utilities - pojo

The pojo module provides all basic functions for interacting with pojos

Basic POJO Functions

Function	Parameters	Return Value	Description
create_pojo`(entity_name, attributes=None, set_object_protection=True, _generate_auto_numbers=True)`	entity_name: Entitätsbezeichnung attributes: Optional attributes that will be passed to `set_pojo_attributes` set_object_protection: When `True` the object protection fields are set automatically. _generate_auto_numbers: When `True`, all autonumber fields get a generated autonumber	A pojo	Create a new POJO with the given entity name
get_pojo_by_uuid`(entity_name, uuid)`	entity_name: Entitätsbezeichnung uuid: The UUID of the POJO	A POJO or None	Gets a POJO via UUID
save_pojo`(pojo)`	pojo: A pojo	`True` if the pojo could be saved	Throws a PojoSaveFailedException when saving fails
delete_pojo`(pojo)`	pojo: A pojo	`True` if the pojo could be deleted	Throws a PojoDeleteFailedException when deletion fails

Helper Functions

Function	Parameters	Return Value	Description
set_pojo_attributes`(pojo, attributes, set_object_protection=True)`	pojo: A pojo attributes: A dictionary of `{python_id: value}` set_object_protection: When `True`, the object protection fields are updated automatically		Sets the attributes of a pojo. See below for detailed description.
is_valid_date`(pojo_attribute_date)`	pojo_attribute_date: A date read from a pojo	`True` or `False`	Checks whether a date is valid, eg. not 01.01.1970
generate_auto_numbers`(pojo)`	pojo: A pojo		Generates the autonumbers for a pojo

set_pojo_attributes

set_pojo_attributes makes setting values on a pojo easier by handling some of the tedious work for you:

The function expects python ids and will automatically convert the python id to the correct attribute name
Values are converted according to the column type of the attribute:

Column Type	Accepted types
UUID	`uuid.UUID` objects or a string as expected by `java.util.UUID.fromString`
Alpha / Alpha, E-Mail / Alpha, gross / Alpha, Telefonnummer / Clob	Everything that can be converted to text
Ja/Nein	Everything that can be converted to bool
Datum	`datetime.datetime` objects or a string in the format `dd.mm.YYYY`
Uhrzeit	`datetime.datetime` objects or a string in the format `HH:MM`
Zahl ohne NK, bis 4/9 Stellen	Everything that can be converted to int. Strings like `'5.32'` as well as `'5,32'` are both accepted
Currency / Zahl mit NK	Everything that can be converted to float. Strings like `'5.32'` as well as `'5,32'` are both accepted

Examples

Creating a project and setting the pr_manager

PY

from customizing import utilities

pojo = utilities.create_pojo(entity_name='Project')

attributes = {'pr_manager': 'R41'}
utilities.set_attributes(pojo=pojo, attributes=attributes)
utilities.save_pojo(pojo=pojo)
