Interface Projection<T>
-
- Type Parameters:
T
- The type of the original domain class describing the data available in this projection.
- All Superinterfaces:
ReferenceAware<T>
,Serializable
public interface Projection<T> extends Serializable, ReferenceAware<T>
Represents a projection class mapping to a persisted domain class. This is usually implemented concretely (especially during projection auto-generation) with additional fields describing interesting attributes of the persisted domain (or synthetic attributes) incoming and outgoing from the service API.- Author:

Method Detail

get
static <T> Projection<T> get(Class<T> from)
RetrieveProjection
instance referencing the persistence domain class type. SeeProjectionFactory
for more information on dynamic projections.- Type Parameters:
T
- The persistence domain class type- Parameters:
from
- The persistence domain class the projection instances references- Returns:
- The instantiated instance implementing Projection.
-
get
static <T> Projection<T> get(Class<T> from, String id)
RetrieveProjection
instance referencing the persistence domain class type. SeeProjectionFactory
for more information on dynamic projections.- Type Parameters:
T
- The persistence domain class type- Parameters:
from
- The persistence domain class the projection instances referencesid
- The id value to set on the projection instance (seegetId()
)- Returns:
- The instantiated instance implementing Projection.
-
from
@Nullable static <H extends Projection<?>> H from(@Nullable Object val)
Convenience method for casting to a Projection instance from a supertype.- Type Parameters:
H
- The return type expected by the calling context- Returns:
- The object to cast to the projection type
-
cast
@Nullable static <H> org.springframework.data.domain.Page<H> cast(@Nullable org.springframework.data.domain.Page<?> page)
Convenience method for casting to/from Page whose generic type is a superclass of the projection to/from a Page typed to this projection type.- Type Parameters:
H
- The return type expected by the calling context- Parameters:
page
- The projection or superclass typed Page instance- Returns:
- The Page instance cast to the type expected by the caller
-
cast
@Nullable static <H> List<H> cast(@Nullable List<?> list)
Convenience method for casting to/from List whose generic type is a superclass of the projection to/from a List typed to this projection type.- Type Parameters:
H
- The return type expected by the calling context- Parameters:
list
- The projection or superclass typed List instance- Returns:
- The List instance cast to the type expected by the caller
-
cast
@Nullable static <H> Set<H> cast(@Nullable Set<?> set)
Convenience method for casting to/from Set whose generic type is a superclass of the projection to/from a Set typed to this projection type.- Type Parameters:
H
- The return type expected by the calling context- Parameters:
set
- The projection or superclass typed Set instance- Returns:
- The Set instance cast to the type expected by the caller
-
getId
String getId()
Projections are expected to have an id field as a first class citizen. For projections related to Trackable domain, this id will relate to the contextId field.- Returns:
- The identification field reported for the related domain class
-
setId
void setId(String id)
Projections are expected to have an id field as a first class citizen. For projections related to Trackable domain, this id will relate to the contextId field.- Parameters:
id
- The identification field reported for the related domain class
-
expose
default T expose()
Projections are generated automatically by the system at runtime based on the related domain class. As such, the API internally exposed on the projection is similar to the related domain class API. This method provides exposure of the domain class API, but invocations are instead transparently invoked against the projection instance. SeeInvocationUtils
for more information on what is taking place behind the scenes.- Returns:
- An instance of this projection callable from the API of
<T>
.
-
as
default <H> H as()
Convenience method for casting a Projection instance to a supertype of implemented interface. This is useful when passing a projection to a business tier service that expects the supertype.- Type Parameters:
H
- The return type expected by the calling context- Returns:
- The projection cast to the return type expected by the calling context
