Interface DeferredValue

All Superinterfaces:

InternalUnsupportedTypeFactory.Marker

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface DeferredValue
extends InternalUnsupportedTypeFactory.Marker

A value that is not known until a preceding row of the same transaction has been executed, e.g. a generated PK propagated to a dependent PK or to a foreign key. Such a value is captured when a batch is planned and resolved lazily via resolve(Object) when the owning row is bound, after the rows it depends on have been executed.

Method Details

get

Object get()

Returns the current value, which may itself be another DeferredValue. Use resolve(Object) to collapse a full chain.

resolve

static Object resolve(Object value)

Fully resolves a value that may be a DeferredValue, following nested chains all the way down. A value that is not a DeferredValue is returned as is. Throws if the chain does not terminate, guarding against a value that (incorrectly) resolves to itself.
