create table HOUSE (
  id integer auto_increment,
  name varchar(255)
)
Example: House entity

}

The fields or properties will be annotated by @Id, @Basic, etc. Amber will detect either field or property annotation by the type for the @Id. In other words, if Amber sees an @Id on a field, it will use field access. If Amber sees @Id on a method, it will use property access.

@IdClass

The @IdClass annotation specifies the class to be used to contain a compount primary key.

javax.persistence.IdClass
@Target({TYPE})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface IdClass {
  Class value();
}

@Inheritance

@Inheritance marks the entity bean as supporting inheritance, i.e. the database maps to different Java classes depending on a discriminator value.

optionalif true, the column may be nulltrue
javax.persistence.Basic
@Target({METHOD, FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Basic {
  FetchType fetch() default EAGER;
  boolean optional() default true;
}

The fetch types are:

  • EAGER - fetch the field when the bean is loaded
  • LAZY - fetch the field only when the field is used
Example: string property
@Entity
public class Course {
  @Basic
  public String getName()

  ...
}
Example: lazy-loaded property
@Entity
public class Course {
  @Basic(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
  public String getMassiveText()

  ...
}

@Column

Specifies the field's SQL column name as well as any CREATE TABLE properties for auto generation.

PROPERTYDESCRIPTIONDEFAULT
nameThe SQL name of the columnthe field name
uniqueTrue for UNIQUE columnsfalse
nullableFalse for IS NOT NULL columnstrue
insertableTrue if column is inserted on as SQL INSERT calltrue
updatableTrue if column is updated when the field is modifiedfalse

          unique=true,
          nullable=false,
          length=32)
  public String getName()

  ...
}

@Embedded

Marks a field as containing an embeddable value. The field's value will be a class marked as @Embeddable. Applications can use @Embedded fields to gather columns into meaningful groups.

javax.persistence.Embedded
@Target({METHOD, FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Embedded {
}

@EmbeddedId

Marks a field as a primary key with a embedded class. The field's value class must be marked with @Embeddable. Applications can use @EmbeddedId to implement compound keys.

javax.persistence.EmbeddedId
@Target({METHOD, FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface EmbeddedId {
}

@Enumerated

Marks a field as containing an enumerated value.

PROPERTYDESCRIPTIONDEFAULT
valueSpecifies whether the enum's ORDINAL or STRING representation should be saved in the database.ORDINAL
javax.persistence.Enumerated
@Target({METHOD, FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Enumerated {
  EnumType value() default ORDINAL;
}

@GeneratedValue

Used with @Id to specify a generator for automatic key generation when new objects are created.

PROPERTYDESCRIPTIONDEFAULT
generatorThe sequence or table generator name${'${'}table}_cseq
strategyThe auto-generation type: TABLE, SEQUENCE, IDENTITY or AUTOAUTO

The generator types are:

  • IDENTITY - the database supplies the new key, e.g. auto_increment, SERIAL, or IDENTITY
  • SEQUENCE - use a SEQUENCE type to generate the key
  • TABLE - use a @TableGenerator for the key
  • AUTO - choose the generator based on the database
    • MySQL - IDENTITY using auto_increment
    • Resin - IDENTITY using auto_increment
    • Postgres - SEQUENCE
    • Oracle - SEQUENCE
javax.persistence.GeneratedValue
@Target({METHOD, FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface GeneratedValue {
  GenerationType strategy() default AUTO;
  String generator() default "";
}

For SEQUENCE and TABLE, Resin will create the sequence name as "${'${'}table}_cseq".

Example: autoincrement generation
import javax.persistence.*;

@Entity
public class Course {
  @Id
  @GeneratedValue
  public long getId()

  ...
}
Example: sequence generation
import javax.persistence.*;

@Entity
public class Course {
  @Id
  @GeneratedValue(strategy=GeneratorType.AUTO
                  generator="COURSE_SEQ")
  public long getId()

  ...
}

@Id

Marks a field as a primary key. The @Id may be used in combination with @GeneratedValue to specify a generator for automatic key generation when new objects are created.

javax.persistence.Id
@Target({METHOD, FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Id {
}

The default column name is "ID".

Example: automatic generation
import javax.persistence.*;

@Entity
public class Course {
  @Id
  @Column(name="t_id")
  @GeneratedValue
  public long getId()

  ...
}

@Lob

javax.persistence.Temporal
@Target({METHOD, FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Temporal {
  TemporalType value() default TIMESTAMP;
}

@Transient

@Transient makes a field non-persistent. @Transient fields work like the transient annotation to prevent properties being saved.

javax.persistence.Transient
@Target({METHOD,FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Transient {
}

@Version

@Version marks a version field, used for optimistic locking.

javax.persistence.Version
@Target({METHOD,FIELD})

Amber Lifecycle

Non-Transactional Lifecycle

Amber's non-transactional lifecycle has three important states:

  • clean: the bean is loaded from the database
  • dirty: the bean has unwritten changes
  • hollow: the bean is unloaded (lazily-loaded)

In the diagram below, the red methods (load(), getXXX(), and flush()) query and update the database.

The aConn.load("1") method loads the bean from the database and transitions to the clean state.

Calling test.setData("foo") will change to the dirty state.

Calling aConn.flush() writes the changes to the database and changes to the clean state. Amber may also flush the changes and change to the clean state at any time. flush() merely guarantees that the changes will be flushed to the database.

The hollow state represents lazily-loaded entities. many-to-one relations and some queries will return the unloaded bean instead of a loaded bean. When the application calls a getXXX() method, the bean will load from the database and change to the clean state. When the application calls a setXXX() method, the bean will change to the dirty state.

Example: Amber outside transaction
public class MyServlet extends GenericServlet {
  @In EntityManagerFactory _factory;
  @In UserTransaction _trans;

  ...

  public void doTest(PrintWriter out)
    throws IOException
  {
     EntityManager aConn = _factory.createManager();

     // load() loads test and then detaches it
     qa.Test test = aConn.load(qa.Test.class, "1");

     // test has the loaded values
     out.println(test.getData());

     // but parent is not lazily-loaded when detached, i.e. it's null.
     qa.Test parent = test.getParent();

     aConn.close();
  }
}

Transactional Lifecycle

In a transaction, Amber loads the bean from the database, even if it was loaded outside of the transaction. (Exceptions exist for cases like read-only beans.) By loading the bean in the transaction, Amber lets the database handle the transactional locking and state consistency.

Just like the non-transactional clean and dirty states, Amber has transactional clean and dirty states called Persistent-clean and Persistent-dirty. As in the non-transactional case, the hollow state represents lazily-loaded beans.

  • persistent-clean: the bean is loaded from the database within the transaction
  • persistent-dirty: the bean has been changed
  • hollow: the bean is unloaded (lazily-loaded or rolled-back)
  • persistent-nonXA: the bean was loaded outside of the transaction (and would need reloading if used in the transaction)

The main differences from the non-transactional lifecycle are:

  • Transactions need a load from inside the transaction. Loads before the transaction cannot be reused.
  • Updates occur during the commit() call and change to the nonXA-clean state
  • Rollbacks change to the hollow state.

Configuration Files

Example configuration

The lifecycle description uses a single running example, Test, which has two properties: getData() which returns a string, and getParent() which is a pointer to another Test object.
