Class AbstractKeyBasedMap.DeferredCacheEvent<K,​V>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    PortableObject, Serializable
    Enclosing class:
    AbstractKeyBasedMap<K,​V>

    protected abstract static class AbstractKeyBasedMap.DeferredCacheEvent<K,​V>
    extends CacheEvent<K,​V>
    A DeferredCacheEvent is a CacheEvent object that defers the loading of the old value.

    This event has two predominant states; active and inactive. The event is active from incarnation and can transition to inactive (via deactivate()) but not vice-versa. Being active allows the getOldValue implementation to load the value from underlying map, thus all consumers of this event must ensure they call getOldValue prior to returning control when this event is dispatched.

    Once inactive the correct value may no longer be available in the map thus in this state a getOldValue will return either null or the cached old value.

        Constructs a new DeferredCacheEvent.
        Parameters:
        map - the ObservableMap
        nId - this event's id, one of MapEvent.ENTRY_INSERTED, MapEvent.ENTRY_UPDATED or MapEvent.ENTRY_DELETED
        oKey - the key into the map
        oValueOld - the old value (for update and delete events)
        oValueNew - the new value (for insert and update events)
        fSynthetic - true iff the event is caused by the cache internal processing such as eviction or loading
    • Method Detail

      • getOldValue

        public V getOldValue()
        Return an old value associated with this event.

        The old value represents a value deleted from or updated in a map. It is always null for "insert" notifications.

        Overrides:
        getOldValue in class MapEvent<K,​V>
        Returns:
        an old value
      • readOldValue

        protected abstract V readOldValue()
        Perform a deferred read for the old value in a usage-specific way.
        Returns:
        the old value
      • deactivate

        public void deactivate()
        Deactivate this DeferredCacheEvent instance. This is used to prevent future getOldValue() calls using the underlying map *after* the event dispatching code returned and the content of the map had been changed to a new value.

        The contract between the DeferredCacheEvent and consumers of the event states that consumers must call getOldValue prior to returning from event dispatching logic.
