## org.biojavax.bio.db.biosql
Class BioSQLRichObjectBuilder

    java.lang.Object
      org.biojavax.bio.db.biosql.BioSQLRichObjectBuilder

All Implemented Interfaces:
  RichObjectBuilder

    public class BioSQLRichObjectBuilder

extends Object
implements RichObjectBuilder

Takes requests for RichObjects and sees if it can load them from a Hibernate database. If it can, it returns the loaded objects. Else, it creates them and persists them, then returns them. Doesn't retain a memory map so runs a lot of Hibernate queries if used frequently, but on the plus side this makes it memory-efficient.

Since:
  1.5

Method Summary
`Object` | `buildObject(Class clazz, List paramsList)` This method takes a class name and some parameters, and uses that information to construct and return an equivalent object, usually by calling the constructor on the class with the supplied parameters. Attempts to look up the details of the object in the database.

Method Detail

### buildObject

    public Object buildObject(Class clazz,
                              List paramsList)

  This method takes a class name and some parameters, and uses that information to construct and return an equivalent object, usually by calling the constructor on the class with the supplied parameters. Note that it only works with classes whose constructors take only Objects, and not primitives. It should return singletons. Attempts to look up the details of the object in the database. If it finds them it loads the object and returns it. Else, it persists the wrapper object it made to do the search with and returns that.

  Specified by:
    `buildObject` in interface `RichObjectBuilder`
  Parameters:
    `clazz` - the class to instantiate and build
    `paramsList` - the parameters to pass to the constructor
  Returns:
    an instance of the requested class/params combination. May or may not be a singleton, but usually will be given as that is the purpose of this class.
