Interface QueryIterator<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of entity bean in the iteration

All Superinterfaces:

Closeable, Iterator<T>

public interface QueryIterator<T>
extends Iterator<T>, Closeable

Used to provide iteration over query results.

This can be used when you want to process a very large number of results and means that you don't have to hold all the results in memory at once (unlike findList(), findSet() etc where all the beans are held in the List or Set etc).

 
 Query<Customer> query = server.find(Customer.class)
  .fetch("contacts", new FetchConfig().query(2))
  .where().gt("id", 0)
  .orderBy("id")
  .setMaxRows(2);
 
 QueryIterator<Customer> it = query.findIterate();
 try {
     while (it.hasNext()) {
         Customer customer = it.next();
         // do something with customer... 
     }
 } finally {
     // close the associated resources
     it.close();
 }
