public interface EntityList extends Iterable<Entity>
A list of (possibly hollow) entities.

The list is either the result from Queries, or from one of the wrapper creators in EntityLists.

Implementations may be of fixed size and immutable, or resizable and modifiable. They may contain entities of state conception, or not.

  • Method Details

    • size

      int size()
      Get the number of entities this list contains.
      Returns:
      The number of entities.

    • isEmpty

      boolean isEmpty()
      Same as size() == 0
      Returns:
      If the list is empty.

    • getKeys

      PrimaryKey[] getKeys()
      Read in subclasses if this array can contain null values or not.
      Returns:
      A defensive copy of the array. The size matches the size() method.

    • get

      Entity get(int index)
      Get the entity at the specified index with eager loading.

      This method will load a full page if the entity is currently hollow.

      Parameters:
      index - The index.
      Returns:
      The entity at the specified index potentially in unusable state, or null.

    • get

      Entity get(PrimaryKey key)
      Get the entity with the specified key in that list with eager loading.
      Returns:
      The entity potentially in unusable state, or null.
      See Also:

    • get

      Entity get(int index, boolean eager)
      Get the entity at the specified index.
      Parameters:
      index - The index.
      eager - true, if a page should be eagerly loaded, if the entity's state is hollow, false otherwise.
      Returns:
      The entity at the specified index potentially in unusable state, or null.

    • get

      Entity get(PrimaryKey key, boolean eager)
      Get the entity with the specified key in that list.
      Parameters:
      key - The key of the entity.
      eager - true, if a page should be eagerly loaded, if the entity's state is hollow, false otherwise.
      Returns:
      The entity with the specified key potentially in unusable state, or null.
