Return true if this controller should intercept and process this find request.
boolean	isInterceptFindMany(BeanQueryRequest<?> request) Return true if this controller should intercept and process this findMany request.
boolean	isRegisterFor(Class<?> cls) Return true if this BeanPersistController should be registered for events on this entity type.

Method Detail

isRegisterFor

boolean isRegisterFor(Class<?> cls)

Return true if this BeanPersistController should be registered for events on this entity type.

isInterceptFind

boolean isInterceptFind(BeanQueryRequest<?> request)

Return true if this controller should intercept and process this find request.

Return false to allow the default behavior to process the request.

find

<T> T find(BeanQueryRequest<T> request)

Find a bean using its id or unique predicate.

isInterceptFindMany

boolean isInterceptFindMany(BeanQueryRequest<?> request)

Return true if this controller should intercept and process this findMany request.

Return false to allow the default behavior to process the request.

findMany

<T> BeanCollection<T> findMany(BeanQueryRequest<T> request)

Return a List, Set or Map for the given find request.

Note the returning object is cast to a List Set or Map so you do need to get the return type right.
