  java.lang.Enum<DeleteAction>
      com.sleepycat.persist.model.DeleteAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DeleteAction>

public enum DeleteAction
extends Enum<DeleteAction>

Specifies the action to take when a related entity is deleted having a primary key value that exists as a secondary key value for this entity. This can be specified using a SecondaryKey.onRelatedEntityDelete() annotation.

Enum Constant Summary

ABORT
The default action, ABORT, means that a DatabaseException is thrown in order to abort the current transaction.

CASCADE
If CASCADE is specified, then this entity will be deleted also, which could in turn trigger further deletions, causing a cascading effect.

NULLIFY
If NULLIFY is specified, then the secondary key in this entity is set to null and this entity is updated.

Method Summary

static DeleteAction	valueOf(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static DeleteAction[]	values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared.

Enum Constant Detail

ABORT

public static final DeleteAction ABORT

The default action, ABORT, means that a DatabaseException is thrown in order to abort the current transaction.

CASCADE

public static final DeleteAction CASCADE

If CASCADE is specified, then this entity will be deleted also, which could in turn trigger further deletions, causing a cascading effect.

NULLIFY

public static final DeleteAction NULLIFY

If NULLIFY is specified, then the secondary key in this entity is set to null and this entity is updated. For a secondary key field that has an array or collection type, the array or collection element will be removed by this action. The secondary key field must have a reference (not a primitive) type in order to specify this action.

Method Detail

values

public static final DeleteAction[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for(DeleteAction c : DeleteAction.values())
        System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared

valueOf

public static DeleteAction valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
