Note that:
- Objects and links are detected via parametrization and when parametization is not enough we parse the Java caller object or even the entire Java file:
- com.mongodb.MongoClient.MongoClient is mapped as a MongoDB connection
- com.mongodb.Mongo.getDB to MongoDB databases
- com.mongodb.DB.getCollection to MongoDB collections, .update, .updateMulti, .findAndModify and .save methods are mapped as useUpdateLinks.
- For MongoDB we resolve Jongo queries, via parametrization and also:
- org.jongo.Jongo.Jongo is mapped as a MongoDB connection
- org.jongo.Jongo.getCollection to a MongoDB collection
Links
Links are created for transaction and function point needs.
MongoDB
| Link type | When is this created? |
|---|---|
| parentLink | The connection is the parent of database which is the parent of a collection. Connection's parent is the caller's project. |
| useLink | Between the caller Java objects and connections, databases or collections. |
useSelectLink useUpdateLink useDeleteLink useInsertLink | Between the caller Java object and a database or a collection. |
MarkLogic
| Link type | When is this created? |
|---|---|
| parentLink | The database is the parent of a collection. Database's parent is the caller's project. |
| useLink | Between the caller Java objects and a database or a collection. |
useSelectLink useUpdateLink useDeleteLink useInsertLink | Between the caller Java object and a database or a collection. |
Couchbase
| Link type | When is this created? |
|---|---|
| parentLink | The connection is the parent of database which is the parent of a collection. Connection's parent is the caller's project. |
| useLink | Between the caller Java objects and connections, databases or collections. |
useSelectLink useUpdateLink useDeleteLink useInsertLink | Between the caller Java object and a database or a collection. |
