public class List
extends java.util.AbstractList
implements SCOList, SCOLazyLoading, java.lang.Cloneable, Queryable, java.io.Serializable

A mutable second-class List object, representing a field in a class, and containing elements of a particular type. Uses a "delegate" as a local store for the List. Uses a "backing store" (ListStore) to represent the datastore. The "delegate" is updated with the "backing store" information at necessary intervals.

Modes of Operation

The user can operate the collection in 2 modes. The cached mode will use an internal cache of the elements (in the "delegate") reading them at the first opportunity and then using the cache thereafter. The non-cached mode will just go direct to the "backing store" each call.

Mutators

When the backing store is present any updates are passed direct to the datastore as well as to the "delegate". If the "backing store" isn't present the changes are made to the "delegate" only.

Accessors

When any accessor method is invoked, it typically checks whether the collection has been loaded from its backing store and does this as necessary. Some methods (size(), contains()) just check if everything is loaded and use the delegate if possible, otherwise going direct to the datastore.

The writeReplace method is called when ObjectOutputStream is preparing to write the object to the stream. The ObjectOutputStream checks whether the class defines the writeReplace method. If the method is defined, the writeReplace method is called to allow the object to designate its replacement in the stream.

Returns:
the replaced object
Throws:
java.io.ObjectStreamException

loadFromStore

protected void loadFromStore()
Method to load all elements from the "backing store" where appropriate.
