Forwarding database


ForwardingDatabase is a mechanism to perform additional logic before executing a query against a database. One example is to create a forwarding database that prevents returning cached query results, as in the following snippet.

ForwardingDatabase noCacheDatabase = new ForwardingDatabase() {

    @Override
    protected <T> Query<T> filterQuery(Query<T> query) {
        return query.clone().noCache();
    }

};

You can then use the no-cache forwarding database by specifying it in Query#using:

Query.from(User.class).using(noCacheDatabase).selectAll();

Because this query specified noCacheDatabase, Dari invokes the filterQuery method before executing the query.

Both Dari and Brightspot use ForwardingDatabase for a variety of scenarios. Here are a few examples:
