Class FilterTrigger

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ExternalizableLite, PortableObject, MapTrigger, Serializable

    public class FilterTrigger
    extends ExternalizableHelper
    implements MapTrigger, ExternalizableLite, PortableObject
    A generic Filter-based MapTrigger implementation. If an evaluation of the Entry object representing a pending change fails (returns false), then one of the following actions is taken:
    • ACTION_ROLLBACK - an IllegalArgumentException is thrown by the trigger to reject the operation that would result in this change (default);
    • ACTION_IGNORE - the change is ignored and the Entry's value is synthetically reset to the original value returned by the Entry.getOriginalValue() method;
    • ACTION_IGNORE_LOGICAL - same as ACTION_IGNORE except a non-synthetic change is made;
    • ACTION_REMOVE - the entry is synthetically removed from the underlying backing map using the Entry.remove(true) call;
    • ACTION_REMOVE_LOGICAL - same as ACTION_REMOVE except a non-synthetic remove is invoked using the Entry.remove(false) call.
    Note: This trigger never prevents entries from being removed.

    • Method Detail

      • process

        public void process​(MapTrigger.Entry entry)
        This method is called before the result of a mutating operation represented by the specified Entry object is committed into the underlying map.

        An implementation of this method can evaluate the change by analyzing the original and the new value, and can perform any of the following:

        • override the requested change by calling InvocableMap.Entry.setValue(V) with a different value;
        • undo the pending change by resetting the entry value to the original value obtained from MapTrigger.Entry.getOriginalValue();
        • remove the entry from the underlying map by calling InvocableMap.Entry.remove(boolean);
        • reject the pending change by throwing a RuntimeException, which will prevent any changes from being committed, and will result in the exception being thrown from the operation that attempted to modify the map; or
        • do nothing, thus allowing the pending change to be committed to the underlying map.
        Specified by:
        process in interface MapTrigger
        Parameters:
        entry - a MapTrigger.Entry object that represents the pending change to be committed to the map, as well as the original state of the Entry
      • getFilter

        public Filter getFilter()

        the underlying Filter object
      • getAction

        public int getAction()
        Obtain the action code for this FilterTrigger.
        Returns:
        one of the ACTION_* constants
