Method Detail

listKeys

@Nonnull
@NonnullElements
@NotLive
@Unmodifiable
Set<String> listKeys()
              throws IOException

Return a set of the index keys of all objects under management.

Returns:

a set of all indexed keys

Throws:

IOException - if there is a fatal error obtaining the keys

listAll

@Nonnull
@NonnullElements
Iterable<Pair<String,T>> listAll()
                                throws IOException

Return an iterable of all objects under management, along with their associated index key.

Returns:

an iterable of all managed objects

Throws:

IOException - if there is a fatal error loading the managed objects

exists

boolean exists(@Nonnull @NotEmpty
               String key)
        throws IOException

Evaluate whether an object already exists indexed by the supplied key.

Parameters:

key - the key of the desired object

Returns:

true if object exists, false otherwise

Throws:

IOException - if there is a fatal error evaluating object existence

load

@Nullable
T load(@Nonnull @NotEmpty
       String key)
throws IOException

Load a particular object based on the supplied key.

Parameters:

key - the key of the desired object

Returns:

the object saved under the specified key, or null if there is no such object

Throws:

IOException - if there is a fatal error loading the object

save

void save(@Nonnull @NotEmpty
          String key,
          @Nonnull
          T xmlObject)
   throws IOException

Save a particular object, indexed by the supplied key.

An existing object indexed by the supplied key will not be overwritten. Instead an IOException will be thrown. For saving with the overwrite option, see save(String, XMLObject, boolean).

Parameters:

key - the key under which to index the object

xmlObject - the object to save

Throws:

IOException - if there is a fatal error saving the object, or if an object already exists indexed by the supplied key

save

void save(@Nonnull @NotEmpty
          String key,
          @Nonnull
          T xmlObject,
          boolean overwrite)
   throws IOException

Save a particular object, indexed by the supplied key.

Parameters:

key - the key under which to index the object

xmlObject - the object to save

overwrite - whether or not to overwrite any existing object indexed by the supplied key

Throws:

IOException - if there is a fatal error saving the object, or if overwrite=false, if an object already exists indexed by the supplied key

remove

boolean remove(@Nonnull @NotEmpty
               String key)
        throws IOException

Remove the object indexed by the specified key.

Parameters:

key - the key of the object to remove

Returns:

true if the object was found and successfully removed, false if no such object was found

Throws:

IOException - if there was a fatal error removing the object

updateKey

boolean updateKey(@Nonnull @NotEmpty
                  String currentKey,
                  @Nonnull @NotEmpty
                  String newKey)
           throws IOException

Update the key under which a particular object is stored.

Parameters:

currentKey - the current key under which the object is stored

newKey - the new key under which the object should be stored

Returns:

true if the object was found under the current key and the key successfully updated, false if no such object was found

Throws:

IOException - if there was a fatal error updating the key
