Zakaria El OrcheandClaude Opus 5 c5179146c0 docs(data): write the data-layer docs in English
The three data modules' docs were in Italian, so the synchronization contract
added in the previous commit went in as Italian too, to match its file. English
is the project's language for docs, comments and READMEs alike, and a file half
in each is worse than either — so all three are translated, not just the new
section.

Content is otherwise unchanged, except the "synchronizations run on
commit/rollback" line in the two backend READMEs, which was vague before and is
now accurate about which hook sees the session/connection still bound, pointing
at flash-ext-data-core's README for the full contract.

# flash-ext-data-jdbc
JDBC backend for `flash-ext-data-core`.
## Purpose
This module implements `TxManager` on top of a `DataSource` and provides a raw-SQL repository base
class.
## How to use it
### 1. Create the manager
```java
DataSource dataSource = ...;
JdbcTxManager txManager = new JdbcTxManager(dataSource);
DataExtension extension = new DataExtension(txManager);
```
### 2. Install the extension in Flash
As with Hibernate, `DataExtension` registers `Tx` in the `FlashContext` and enables
`@Transactional` on class-based handlers.
### 3. Define a repository
```java
public final class UserRepository extends JdbcRepository<User, Long> {
public UserRepository(Tx tx) {
super(tx, "users", "id");
}
@Override
protected User mapRow(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException {
return new User(rs.getLong("id"), rs.getString("name"));
}
}
```
Here too you can expose reusable `Spec`s and compose queries from the service layer:
```java
public final class UserRepository extends JdbcRepository<User, Long> {
public static final SpecBuilder.FieldSpec<User, String> EMAIL = SpecBuilder.field("email");
public UserRepository(Tx tx) {
super(tx, "users", "id");
}
}
```
Saving and updating need an explicit binding:
```java
@Override
protected String insertSql() {
return "insert into users(name) values(?)";
}
@Override
protected void bindInsert(PreparedStatement ps, User entity) throws SQLException {
ps.setString(1, entity.name());
}
```
## How it works underneath
- The current transaction exposes a `Connection`.
- `Tx.resource(Connection.class)` retrieves the connection bound to the thread.
- `REQUIRES_NEW` suspends the active connection and opens a new one.
- `NOT_SUPPORTED` suspends the context and continues without a transaction.
## Repository base class
`JdbcRepository` provides:
- `select` queries through `queryOne`, `queryMany`
- mutations through `mutate`
- persistence through `doSave`, `doUpdate`
- paging through `doFindPage`
- bulk `deleteAll(Spec<T>)`
- raw helpers `queryOne(...)`, `queryMany(...)`, `mutate(...)`
Concrete repositories only have to translate between `ResultSet` and the domain.
## Transactional semantics
- `REQUIRED`: join, or open a new transaction.
- `REQUIRES_NEW`: suspend the current context.
- `SUPPORTS`: join if a transaction exists, otherwise no-op.
- `NOT_SUPPORTED`: suspend and continue without a transaction.
- `MANDATORY`: fail if there is no transaction.
## Notes
- The `Connection` is closed when a new transaction ends.
- Synchronizations registered in a transaction fire when *that* transaction completes:
`beforeCommit` while it is still active and the `Connection` still bound, the post-completion
hooks once it is unbound. See `flash-ext-data-core/docs/README.md` for the full contract.
- If a repository uses `doDelete(T)`, the default behaviour is unsupported: use `deleteById` or
override it.
