+ PersistenceBroker.insert (Object obj)

[Andy Malakov]

Guys,


Right now, when I call PersistenceBroker.store() it does extra DB lookup to determine 
if object is new or not. 

... from PersistenceBrokerImpl.store (Object obj) ver.1.0RC4 ...

            // check if update or insert is needed
            boolean doInsert = false;
            // lookup cache or db to see whether object needs insert or update
            if (objectCache.lookup(oid) == null 
                    && dbAccess.materializeObject(cld, oid) == null)
            {
                doInsert = true;
                // now store it:
            }
            store(obj, oid, cld, doInsert);


Is it possible to provide separate method in PersistenceBroker interface for inserting 
new objects and another method (save()   :-)  for updating existing ones?

A better way of doing this might be adding a method to class Identity that checks for 
not-null/not-zero primary keys in given object.

Thanks,
Andy
