findAnObj

public static Persistable findAnObj(Class aClass,
                                    String attrName,
                                    String attrValue,
                                    WTContainerRef containerRef,
                                    boolean latest)

Find an object. If latest is true, the object is treated as Iterated, in this case , attrName, containerRef, latest should be unique. Otherwise the object is treated as non-Iterated,attrName, containerRef should be unique. Note:If the given containerRef is not null, queries base on the following hierarchy 1. Current container , eg. PDMLinkProduct 2. Organization container , ie. OrgContainer 3. Site container, ie. ExchangeContainer For example, to find 'part1'. query looks up current container (eg. PDMLinkProduct) if not found , looks up organization , if not found in org container looks up Site container. Otherwise , the query is not container aware.

Parameters:

aClass - Mapped to the database table being queried

attrName - The attribute name as an identity of the object

attrValue - The value for that identity

containerRef -

latest -

                             throws WTException

Find an iterated object. If the given version and iteration are null , return the latest object. Note:If the given containerRef is not null, queries base on the following hierarchy 1. Current container , eg. PDMLinkProduct 2. Organization container , ie. OrgContainer 3. Site container, ie. ExchangeContainer For example, to find 'part1'. query looks up current container (eg. PDMLinkProduct) if not found , looks up organization , if not found in org container looks up Site container. Otherwise , the query is not container aware.

Parameters:

aClass - Mapped to the database table being queried

attrName - The attribute name as an identity of the object

attrValue - The value for that identity

version - The version ,eg. A, B ...

iteration - The iteration eg. 1, 2 ...

containerRef - The container where the object resided directly , means not the parent container.

Throws:

WTException
