public interface Extent
Extent
class represent the entire collection
of instances in the data store of the candidate class
possibly including its subclasses.
The Extent
instance has two possible uses:
Query
in the data store over all instances
of a particular class
Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
void |
close(java.util.Iterator it)
Close an
Iterator associated with this Extent instance. |
void |
closeAll()
Close all
Iterator s associated with this Extent instance. |
java.lang.Class |
getCandidateClass()
An
Extent contains all instances of a particular class in the data
store; this method returns the Class of the instances. |
PersistenceManager |
getPersistenceManager()
An
Extent is managed by a PersistenceManager ;
this method gives access to the owning PersistenceManager . |
boolean |
hasSubclasses()
Returns whether this
Extent was defined to contain subclasses. |
java.util.Iterator |
iterator()
Returns an iterator over all the instances in the
Extent . |
java.util.Iterator iterator()
Extent
.
The behavior of the returned iterator might depend on the setting of the
ignoreCache
flag in the owning PersistenceManager

Iterator
s associated with this Extent
instance.
Iterator
s closed by this method will return false
to hasNext()
and will throw
NoSuchElementException
on next()
.
The Extent
instance can still be used
as a parameter of Query.setExtent
, and to get an Iterator
