Adaptation (TIBCO EBX® Version 5.9.17 Java API)

All Superinterfaces:

ReadContext
```
public interface Adaptation
extends ReadContext
```
Provides a read-only access facade to data values in EBX®.
An Adaptation represents either a dataset or a table record.

Datasets make up dataspaces, which serve to isolate or organize datasets, and are represented by the class AdaptationHome in the Java API.

Note: In versions before 5.0, a dataset was known as an adaptation instance, and a record was sometimes referred to as an occurrence.

Accessing values

Values in a dataset or record are organized in a structure that conforms to an underlying data model (XML Schema Document). Each value is accessed using a path. For improved reliability and performance, it is recommended to use a path generated using Java constants (see Java bindings).

Note: Only terminal nodes hold actual values.

The interface ValueContext provides access functionality that is equivalent to that of Adaptation. However, absolute paths are not interpreted the same way by the two interfaces:
- For a ValueContext, the absolute path always begins at the root of the dataset, even if it is a table record.
- For an Adaptation, the absolute path begins at the root node of the dataset or record. That is, if it is a record, the absolute path begins at the record root and not at the root of its dataset.

    If no owner is specified for this dataset, it returns the profile that owns its parent. It never returns null.
  - getCreator
```
UserReference getCreator()
```
    Returns the creator of this dataset or record.
    May return null if the record has been created before 5.7.0.
    
    Since:
    
    5.7.0
  - getTimeOfCreation
```
Date getTimeOfCreation()
```
    Returns the creation time of this dataset or record.
  - getTimeOfLastModification
```
Date getTimeOfLastModification()
```
    Returns the time of the last modification of this dataset or record.
    Current limitation: if this is a dataset, not a table record, the time returned does not take into account modifications performed on contained table records (dataset time is only updated for local content modifications).
    
    See Also:
    
    getLastUser()
  - getLastUser
```
UserReference getLastUser()
```
    Returns the last user who modified this dataset or record.
    Current limitation: if this is a dataset, not a table record, the last user is the user that has modified dataset content locally (if another user has made an update within a table, it is not taken into account).
    
    See Also:
    
    getTimeOfLastModification()
  - isActivated
```
boolean isActivated()
```
    Returns true if this dataset or record is activated.
    This state impacts validation:
    - disabled:
      the disabled state means that the validation of the dataset or record will accept undefined values on "mandatory" elements (elements with minOccurs="1" in the data model). This feature allows for internal EBX® inheritance. It holds common values that will be inherited by child datasets, while other values often remain undefined. Note: A disabled dataset or record should not be exported to or used by external systems, as it may be incomplete.
    - activated: the activated state means that the dataset or record is fully validated, including checking that all "mandatory" elements are present. An activated and successfully validated dataset or record can be safely used by external systems.
    See Also:
    
    getValidationReport(boolean)
  - isDeleted
```
boolean isDeleted()
```
    Returns true if this dataset or record has become unavailable. This may happen if:
    - the dataset or record has been deleted,
    - its dataspace has been closed, or
    - for a table record, its table has been removed from the data model.
  - getUpToDateInstance
```
Adaptation getUpToDateInstance()
```
    Returns an object that is up-to-date with respect to the underlying persistent entity (dataset or table record). It returns null if the entity has been persistently deleted or has become unavailable due to its dataspace being closed or due to the table record's container being deleted.
    A dataset or record object can become obsolete for several reasons even if its entity has not been deleted, including a concurrent update, a data model refresh, etc. Thus, it is generally not recommended for the client application to hold a dataset or record object for a long period of time, or to regularly invoke this method. The safest way is to put the code in a "SERIALIZABLE" isolation level. For more information, see the section Concurrency and isolation levels).
    
    This method has the same result as dataset.getHome().findAdaptationOrNull(dataset.getAdaptationName()).
  - get
```
Object get(Path aPath)
    throws PathAccessException
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadContext
    
    Returns the value of the specified node. Returns null if the value of the node is undefined.
    If this method is called on an Adaptation, a lookup mechanism is used to retrieve the value (see Inheritance and value resolution).
    
    Access and mapping rules
    
    The access and mapping rules between XML Schema and Java are described in the chapter Mapping to Java.
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in interface ReadContext
    
    Throws:
    
    PathAccessException - if aPath does not refer to an existing node in the underlying type tree structure.
    
    See Also:
    
    getValueWithoutResolution(Path)
  - get
```
Object get(SchemaNode aNode)
    throws PathAccessException
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadContext
    
    Returns the value of the specified node.
    This method is equivalent to get(aNode.getPathInAdaptation()), but is slightly more efficient.
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in interface ReadContext
    
    Throws:
    
    PathAccessException
  - getValueWithoutResolution
```
Object getValueWithoutResolution(Path aPath)
```
    Returns the value at the path specified, which is either inherited, null, or a specific object. Specifically:
    1. If the actual value is inherited, it returns AdaptationValue.INHERIT_VALUE.
    2. If the actual value is not inherited and is not null, it returns the object defined (it must be an instance of the node's type).
    3. If the actual value is set to null (not inherited), it returns null.
    See Inheritance and value resolution for more information.
    Parameters:
    
    aPath - location of the node. Only absolute paths are supported and they must specify a terminal node. If this is a table record, the path begins at the root of the record.
    
