Lob
For large binary or text content (database LOB) we can model it
in the entity bean as a property of type java.io.File
or byte[]
and with @Lob
.
@Entity
public class SomeFileBean {
...
@Lob
File content;
@Lob
byte[] content2;
Lazy fetched by default
By default all @Lob
properties are fetched lazily, they are NOT fetched unless explicitly included in the select clause.
Note that File properties (and other Lob properties) will lazy load as needed.
QSomeFileBean b = QSomeFileBean.alias()
SomeFileBean bean =
new QSomeFileBean()
.select(b.name, b.content)
.id.eq(42)
.findOne();
File content = bean.getContent();
