Castle ActiveRecord(三) 关联映射

ActiveRecord 提供一个DomainModel 工具,它使我们创建对象模型的相互关系非常容易。在上面的例子中我们已经创建了一个Blog类,它完全可以提供一个Post类及它们之间的关联。平白点讲,他们的关联是:

  • 一个Post属于一个Blog
  • 一个Blog有多个Post
使用HasMany特性 和BelongsTo特性

必须使用HasMany和BelongTo特性表达对象之间的关联。如下:

[ActiveRecord("Blogs")]
public class Blog : ActiveRecordBase
{

    
private IList _posts;

    [HasMany(
typeof(Post), Table="posts", ColumnKey="post_blogid")]
    
public IList Posts
    
{
        
get return _posts; }
        
set { _posts = value; }
    }

}


[ActiveRecord(
"Posts")]
public class Post : ActiveRecordBase
{

    
private Blog _blog;

    [BelongsTo(
"post_blogid")]
    
public Blog Blog
    
{
        
get return _blog; }
        
set { _blog = value; }
    }

}

在这个例子中,由于Post有一个BelongTo联合,ActiveRecord能够收集到这个信息并创建正确的HasMany,因此不必指定所有信息,象下面这样就可以了,注意对比“[HasMany(typeof(Post))]”:

[ActiveRecord("Blogs")]
public class Blog : ActiveRecordBase
{

    
private IList _posts;

    [HasMany(
typeof(Post))]
    
public IList Posts
    
{
        
get return _posts; }
        
set { _posts = value; }
    }

}

不要感到疑惑,让我们看看Post类,注意[BelongsTo("post_blogid")]

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace ActiveRecord
{
   
using Castle.ActiveRecord;
    [ActiveRecord(
"Posts")]
    
public class Post : ActiveRecordBase
    
{

        
private int _postId;
        
private string _postTitle;
        
private string _postContents;
        
private string _postCategory;
        
private System.DateTime _postCreated;
        
private bool _postPublished;
        
private Blog _blog;

        [PrimaryKey(PrimaryKeyType.Native, 
"post_id")]
        
public int PostId
        
{
            
get
            
{
                
return this._postId;
            }

            
set
            
{
                
this._postId = value;
            }

        }


        [Property(Column 
= "post_title")]
        
public string PostTitle
        
{
            
get
            
{
                
return this._postTitle;
            }

            
set
            
{
                
this._postTitle = value;
            }

        }


        [Property(Column 
= "post_contents")]
        
public string PostContents
        
{
            
get
            
{
                
return this._postContents;
            }

            
set
            
{
                
this._postContents = value;
            }

        }


        [Property(Column 
= "post_category")]
        
public string PostCategory
        
{
            
get
            
{
                
return this._postCategory;
            }

            
set
            
{
                
this._postCategory = value;
            }

        }


        [Property(Column 
= "post_created")]
        
public System.DateTime PostCreated
        
{
            
get
            
{
                
return this._postCreated;
            }

            
set
            
{
                
this._postCreated = value;
            }

        }


        [Property(Column 
= "post_published")]
        
public bool PostPublished
        
{
            
get
            
{
                
return this._postPublished;
            }

            
set
            
{
                
this._postPublished = value;
            }

        }


        [BelongsTo(
"post_blogid")]
        
public Blog Blog
        
{
            
get
            
{
                
return this._blog;
            }

            
set
            
{
                
this._blog = value;
            }

        }


        
public static void DeleteAll()
        
{
            ActiveRecordBase.DeleteAll(
typeof(Post));
        }


        
public static Post[] FindAll()
        
{
            
return ((Post[])(ActiveRecordBase.FindAll(typeof(Post))));
        }


        
public static Post Find(int PostId)
        
{
            
return ((Post)(ActiveRecordBase.FindByPrimaryKey(typeof(Post), PostId)));
        }

    }

}

好,我们来看看怎么使用关联映射吧。先看下面的代码:

Blog blog = Blog.Find(1);
newPost.PostTitle 
= "MyPostTitle";
newPost.PostPublished 
= true;
newPost.PostContents 
= "This is a great post!";
newPost.PostCategory 
= "Blogging";
newPost.PostCreated 
= DateTime.Now;
blog.Posts.Add(newPost );
blog.Save(); 

这段代码是无法正常运行的,因为Post类是一个瞬态类,在使用时我们必须先持久化它,象下面这样就可以运行了:

Blog blog = Blog.Find(1);
Post newPost 
= new Post();
newPost.PostTitle 
= "MyPostTitle";
newPost.PostPublished 
= true;
newPost.PostContents 
= "This is a great post!";
newPost.PostCategory 
= "Blogging";
newPost.PostCreated 
= DateTime.Now;
newPost.Blog 
= blog;
newPost.Save();
blog.Posts.Add(newPost);
blog.Save(); 

不过你的Blogs表中要有记录才行,否则会发生异常,告诉你找不到。又有人不禁想出了下面的代码:

Blog blog = New Blog();
blog.BlogName
="blogname";
blog.BlogAuthor
="This is my first post");
Post newPost 
= new Post();
newPost.PostTitle 
= "MyPostTitle";
newPost.PostPublished 
= true;
newPost.PostContents 
= "This is a great post!";
newPost.PostCategory 
= "Blogging";
newPost.PostCreated 
= DateTime.Now;
newPost.Save();
blog.Posts.Add(newPost);
blog.Save(); 

这样还是不行地,在向数据库里面保存时,Post实际需要的是BlogId,而此时Blog还没有Id

上面的代码都使用了Blog端的关联,也可以象下面这样使用:

Blog blog = Blog.Find(1);
Post newPost 
= new Post();
newPost.PostTitle 
= "MyPostTitle";
newPost.PostPublished 
= true;
newPost.PostContents 
= "This is a great post!";
newPost.PostCategory 
= "Blogging";
newPost.PostCreated 
= DateTime.Now;
newPost.Blog 
= blog;
newPost.Blog 
= blog; // Linking them
newPost.Save();

处理blog的时候,Posts不会自动地得到通知。如果想应用最新的改变,也好就是说要想使用新实例化的post,必须“刷新”它。我们可以通过设置级联变化来使用它:

[HasMany(typeof(Post), Table="Posts", ColumnKey="post_blogid", Cascade=ManyRelationCascadeEnum.SaveUpdate)]
public IList Posts
{
    
get return _posts; }
    
set { _posts = value; }
}

这样的开头那段代码就能运行了:

Blog blog = Blog.Find(1);
newPost.PostTitle 
= "MyPostTitle";
newPost.PostPublished 
= true;
newPost.PostContents 
= "This is a great post!";
newPost.PostCategory 
= "Blogging";
newPost.PostCreated 
= DateTime.Now;
blog.Posts.Add(newPost );
blog.Save(); 

怎么样,一定有点晕了吧,不要紧,下一节我们将讲解一下HasManyAttributeBelongsToAttribute
