Java MongoDB Objektversionering

Sådan endte jeg med at implementere versionering for MongoDB-enheder. Tak til StackOverflow-fællesskabet for hjælpen!

• Der føres en ændringslog for hver enhed i en separat historiksamling.
• For at undgå at gemme en masse data gemmer historiesamlingen ikke komplette forekomster, men kun den første version og forskelle mellem versioner. (Du kan endda udelade den første version og rekonstruere versionerne "baglæns" fra den aktuelle version i entitetens hovedsamling.)
• Java Object Diff bruges til at generere objektdiff.
• For at kunne arbejde med samlinger korrekt, skal man implementere equals entiteternes metode, så den tester for databasens primærnøgle og ikke underegenskaberne. (Ellers genkender JavaObjectDiff ikke egenskabsændringer i samlingselementer.)

Her er de entiteter, jeg bruger til versionering (getters/settere osv. fjernet):

// This entity is stored once (1:1) per entity that is to be versioned
// in an own collection
public class MongoDiffHistoryEntry {
    /* history id */
    private String id;

    /* reference to original entity */
    private String objectId;

    /* copy of original entity (first version) */
    private Object originalObject;

    /* differences collection */
    private List<MongoDiffHistoryChange> differences;

    /* delete flag */
    private boolean deleted;
}

// changeset for a single version
public class MongoDiffHistoryChange {
    private Date historyDate;
    private List<MongoDiffHistoryChangeItem> items;
}

// a single property change
public class MongoDiffHistoryChangeItem {
    /* path to changed property (PropertyPath) */
    private String path;

    /* change state (NEW, CHANGED, REMOVED etc.) */
    private Node.State state;

    /* original value (empty for NEW) */
    private Object base;

    /* new value (empty for REMOVED) */
    private Object modified;
}

Her er handlingen saveChangeHistory:

private void saveChangeHistory(Object working, Object base) {
    assert working != null && base != null;
    assert working.getClass().equals(base.getClass());

    String baseId = ObjectUtil.getPrimaryKeyValue(base).toString();
    String workingId = ObjectUtil.getPrimaryKeyValue(working).toString();
    assert baseId != null && workingId != null && baseId.equals(workingId);

    MongoDiffHistoryEntry entry = getObjectHistory(base.getClass(), baseId);
    if (entry == null) {
        //throw new RuntimeException("history not found: " + base.getClass().getName() + "#" + baseId);
        logger.warn("history lost - create new base history record: {}#{}", base.getClass().getName(), baseId);
        saveNewHistory(base);
        saveHistory(working, base);
        return;
    }

    final MongoDiffHistoryChange change = new MongoDiffHistoryChange();
    change.setHistoryDate(new Date());
    change.setItems(new ArrayList<MongoDiffHistoryChangeItem>());

    ObjectDiffer differ = ObjectDifferFactory.getInstance();
    Node root = differ.compare(working, base);
    root.visit(new MongoDiffHistoryChangeVisitor(change, working, base));

    if (entry.getDifferences() == null)
        entry.setDifferences(new ArrayList<MongoDiffHistoryChange>());
    entry.getDifferences().add(change);

    mongoTemplate.save(entry, getHistoryCollectionName(working.getClass()));
}

Sådan ser det ud i MongoDB:

{
  "_id" : ObjectId("5040a9e73c75ad7e3590e538"),
  "_class" : "MongoDiffHistoryEntry",
  "objectId" : "5034c7a83c75c52dddcbd554",
  "originalObject" : {
      BLABLABLA, including sections collection etc.
  },
  "differences" : [{
      "historyDate" : ISODate("2012-08-31T12:11:19.667Z"),
      "items" : [{
          "path" : "/sections[[email protected]]",
          "state" : "ADDED",
          "modified" : {
            "_class" : "LetterSection",
            "_id" : ObjectId("5034c7a83c75c52dddcbd556"),
            "letterId" : "5034c7a83c75c52dddcbd554",
            "sectionIndex" : 2,
            "stringContent" : "BLABLA",
            "contentMimetype" : "text/plain",
            "sectionConfiguration" : "BLUBB"
          }
        }, {
          "path" : "/sections[[email protected]]",
          "state" : "REMOVED",
          "base" : {
            "_class" : "LetterSection",
            "_id" : ObjectId("5034c7a83c75c52dddcbd556"),
            "letterId" : "5034c7a83c75c52dddcbd554",
            "sectionIndex" : 2,
            "stringContent" : "BLABLABLA",
            "contentMimetype" : "text/plain",
            "sectionConfiguration" : "BLUBB"
          }
        }]
    }, {
      "historyDate" : ISODate("2012-08-31T13:15:32.574Z"),
      "items" : [{
          "path" : "/sections[[email protected]]/stringContent",
          "state" : "CHANGED",
          "base" : "blub5",
          "modified" : "blub6"
        }]
    },
    }],
  "deleted" : false
}

EDIT:Her er besøgskoden:

public class MongoDiffHistoryChangeVisitor implements Visitor {

private MongoDiffHistoryChange change;
private Object working;
private Object base;

public MongoDiffHistoryChangeVisitor(MongoDiffHistoryChange change, Object working, Object base) {
    this.change = change;
    this.working = working;
    this.base = base;
}

public void accept(Node node, Visit visit) {
    if (node.isRootNode() && !node.hasChanges() ||
        node.hasChanges() && node.getChildren().isEmpty()) {
        MongoDiffHistoryChangeItem diffItem = new MongoDiffHistoryChangeItem();
        diffItem.setPath(node.getPropertyPath().toString());
        diffItem.setState(node.getState());

        if (node.getState() != State.UNTOUCHED) {
            diffItem.setBase(node.canonicalGet(base));
            diffItem.setModified(node.canonicalGet(working));
        }

        if (change.getItems() == null)
            change.setItems(new ArrayList<MongoDiffHistoryChangeItem>());
        change.getItems().add(diffItem);
    }
}

}
