Interface LazyCGLIB

All Superinterfaces:
java.io.Serializable

public interface LazyCGLIB
extends java.io.Serializable

Lazy is a place holder interface to indicate that a data object or a Collection in a data object is an Lazy instance. In other words, instances of the objects are not retrieved from the persistence store at load time, but will be materialized when the instance is actually needed/accessed.

Implementations of this class need to provide a writeReplace() methor required during Java serialization.

Method Detail

writeReplace

java.lang.Object writeReplace()
                              throws java.io.ObjectStreamException
Implementation of writeReplace specific to lazy loading.

Returns:
The real object.
Throws:
java.io.ObjectStreamException - If the replace activity failed.

interceptedClass

java.lang.Class interceptedClass()
Returns the Class instance for the class to be intercepted.

Returns:
Class instance for the intercepted class.

interceptedIdentity

java.lang.Object interceptedIdentity()
Returns the identity of the object (class) intercepted.

Returns:
identity of the object (class) intercepted.

interceptedClassMolder

ClassMolder interceptedClassMolder()
Returns the ClassMolder of the object intercepted.

Returns:
ClassMolder of the object intercepted.

interceptedLockEngine

LockEngine interceptedLockEngine()
Returns the LockEngine of the object intercepted.

Returns:
LockEngine of the object intercepted.

interceptedHasMaterialized

java.lang.Boolean interceptedHasMaterialized()
