Class BusinessKey

  • public class BusinessKey
extends Object
    Methods to test business-key-related issues on objects. The 'checkValidKey' methods can be used to check whether an object has the required business key values filled in. An exception is thrown if they don't. This class contains some important code that determines our rules for how entities are detected as being the same as another (in queries from the database; this is on top of basic 'equals', but should be compatible).

      • addRestrictions

        public static void addRestrictions​(Criteria queryObject,
                                   ArrayDesign arrayDesign)

      • addRestrictions

        public static void addRestrictions​(Criteria queryObject,
                                   BioAssay bioAssay)

      • addRestrictions

        public static void addRestrictions​(Criteria queryObject,
                                   BioMaterial bioMaterial)

      • addRestrictions

        public static void addRestrictions​(Criteria queryObject,
                                   BioSequence bioSequence)
        Note: The finder has to do the additional checking for equality of sequence and/or database entry - we don't know until we get the sequences. Due to the following issues:
        • Sometimes the sequence in the database lacks the DatabaseEntry
        • Sometimes the old entry lacks the actual sequence (ATCG..)
        This means that we can't use those criteria up front. Instead we match by name and taxon. If those match, the caller has to sort through possible multiple results to find the correct one.
        Parameters:
        bioSequence - bio sequence
        queryObject - query object
