                throws PersistenceBrokerException

Description copied from interface: ManageableCollection

A callback method to implement 'removal-aware' (track removed objects and delete them by its own) collection implementations.

Specified by:

Parameters:

broker - The persistence broker

Throws:

returns an Iterator over all elements in the collection. Used during store and delete Operations. If the implementor does not return an iterator over ALL elements, OJB cannot store and delete all elements properly.

Specified by:

ojbIterator in interface ManageableCollection

Returns:

The iterator
