因此,主题可以是“自引用”实体,即可以具有可选的父主题和可选的子主题集合。
主题可以嵌套到任何级别:TopicA> TopicA_1> Topic_A_1_1等。
通过在Topic中编写一个递归函数,我们可以走到树上,并在层次结构中任何级别的Topic上获取该主题及其所有子主题的问题。
话题:
Entity@Table(name = "topics")public class Topic{ @Id private Long id; @oneToMany(mappedBy = "parent") private Set<Topic> subTopics; @ManyToOne @JoinColumn(name = "parent_id") private Topic parent; @oneToMany(mappedBy = "topic") private Set<Question> questions; //questions for this exact topic public Set<Question> getQuestions(){ return questions; } //questions for this topic and all its sub-topics public Set<Question> getAllQuestions(){ return getAllQuestions(this); } //recursive function to walk the topic tree and get all questions for each sub-topic private Set<Question> getAllQuestions(Topic topic){ Set<Question> questions = new HashSet<>(topic.getQuestions()); for(Topic subTopic : topic.getSubTopics()){ questions.addAll(getAllQuestions(subTopic)); ) return questions; }}题:
@Entity@Table(name = "questions")public class Question { @ManyToOne @JoinColumn(name = "topic_id") private Topic topic;}因此,通过引用某个主题,我可以只获取其直接问题,也可以获取其所有问题以及所有子主题(及其所有子主题.....)的问题。
Topic topic = topicRepository.findOne(someId);//only questions directly linked to this topicSet<Question> questions = topic.getQuestions();//all questions linked to this topic and its sub-topics to *n* levels.Set<Question> questions = topic.getAllQuestions();
