Returns

• This function returns VirtualEntityService

Arguments

Examples

userService = ormService.createService("User");
userService = ormService.createService("User",true);
userService = ormService.createService("User",true,"MyFunkyUserCache");

// Remember you can use virtual entity services by autowiring them in via our DSL
component{
  property name="userService" inject="entityService:User";
  property name="postService" inject="entityService:Post";    
}

This method allows you to cast the identifier value to the appropriate type in Java. The entity argument can be the entity name or an entity object. Please note that this is ONLY used for identifier casting not for any property!

Returns

• This function returns the value casted to the right Java type

Arguments

Examples

This method gives you the ability to fluently create chains of executions by evaluating the incoming target as a boolean. If true it will execute the success closure, else the failure closure if passed.

Returns

• The ORM Service so you can do concatenated calls

Arguments

Examples

baseService
.when( 
    !isNull( rc.createdDate ), 
    ( service ) => service.autoCast( "User", "createdDate", rc.createdDate )
)
.when(
    rc.search.len(),
    ( service ) => service.like( "name", rc.search ),
    ( service ) => service.isTrue( "search" )
)
