      • get

        public T get​(ID id)
        Return an entity with a given identifier.
        Parameters:
        id - the entity's identifier
        Returns:
        an entity with a given identifier
      • exists

        public boolean exists​(ID id)
        Returns true if this repository contains the entity with the specified identifier.
        Parameters:
        id - the identifier of an entity to check if it exists
        Returns:
        true if this repository contains the entity with the specified identifier
      • get

        public <R> R get​(ID id,
                         ValueExtractor<? super T,​? extends R> extractor)
        Return the value extracted from an entity with a given identifier.

        For example, you could extract Person's name attribute by calling a getter on a remote Person entity instance:

             people.get(ssn, Person::getName);
         
        You could also extract a Fragment containing the Person's name and age attributes by calling corresponding getters on the remote Person entity instance:
             Fragment<Person> person = people.get(ssn, Extractors.fragment(Person::getName, Person::getAge));
             System.out.println("name: " + person.get(Person::getName));
             System.out.println(" age: " + person.get(Person::getAge));
         
        Finally, you can also extract nested fragments:
             Fragment<Person> person = people.get(ssn,
                   Extractors.fragment(Person::getName, Person::getAge,
                                       Extractors.fragment(Person::getAddress, Address::getCity, Address::getState));
             System.out.println(" name: " + person.get(Person::getName));
             System.out.println("  age: " + person.get(Person::getAge));
        
             Fragment<Address> address = person.getFragment(Person::getAddress);
             System.out.println(" city: " + address.get(Address::getCity));
             System.out.println("state: " + address.get(Address::getState));
         
        Note that the actual extraction (via the invocation of the specified getter method) will happen on the primary owner for the specified entity, and only the extracted value will be sent over the network to the client, which can significantly reduce the amount of data transferred.
        Type Parameters:
        R - the type of the extracted value
        Parameters:
        id - the entity's identifier
        extractor - the ValueExtractor to extract value with

      • update

        public <U> void update​(ID id,
                               ValueUpdater<? super T,​? super U> updater,
                               U value)
        Update an entity using specified updater and the new value.

        For example, you could update Person's age attribute by calling a setter on a remote Person entity instance:

             people.update(ssn, Person::setAge, 21);
         
        Note that the actual update (via the invocation of the specified setter method) will happen on the primary owner for the specified entity, and the updater will have exclusive access to an entity during the execution.
        Type Parameters:
        U - the type of value to update
        Parameters:
        id - the entity's identifier
        updater - the updater function to use
        value - the value to update entity with, which will be passed as an argument to the updater function
      • update

        public <U> void update​(ID id,
                               ValueUpdater<? super T,​? super U> updater,
                               U value,
                               EntityFactory<? super ID,​? extends T> factory)
        Update an entity using specified updater and the new value, and optional EntityFactory that will be used to create entity instance if it doesn't already exist in the repository.

        For example, you could update Person's age attribute by calling a setter on a remote Person entity instance:

             people.update(ssn, Person::setAge, 21, Person::new);
         
        If the person with the specified identifier does not exist, the EntityFactory will be used to create a new instance. In the example above, it will invoke a constructor on the Person class that takes identifier as an argument.

        Note that the actual update (via the invocation of the specified setter method) will happen on the primary owner for the specified entity, and the updater will have exclusive access to an entity during the execution.

        Type Parameters:
        U - the type of value to update
        Parameters:
        id - the entity's identifier
        updater - the updater function to use
        value - the value to update entity with, which will be passed as an argument to the updater function
        factory - the entity factory to use to create new entity instance
      • update

        public <R> R update​(ID id,
                            Remote.Function<? super T,​? extends R> updater)
        Update an entity using specified updater function.

        For example, you could increment Person's age attribute and return the updated Person entity:

            people.update(ssn, person ->
                {
                person.setAge(person.getAge() + 1);
                return person;
                });
         
        This variant of the update method offers ultimate flexibility, as it allows you to return any value you want as the result of the invocation, at the cost of typically slightly more complex logic at the call site.

        Note that the actual update (via the evaluation of the specified function) will happen on the primary owner for the specified entity, and the updater will have exclusive access to an entity during the execution.

        Type Parameters:
        R - the type of return value of the updater function
        Parameters:
        id - the entity's identifier
        updater - the updater function to use
        Returns:
        the result of updater function evaluation
      • update

        public <R> R update​(ID id,
                            Remote.Function<? super T,​? extends R> updater,
                            EntityFactory<? super ID,​? extends T> factory)
        Update an entity using specified updater function, and optional EntityFactory that will be used to create entity instance if it doesn't already exist in the repository.

        For example, you could increment Person's age attribute and return the updated Person entity:

            people.update(ssn, person ->
                {
                person.setAge(person.getAge() + 1);
                return person;
                }, Person::new);
         
        If the person with the specified identifier does not exist, the EntityFactory will be used to create a new instance. In the example above, it will invoke a constructor on the Person class that takes identifier as an argument.

        This variant of the update method offers ultimate flexibility, as it allows you to return any value you want as the result of the invocation, at the cost of typically slightly more complex logic at the call site.

        Note that the actual update (via the evaluation of the specified function) will happen on the primary owner for the specified entity, and the updater will have exclusive access to an entity during the execution.

        Type Parameters:
        R - the type of return value of the updater function
        Parameters:
        id - the entity's identifier
        updater - the updater function to use
        factory - the entity factory to use to create new entity instance
        Returns:
        the result of updater function evaluation
      • update

        public <U,​R> R update​(ID id,
                                    Remote.BiFunction<? super T,​? super U,​? extends R> updater,
                                    U value)
        Update an entity using specified updater and the new value.

        Unlike update(Object, ValueUpdater, Object), which doesn't return anything, this method is typically used to invoke "fluent" methods on the target entity that return entity itself (although they are free to return any value they want).

        For example, you could use it to add an item to the ShoppingCart entity and return the updated ShoppingCart instance in a single call:

             Item item = ...
             ShoppingCart cart = carts.update(cartId, ShoppingCart::addItem, item);
         
        Note that the actual update (via the invocation of the specified setter method) will happen on the primary owner for the specified entity, and the updater will have exclusive access to an entity during the execution.
        Type Parameters:
        U - the type of value to update
        R - the type of return value of the updater function
        Parameters:
        id - the entity's identifier
        updater - the updater function to use
        value - the value to update entity with, which will be passed as an argument to the updater function
        Returns:
        the result of updater function evaluation
      • update

        public <U,​R> R update​(ID id,
                                    Remote.BiFunction<? super T,​? super U,​? extends R> updater,
                                    U value,
                                    EntityFactory<? super ID,​? extends T> factory)
        Update an entity using specified updater function, and optional EntityFactory that will be used to create entity instance if it doesn't already exist in the repository.

        Unlike update(Object, ValueUpdater, Object), which doesn't return anything, this method is typically used to invoke "fluent" methods on the target entity that return entity itself (although they are free to return any value they want).

             Item item = ...
             ShoppingCart cart = carts.update(cartId, ShoppingCart::addItem, item, ShoppingCart::new);
         
        If the cart with the specified identifier does not exist, the specified EntityFactory will be used to create a new instance. In the example above, it will invoke a constructor on the ShoppingCart class that takes identifier as an argument.

        Note that the actual update (via the evaluation of the specified function) will happen on the primary owner for the specified entity, and the updater will have exclusive access to an entity during the execution.

        Type Parameters:
        U - the type of value to update
        R - the type of return value of the updater function
        Parameters:
        id - the entity's identifier

        value - the value to update entity with, which will be passed as an argument to the updater function
        factory - the entity factory to use to create new entity instance
        Returns:
