Class PersistenceManager

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Thread

atavism.server.engine.PersistenceManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class PersistenceManager
extends java.lang.Thread

For use by EnginePlugins, handles periodically saving objects using the object persistence plugin. You must call start() for this to begin its save loop, this is usually done via the EnginePlugin startPersistenceManager() method. You add dirty entities to the PersistenceManager, and it will save it to the database when it goes through its list. You can add dirty entities more than once, it will ignore subsequent calls.

The PersistenceManager gets the database object from Engine.getDatabase()

Method Detail

registerSaveHook

public void registerSaveHook(Namespace namespace,
                             EnginePlugin.SaveHook saveHook)

Register a save hook.

Parameters:

saveHook - the hook to be used when your sub object is marked dirty and needs to be saved. it should handle deep copy if needed. this will be called by the persistenceManager when it wants to save the object. if saveHook is null, it will use the default handler which does not do a deep copy

setDirty

public void setDirty(Entity entity)

Add entity to the dirty list. The entity will be saved during the next "save object" cycle. setDirty() will start the persistence manager on first use.

clearDirty

public void clearDirty(Entity entity)

Remove entity from the dirty list.

isDirty

public boolean isDirty(Entity entity)

True if the entity is on the dirty list.
