Method Detail

getBinaryKey

Binary getBinaryKey()

Return a raw binary key for this entry.

Returns:

a raw binary key for this entry

getBinaryValue

Binary getBinaryValue()

Return a raw binary value for this entry.

Returns:

a raw binary value for this entry; null if the value does not exist

getSerializer

Serializer getSerializer()

Return a Serializer that is used to serialize/deserialize this entry.

Returns:

a Serializer that is used to serialize/deserialize this entry

getContext

BackingMapManagerContext getContext()

Return the context this entry operates within.

Note: This method is a shortcut for the getBackingMapContext.getManagerContext() call.

Returns:

the BackingMapManagerContext for this entry

updateBinaryValue

void updateBinaryValue(Binary binValue)

Update the binary value for this entry.

Passing a non-null binary is functionally equivalent to:

   setValue(getContext().getValueFromInternalConverter().convert(binValue));
 

Passing null value is functionally equivalent to removing the entry.

   remove(false);
 

Parameters:

binValue - new binary value to be stored in this entry or null

updateBinaryValue

void updateBinaryValue(Binary binValue,
                       boolean fSynthetic)

Update the binary value for this entry.

Passing a non-null binary is functionally equivalent to:

   setValue(getContext().getValueFromInternalConverter().convert(binValue));
 

Passing null value is functionally equivalent to removing the entry.

   remove(false);
 

This method will bypass any CacheStore or BinaryEntryStore implementations, iff fSynthetic is true and the backing map associated with this entry is a ReadWriteBackingMap.

Parameters:

binValue - new binary value to be stored in this entry or null

fSynthetic - pass true only if the insertion into or modification of the Map should be treated as a synthetic event

Since:

Coherence 12.1.2

getOriginalValue

V getOriginalValue()

Return an original value for this entry.

Returns:

an original value for this entry

Since:

Coherence 3.6

getOriginalBinaryValue

Binary getOriginalBinaryValue()

Return a raw original binary value for this entry.

Returns:

a raw original binary value for this entry; null if the original value did not exist

Since:

Coherence 3.6

getBackingMap

ObservableMap<K,V> getBackingMap()

Deprecated. As of Coherence 12.1.3, replaced with BackingMapContext.getBackingMapEntry(java.lang.Object) BackingMapContext.getBackingMapEntry(java.lang.Object)

Obtain a reference to the backing map that this Entry corresponds to. The returned Map should be used in a read-only manner.

Note: This method is a shortcut for the getBackingMapContext().getBackingMap() call. As of Coherence 3.7, the returned type has been narrowed to ObservableMap.

Returns:

the backing map reference; null if the entry does not have any backing map association

Since:

Coherence 3.6

getBackingMapContext

BackingMapContext getBackingMapContext()

Obtain a reference to the backing map context for the cache that this Entry corresponds to.

Returns:

the corresponding BackingMapContext; null if the entry does not have any backing map association

Since:

Coherence 3.7

expire

void expire(long cMillis)

Update the entry with the specified expiry delay.

Note: this method only has an effect only if the associated backing map implements the CacheMap interface

Parameters:

cMillis - the number of milliseconds until the entry will expire; pass CacheMap.EXPIRY_DEFAULT to use the default expiry setting; pass CacheMap.EXPIRY_NEVER to indicate that the entry should never expire

Since:

Coherence 3.7

getExpiry

long getExpiry()

Return the number of milliseconds remaining before the specified entry is scheduled to expire. If the expire(long) method has been called, the returned value will reflect the requested expiry delay. Otherwise if the entry exists, the returned value will represent the time remaining until the entry expires (or CacheMap.EXPIRY_NEVER if the entry will never expire). If the entry does not exist, CacheMap.EXPIRY_DEFAULT will be returned.

This method will make a "best effort" attempt to determine the expiry time remaining. In some cases, it may not be possible to determine the expiry (e.g. the backing-map does not implement the CacheMap interface), in which case CacheMap.EXPIRY_DEFAULT will be returned.

Returns:

the number of milliseconds remaining before the specified entry expires

Since:

Coherence 12.1.3

isReadOnly

boolean isReadOnly()

Check whether this BinaryEntry allows data modification operations.

Returns:

true iff the entry is "read-only"

Since:

Coherence 3.7

isValueLoaded

default boolean isValueLoaded()

Check whether this BinaryEntry is loaded by a "read-through" operation.

Returns:

true iff the entry is loaded by a "read-through" operation

Since:

Coherence 12.2.1

isValueChanged

default boolean isValueChanged()

Check whether the value of this BinaryEntry is changed.

Returns:

true iff the entry is changed

Since:

Coherence 12.2.1.1

isValueUpdated

default boolean isValueUpdated()

Check whether the value of this BinaryEntry is updated.

Returns:

true iff the entry is updated

Since:

Coherence 12.2.1.1

isValueRemoved

default boolean isValueRemoved()

Check whether the value of this BinaryEntry is removed.

Returns:

true iff the entry is removed

Since:

Coherence 12.2.1.1

setValue

void setValue(V value,
              boolean fSynthetic)

Store the value corresponding to this entry. If the entry does not exist, then the entry will be created by invoking this method, even with a null value (assuming the Map supports null values).

Unlike the other form of setValue, this form does not return the previous value, and as a result may be significantly less expensive (in terms of cost of execution) for certain Map implementations.

As of Coherence 12.1.2, if fSynthetic is true and the BackingMap associated with this entry is a ReadWriteBackingMap, this method will bypass the CacheStore or BinaryEntryStore.

Specified by:

setValue in interface InvocableMap.Entry<K,V>

Parameters:

value - the new value for this Entry

fSynthetic - pass true only if the insertion into or modification of the Map should be treated as a synthetic event

remove

void remove(boolean fSynthetic)

Remove this Entry from the Map if it is present in the Map.

This method supports both the operation corresponding to Map.remove(java.lang.Object) as well as synthetic operations such as eviction. If the containing Map does not differentiate between the two, then this method will always be identical to InvocableMap.this.remove(getKey()).

As of Coherence 12.1.2, if fSynthetic is true and the BackingMap associated with this entry is a ReadWriteBackingMap, this method will bypass the CacheStore or BinaryEntryStore.

Specified by:

remove in interface InvocableMap.Entry<K,V>

Parameters:

fSynthetic - pass true only if the removal from the Map should be treated as a synthetic event
