Method Details

find

ExperimentalFactor find(ExperimentalFactor experimentalFactor)

Description copied from interface: BaseDao

Does a look up for the given entity in the persistent storage, usually looking for a specific identifier ( either id or a string property).

Specified by:

find in interface BaseDao<ExperimentalFactor>

Parameters:

experimentalFactor - the entity to look for.

Returns:

an entity that was found in the persistent storage, or null if no such entity was found.

findOrCreate

ExperimentalFactor findOrCreate(ExperimentalFactor experimentalFactor)

Description copied from interface: BaseDao

Calls the find method, and if this method returns null, creates a new instance in the persistent storage.

Specified by:

findOrCreate in interface BaseDao<ExperimentalFactor>

Parameters:

experimentalFactor - the entity to look for and persist if not found.

Returns:

the given entity, guaranteed to be representing an entity present in the persistent storage.

thaw

ExperimentalFactor thaw(ExperimentalFactor ef)