    Throws:
    
    PathAccessException - If no node exists for the specified path.
    
    See Also:
    
    ReadContext.get(Path)
  - createValueContext
```
ValueContext createValueContext()
```
    Returns a ValueContext for this Adaptation.
    This context is standard regarding path resolution: an absolute path is always considered as the dataset's root node, even if this is a table record.
  - isSchemaDefinitionCompliant
```
boolean isSchemaDefinitionCompliant(boolean ensureActivation)
```
    Returns true if the validation report of this dataset or record has no errors.
    This method is equivalent to:
```
 ValidationReport report = this.getValidationReport(ensureActivation, true);
 if (report.hasItemsOfSeverityOrMore(Severity.ERROR))
        return false;
 else
        return true;
 
```
    See Also:
    
    getValidationReport(boolean, boolean)
  - getValidationReport
```
ValidationReport getValidationReport()
```
    Returns an up-to-date validation report of this dataset or record.
    This method is equivalent to:
    
    Adaptation.getValidationReport(true, true);
    
    See Also:
    
    getValidationReport(boolean, boolean)
  - getValidationReport
```
ValidationReport getValidationReport(boolean ensureActivation)
```
    Returns an up-to-date validation report of this dataset or record.
    This method is equivalent to:
    
    Adaptation.getValidationReport(ensureActivation, true);
    
    See Also:
    
    getValidationReport(boolean, boolean)
  - getValidationReport
```
ValidationReport getValidationReport(boolean ensureActivation,
                                     boolean updateValidationReport)
```
    Returns the validation report of this dataset or record.
    This method is equivalent to:
```
 ValidationSpec spec = new ValidationSpec();
 spec.setActivationEnsured(ensureActivation);
 spec.setRefreshPolicy(updateValidationReport ? RefreshPolicy.UP_TO_DATE : RefreshPolicy.AS_IS);

 Adaptation.getValidationReport(spec);
 
```
    See Also:
    
    getValidationReport(ValidationSpec), ValidationSpec
  - getValidationReport
```
ValidationReport getValidationReport(ValidationSpec aValidationSpec)
```
    Returns the validation report of this dataset or record according to the specified properties.
    If this is a dataset, the validation takes into account all the constraints defined by the underlying data model.
    
    If this is a table record, all the constraints in the table declaration and the record-level checks in the table controls are taken into account.
    
    This method also returns the validation messages added by a constraints on table and related to this table record if the container table has been previously validated. However, if the state of a constraint on table is obsolete and if this constraint does not implement checks at record level, then the returned message(s) can be wrong; as a workaround an explicit validation of the container table must be done just before.
    
    The report returned by this method is not affected by modifications performed after this method is called. The rules for ensuring that data in EBX® remains valid, despite potential concurrent updates, are explained in the section Consistency and validation.
    
    If a validation message threshold is defined in the EBX® main configuration file, this threshold is applied to each constraint defined in the underlying data model and for each severity if this instance is a dataset. That is, the validation message threshold is ignored if this instance is a record. When the threshold is reached by a constraint and a severity: the validation of the constraint is stopped and an error message indicating that the threshold has been reached is added to the validation report.
    
    Limitation: this method should not be called inside a programmatic constraint or a value function with the argument updateValidationReport set to true, since the computation of an up-to-date validation report is not supported during a validation process and may cause inconsistent results. In this case, the method Adaptation.getValidationReport(..., false) should be used instead inside a programmatic constraint or a value function.

    aNode - the node whose validation result is to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the validation report associated with the specified node. Note: if the node is maxOccurs > 1, the report will contain the messages of its elements.
    
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - If the specified node is:
    
    of a complex type (for a table, the method AdaptationTable.getValidationReport() must be used instead);

```
boolean matches(String anXPathPredicateExpression)
```
    For a table record, this method returns whether the XPath predicate matches the record.
    Example:
    
    record.matches("./boolean='true' and date-equal(./date,'2001-01-01')");
    
    If this is a dataset, not a table record, the method always returns false.

boolean matches(String anXPathPredicateExpression,
                Locale locale)
```
    For a table record, this method returns whether the localized XPath predicate matches the record.
    Example:
    
    record.matches("osd:label(./localized_field)='A' and ./boolean='true'");
    
    If this is a dataset, not a table record, the method always returns false.
  - toXPathExpression
```
String toXPathExpression()
```
    For a table record, this method returns the XPath expression that selects it in its dataset.
    Example:
    
    /root/categoryX/tableY[pkey1="A01" and pkey2="666"]
    
    If this is a dataset, not a table record, the method always returns "/" (root path).
