JDO/JPA Persistence with Google App Engine
December 24th, 2009
I ran across Max Ross’ blog today (he’s a App Engine Engineer working on persistence) and was surprised to find a wealth of articles, code and tips on persistence using JDO and JPA on Google App Engine.
Creating A Bidrectional Owned One-To-Many – Code and demo of an owned, bidirectional, one-to-many relationship showing how you can can persist child objects simply by associating them with their parent objects
Executing Batch Gets – Use batch gets to “super-efficiently” querying for objects using filters on the primary key property.
Updating A Bidrectional Owned One-To-Many With A New Child – Using “transparent persistent” to modify the persistent state of an object without explicit persistence calls to repersist it.
Keys Only Queries – Speeding up queries using a keys-only query.
Serialized Fields – Store any class that implements Serializable in a single property.
Optimistic Locking With @Version – Using optimistic locking with long-running transactions to prevent users from updating stale data.
Unindexed Properties – Speed up datastore write operations while reducing CPU time.
Case Insensitive Queries – Performing case-insensitive queries.
Queries with != and IN filters – Examination of the new support for != and IN query operators in the new SDK release.
