public class ClusterBuilder
extends VirtualBuilder

The builder for clusternodes.

Provides these methods to retrieve clusternodes:

• getClusterNodes(SearchQuery) to retrieve clusternodes using a SearchQuery (recommended).
• getMultiLevelSearchQuery(List,List,String,List,String,List,List,int) as a convenience method to create a SearchQuery
• searchMultiLevelVector(List,List,String,List,String,List,List,int) to retrieve clusternodes using a constraint string.

Individual nodes in a 'cluster' node can be retrieved by calling the node's getNodeValue() method, using the builder name (or step alias) as argument.

To Do:

XXXX. This 'builder' is actually singleton (only one instance is created). It does therefore not support getFields, so this is more or less hacked in bridge. Perhaps in 'core' a similar approach as now in birdge must be taken, so no ClusterBuilder, but only Virtual builders, one for every query result.

Field Detail

SEARCH_BOTH

public static final int SEARCH_BOTH

Deprecated. use RelationStep.DIRECTIONS_BOTH In future versions of MMBase (1.8 and up) this will be the default value

Search for all valid relations. When searching relations, return both relations from source to deastination and from destination to source, provided there is an allowed relation in that directon.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SEARCH_DESTINATION

public static final int SEARCH_DESTINATION

Deprecated. use RelationStep.DIRECTIONS_DESTINATION

Search for destinations, When searching relations, return only relations from source to deastination.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SEARCH_SOURCE

public static final int SEARCH_SOURCE

Deprecated. use RelationStep.DIRECTIONS_SOURCE

Seach for sources. When searching a multilevel, return only relations from destination to source, provided directionality allows

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SEARCH_ALL

public static final int SEARCH_ALL

Deprecated. use RelationStep.DIRECTIONS_ALL

Search for all relations. When searching a multilevel, return both relations from source to deastination and from destination to source. Allowed relations are not checked - ALL relations are used. This makes more inefficient queries, but it is not really wrong.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SEARCH_EITHER

public static final int SEARCH_EITHER

Deprecated. use RelationStep.DIRECTIONS_EITHER. In future versions of MMBase (1.8 and up) the default value will be RelationStep.DIRECTIONS_BOTH

Search for either destination or source. When searching a multilevel, return either relations from source to destination OR from destination to source. The returned set is decided through the typerel tabel. However, if both directions ARE somehow supported, the system only returns source to destination relations. This is the default value (for compatibility purposes).

Deprecated. Use CoreClusterQueries.INSTANCE

                                                 List<Integer> searchDirs)

Creates search query that selects all the objects that match the searchkeys. The constraint must be in one of the formats specified by QueryConvertor#setConstraint().

Parameters:

snodes - null or a list of numbers of nodes to start the search with. These have to be present in the first table listed in the tables parameter.

fields - List of fieldnames to return. These should be formatted as stepalias.field, e.g. 'people.lastname'

pdistinct - 'YES' if the records returned need to be distinct (ignoring case). Any other value indicates double values can be returned.

tables - The builder chain, a list containing builder names. The search is formed by following the relations between successive builders in the list. It is possible to explicitly supply a relation builder by placing the name of the builder between two builders to search. Example: company,people or typedef,authrel,people.

where - The constraint, must be in one of the formats specified by QueryConvertor#setConstraint(). E.g. "WHERE news.title LIKE '%MMBase%' AND news.title > 100"

sortFields - null or a list of fieldnames on which you want to sort.

directions - null or a list of values containing, for each field in the sortFields parameter, a value indicating whether the sort is ascending (UP) or descending (DOWN). If less values are supplied then there are fields in order, the first value in the list is used for the remaining fields. Default value is 'UP'.

searchDirs - Specifies in which direction relations are to be followed, this must be one of the values defined by this class.

Returns:

the resulting search query.

addSteps

Map<String,BasicStep> addSteps(BasicSearchQuery query,
                               List<String> tables,
                               Map<String,Integer> roles,
                               boolean includeAllReference,
                               Map<String,BasicStepField> fieldsByAlias)

Creates a full chain of steps, adds these to the specified query. This includes adding necessary relation tables when not explicitly specified, and generating unique table aliases where necessary. Optionally adds "number"-fields for all tables in the original chain.

Parameters:

query - The searchquery.

tables - The original chain of tables.

roles - Map of tablenames mapped to Integer values, representing the nodenumber of a corresponing RelDef node. This method adds entries for table aliases that specify a role, e.g. "related" or "related2".

includeAllReference - Indicates if the "number"-fields must included in the query for all tables in the original chain.

fieldsByAlias - Map, mapping aliases (fieldname prefixed by table alias) to the stepfields in the query. An entry is added for each stepfield added to the query.

Returns:

Map, maps original table names to steps.

getBuilder

MMObjectBuilder getBuilder(String tableAlias,
                           Map<String,Integer> roles)

Gets builder corresponding to the specified table alias. This amounts to removing the optionally appended digit from the table alias, and interpreting the result as either a tablename or a relation role.

Parameters:

tableAlias - The table alias. Must be tablename or relation role, optionally appended with a digit, e.g. images, images3, related and related4.

roles - Map of tablenames mapped to Integer values, representing the nodenumber of a corresponing RelDef node. This method adds entries for table aliases that specify a role, e.g. "related" or "related2".

Returns:

The builder.

addFields

void addFields(BasicSearchQuery query,
               String expression,
               Map<String,BasicStep> stepsByAlias,
               Map<String,BasicStepField> fieldsByAlias)

Retrieves fieldnames from an expression, and adds these to a search query. The expression may be either a fieldname or a a functionname with a (commaseparated) parameterlist between parenthesis (parameters being expressions themselves).

Fieldnames must be formatted as stepalias.field.

Parameters:

query - The query.

expression - The expression.

stepsByAlias - Map, mapping step aliases to the steps in the query.

fieldsByAlias - Map, mapping field aliases (fieldname prefixed by table alias) to the stepfields in the query. An entry is added for each stepfield added to the query.

addSortOrders

void addSortOrders(BasicSearchQuery query,
                   List<String> fieldNames,
                   List<String> directions,
                   Map<String,BasicStepField> fieldsByAlias)

Adds sorting orders to a search query.

Parameters:

query - The query.

fieldNames - The fieldnames prefixed by the table aliases.

directions - The corresponding sorting directions ("UP"/"DOWN").

fieldsByAlias - Map, mapping field aliases (fieldname prefixed by table alias) to the stepfields in the query.

MMBase-1.7

getNodesStep

Step getNodesStep(List<Step> steps,
                  int nodeNumber)

Gets first step from list, that corresponds to the builder of a specified node - or one of its parentbuilders.

Parameters:

steps - The steps.

nodeNumber - The number identifying the node.

Returns:

The step, or null when not found.

addRelationDirections

void addRelationDirections(BasicSearchQuery query,
                           List<Integer> searchDirs,
                           Map<String,Integer> roles)

Adds relation directions.

Parameters:

query - The search query.

searchDirs - Specifies in which direction relations are to be followed. You can specify a direction for each relation in the path. If you specify less directions than there are relations, the last specified direction is used for the remaining relations. If you specify an empty list the default direction is BOTH.

roles - Map of tablenames mapped to Integer values, representing the nodenumber of the corresponing RelDef node.
