It is used by EntityEngine to run queries that return Domain objects instead of GenericValues.

  • Method Details

    • buildList

      List<E> buildList(Collection<org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue> gvList)
      Builds a list of instances from a list of GenericValues.

      This method is included in the interface so that the no-op implementation can take a performance shortcut and simply return the given list.

      If a null list is input, then a null list will be output.

      Parameters:
      gvList - List of GenericValues
      Returns:
      List of objects.

    • fieldMapFrom

      Map<String,Object> fieldMapFrom(E value)
      Builds a FieldMap from an entity Object. The FieldMap is the data held by a GenericValue, so this basically is the reverse operation of turning an object into a GenericValue.
      Parameters:
      value - the Entity value
      Returns:
      Map of field values
