Instead new classes should be derived from it. =cut ############################################################################## # Constants ############################################################################## use constant FIELD_INVALID => 0x00; use constant FIELD_NONE => 0x01; use constant FIELD_READ => 0x02; use constant FIELD_WRITE => 0x04; use constant FIELD_RDWR => FIELD_READ | FIELD_WRITE; use constant CAN_DO_LIST_IDS => 0; use constant CAN_DO_LIST => 0; use constant CAN_DO_LOOKUP => 0; use constant HAS_CLASS_ID => 0; use constant HAS_MULTISITE => 0; ############################################################################## # Dependencies ############################################################################## # Standard Dependencies use strict; ############################################################################## # Programmatic Dependencies use Bric::Util::Fault qw(:all); use Bric::Config qw(:qa :mod_perl CACHE_DEBUG_MODE); # Load the Apache modules if we're in mod_perl. if (defined MOD_PERL) { require Apache; require Apache::Request; } ############################################################################## # Public Instance Fields # All subclasses should use the RegisterFields function rather than the below # code sub ACCESS { return {# debug => FIELD_RDWR, # public field _dirty => FIELD_NONE, # private field }; } ############################################################################## # Interface ############################################################################## =head1 INTERFACE =head2 Constructors =head3 new my $obj = Bric->new($init); Call this constructor from all derived classes. This sets up some basic fields and methods. B =over 4 =item Exception::Gen =back =cut sub new { my $self = shift; my ($init) = @_; # Instantiate object $self = bless {}, $self unless ref $self; # Fill in object state fields and configuration fields $self->_set($init) if $init; return $self; } ############################################################################## =head3 lookup my $obj = Bric->lookup({ id => $obj_id }); This method is similar to C except it is used only to retrieve a already existing object of this type from the database whereas C creates a new, empty object. All subclasses should override this method in order to look up their objects in the database. However, they must first call C to see if it can retrieve the object from the cache. If they can, they should simply return the object. Otherwise, once they look up the object in the database, they should cache it via the C method. For example: sub lookup { my $pkg = shift; my $self = $pkg->cache_lookup(@_); return $self if $self; # ... Continue to look up object in the database. Then... $self->cache_me; } B =over =item Exception::MNI =back =cut sub lookup { throw_mni "lookup() method not implemented" } ############################################################################## =head3 cache_lookup my $obj = Bric->cache_lookup({ id => $obj_id }); Looks up an object in the cache and returns it if it exists. Otherwise it returns C. This method is meant to be used by Bric subclasses in their C methods. See C for an example. =cut sub cache_lookup { if (defined MOD_PERL) { my ($pkg, $param) = @_; my $req = Apache->request; # We may be called during Apache startup return unless $req; my $r = Apache::Request->instance($req); $pkg = ref $pkg || $pkg; while (my ($k, $v) = each %$param) { if (my $obj = $r->pnotes("$pkg|$k|" . lc $v)) { return $obj; } } } if(CACHE_DEBUG_MODE && $Bric::CACHE_DEBUG_MODE_RUNTIME) { my ($pkg, $param) = @_; $pkg = ref $pkg || $pkg; while (my ($k, $v) = each %$param) { if (exists $Bric::DEBUG_CACHE{"$pkg|$k|" . lc $v}) { return $Bric::DEBUG_CACHE{"$pkg|$k|" . lc $v}; } } } return; } ############################################################################## =head3 list my @objs = Bric->list($params); my $objs_aref = Bric->list($params); This is an abstract method. All derived classes should override this method. It takes a list of parameters and searches the database for objects that meet the parameter serach criteria. It returns a list of objects in an array context, and an array reference of objects in a scalar context. In the concrete implementations of this method, classes should also call C for every object to be returned. B =over 4 =item Exception::MNI =back =cut sub list { throw_mni "list() method not implemented" } ############################################################################## =head2 Class Methods =head3 list_ids my @ids = Bric->list_ids($params); my $ids_aref = Bric->list_ids($params); This is an abstract method. It takes a list of parameters and searches the database for objects that meet the parameter serach criteria. It returns a list of object IDs in an array context, and an array reference of object IDs in a scalar context. B =over 4 =item Exception::MNI =back =cut sub list_ids { throw_mni "list_ids ()method not implemented" } ############################################################################## =head3 my_meths my $meths = Bric->my_meths my @meths = Bric->my_meths(1); my $meths_aref = Bric->my_meths(1); @meths = Bric->my_meths(0, 1); $meths_aref = Bric->my_meths(0, 1); Returns an anonymous hash of introspection data for this object. If called with a true argument, it will return an ordered list or anonymous array of introspection data. If a second true argument is passed instead of a first, then a list or anonymous array of introspection data will be returned for properties that uniquely identify an object (excluding C, which is assumed). Each hash key is the name of a property or attribute of the object. See each subclass for a list of the properties included in the hash. The value for a hash key is another anonymous hash containing the following keys: =over 4 =item name The name of the property or attribute. Is the same as the hash key when an anonymous hash is returned. =item disp The display name of the property or attribute. =item get_meth A reference to the method that will retrieve the value of the property or attribute. =item get_args An anonymous array of arguments to pass to a call to get_meth in order to retrieve the value of the property or attribute. =item set_meth A reference to the method that will set the value of the property or attribute. =item set_args An anonymous array of arguments to pass to a call to set_meth in order to set the value of the property or attribute. =item type The type of value the property or attribute contains. There are only three types: =over 4 =item short =item date =item blob =back =item len If the value is a 'short' value, this hash key contains the length of the field. =item search The property is searchable via the list() and list_ids() methods. =item req The property or attribute is required. =item props An anonymous hash of properties used to display the property or attribute. Possible keys include: =over 4 =item type The display field type. Possible values are =over 4 =item text =item textarea =item password =item hidden =item radio =item checkbox =item select =back =item length The Length, in letters, to display a text or password field. =item maxlength The maximum length of the property or value - usually defined by the SQL DDL. =back =item rows The number of rows to format in a textarea field. =item cols The number of columns to format in a textarea field. =item vals An anonymous hash of key/value pairs reprsenting the values and display names to use in a select list. =back B The method is a no-op here in the Bric base class. See the subclasses for implementations and detail regarding the properties they return. =cut sub my_meths {} ############################################################################## =begin private =head2 Destructors =head3 DESTROY This is the default destructor method.
