Methods (Including Private)
Inherited description: This method is normally generated by the storage class for persistent classes using
%Library.CacheStorage or %Library.CacheSQLStorage. Persistent
classes using some other storage class, such as %Library.CustomStorage must override this
method.
Inherited description: %LoadData() - loads an object from storage. This method is
implemented by the storage class.
Inherited description: This callback method is invoked by the %New() method to
provide notification that a new instance of an object is being created.
If this method returns an error then the object will not be created.
It is passed the arguments provided in the %New call. When customizing this method, override the arguments with whatever variables and types you expect to receive from %New(). For example, if you're going to call %New, passing 2 arguments, %OnNew's signature could be:
Method %OnNew(dob as %Date = "", name as %Name = "") as %Status If instead of returning a %Status code this returns an oref and this oref is a subclass of the current class then this oref will be the one returned to the caller of %New method.
private method %OnValidateObject() as %Status
Inherited description: This callback method is invoked by the %ValidateObject() method to
provide notification that the current object is being validated.
If this method returns an error then %ValidateObject() will fail.
Inherited description: %SaveData() - saves an object to disk, checks uniqueness and referential
integrity constraints, and maintains index structures. This method is
implemented by the storage class.
