## Interface JdoDialect

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    DefaultJdoDialect

      public interface JdoDialect

  SPI strategy that allows for customizing integration with a specific JDO provider, in particular regarding transaction management and exception translation. To be implemented for specific JDO providers such as JPOX, Kodo, Lido, Versant Open Access.

  JDO 2.0 defines standard ways for most of the functionality covered here. Hence, Spring's `DefaultJdoDialect` uses the corresponding JDO 2.0 methods by default, to be overridden in a vendor-specific fashion if necessary. Vendor-specific subclasses of `DefaultJdoDialect` are still required for special transaction semantics and more sophisticated exception translation (if needed).

  In general, it is recommended to derive from `DefaultJdoDialect` instead of implementing this interface directly. This allows for inheriting common behavior (present and future) from `DefaultJdoDialect`, only overriding specific hooks to plug in concrete vendor-specific behavior.

    - #### beginTransaction

          Object beginTransaction(javax.jdo.Transaction transaction,
                                TransactionDefinition definition)
                                  throws javax.jdo.JDOException,
                                         SQLException,
                                         TransactionException

      Begin the given JDO transaction, applying the semantics specified by the given Spring transaction definition (in particular, an isolation level and a timeout). Invoked by JdoTransactionManager on transaction begin.

      An implementation can configure the JDO Transaction object and then invoke `begin`, or invoke a special begin method that takes, for example, an isolation level.

      An implementation can also apply read-only flag and isolation level to the underlying JDBC Connection before beginning the transaction. In that case, a transaction data object can be returned that holds the previous isolation level (and possibly other data), to be reset in `cleanupTransaction`.

      Implementations can also use the Spring transaction name, as exposed by the passed-in TransactionDefinition, to optimize for specific data access use cases (effectively using the current transaction name as use case identifier).

      Parameters:
        `transaction` - the JDO transaction to begin
        `definition` - the Spring transaction definition that defines semantics
      Returns:
        an arbitrary object that holds transaction data, if any (to be passed into cleanupTransaction)
      Throws:
        `javax.jdo.JDOException` - if thrown by JDO methods
        `SQLException` - if thrown by JDBC methods
        `TransactionException` - in case of invalid arguments
      See Also:
        `cleanupTransaction(java.lang.Object)`, `Transaction.begin()`, `DataSourceUtils.prepareConnectionForTransaction(java.sql.Connection, org.springframework.transaction.TransactionDefinition)`

    - #### cleanupTransaction

          void cleanupTransaction(Object transactionData)

      Clean up the transaction via the given transaction data. Invoked by JdoTransactionManager on transaction cleanup.

      An implementation can, for example, reset read-only flag and isolation level of the underlying JDBC Connection. Furthermore, an exposed data access use case can be reset here.

      Parameters:
        `transactionData` - arbitrary object that holds transaction data, if any (as returned by beginTransaction)
      See Also:
        `beginTransaction(javax.jdo.Transaction, org.springframework.transaction.TransactionDefinition)`, `DataSourceUtils.resetConnectionAfterTransaction(java.sql.Connection, java.lang.Integer)`

    - #### getJdbcConnection

          ConnectionHandle getJdbcConnection(javax.jdo.PersistenceManager pm,
                                           boolean readOnly)
                                             throws javax.jdo.JDOException,
                                                    SQLException

      Retrieve the JDBC Connection that the given JDO PersistenceManager uses underneath, if accessing a relational database. This method will just get invoked if actually needing access to the underlying JDBC Connection, usually within an active JDO transaction (for example, by JdoTransactionManager). The returned handle will be passed into the `releaseJdbcConnection` method when not needed anymore.

      Implementations are encouraged to return an unwrapped Connection object, i.e. the Connection as they got it from the connection pool. This makes it easier for application code to get at the underlying native JDBC Connection, like an OracleConnection, which is sometimes necessary for LOB handling etc. We assume that calling code knows how to properly handle the returned Connection object.

      In a simple case where the returned Connection will be auto-closed with the PersistenceManager or can be released via the Connection object itself, an implementation can return a SimpleConnectionHandle that just contains the Connection. If some other object is needed in `releaseJdbcConnection`, an implementation should use a special handle that references that other object.

      Parameters:
        `pm` - the current JDO PersistenceManager
        `readOnly` - whether the Connection is only needed for read-only purposes
      Returns:
        a handle for the JDBC Connection, to be passed into `releaseJdbcConnection`, or `null` if no JDBC Connection can be retrieved
      Throws:
        `javax.jdo.JDOException` - if thrown by JDO methods
        `SQLException` - if thrown by JDBC methods
      See Also:
        `releaseJdbcConnection(org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.ConnectionHandle, javax.jdo.PersistenceManager)`, `ConnectionHandle.getConnection()`, `SimpleConnectionHandle`, `JdoTransactionManager.setDataSource(javax.sql.DataSource)`, `NativeJdbcExtractor`

    - #### releaseJdbcConnection

          void releaseJdbcConnection(ConnectionHandle conHandle,
                                   javax.jdo.PersistenceManager pm)
                                     throws javax.jdo.JDOException,
                                            SQLException

      Release the given JDBC Connection, which has originally been retrieved via `getJdbcConnection`. This should be invoked in any case, to allow for proper release of the retrieved Connection handle.

      An implementation might simply do nothing, if the Connection returned by `getJdbcConnection` will be implicitly closed when the JDO transaction completes or when the PersistenceManager is closed.

      Parameters:
        `conHandle` - the JDBC Connection handle to release
        `pm` - the current JDO PersistenceManager
      Throws:
        `javax.jdo.JDOException` - if thrown by JDO methods
        `SQLException` - if thrown by JDBC methods
      See Also:
        `getJdbcConnection(javax.jdo.PersistenceManager, boolean)`

    - #### applyQueryTimeout

          void applyQueryTimeout(javax.jdo.Query query,
                               int timeout)
                                 throws javax.jdo.JDOException

      Apply the given timeout to the given JDO query object.

      Invoked with the remaining time of a specified transaction timeout, if any.

      Parameters:
        `query` - the JDO query object to apply the timeout to
        `timeout` - the timeout value (seconds) to apply
      Throws:
        `javax.jdo.JDOException` - if thrown by JDO methods
      See Also:
        `JdoTemplate.prepareQuery(javax.jdo.Query)`

    - #### translateException

          DataAccessException translateException(javax.jdo.JDOException ex)

      Translate the given JDOException to a corresponding exception from Spring's generic DataAccessException hierarchy. An implementation should apply PersistenceManagerFactoryUtils' standard exception translation if can't do anything more specific.

      Of particular importance is the correct translation to DataIntegrityViolationException, for example on constraint violation. Unfortunately, standard JDO does not allow for portable detection of this.

      Can use a SQLExceptionTranslator for translating underlying SQLExceptions in a database-specific fashion.

      Parameters:
        `ex` - the JDOException thrown
      Returns:
        the corresponding DataAccessException (must not be `null`)
