All Superinterfaces:

InvocableMap.Entry, java.util.Map.Entry, QueryMap.Entry

Enclosing interface:

MapTrigger

public static interface MapTrigger.Entry
extends InvocableMap.Entry

A MapTrigger Entry represents a pending change to an Entry that is about to committed to the underlying Map. The methods inherited from InvocableMap.Entry provide both the pending state and the ability to alter that state. The original state of the Entry can be obtained using the getOriginalValue() and isOriginalPresent() methods.

Method Summary

java.lang.Object	getOriginalValue() Determine the value that existed before the start of the mutating operation that is being evaluated by the trigger.
boolean	isOriginalPresent() Determine whether or not the Entry existed before the start of the mutating operation that is being evaluated by the trigger.
