Method Detail

• public PersistentProperty[] getCompositeIdentity(java.lang.Class javaClass, MappingContext context)

  Obtains the identity of a persistent entity

  Parameters:

  javaClass - The Java class

  context - The MappingContext

  Returns:

  A PersistentProperty instance

• public IdentityMapping getDefaultIdentityMapping(ClassMapping classMapping)

  Obtains the default manner in which identifiers are mapped. In GORM this is just using a property called 'id', but in other frameworks this may differ. For example JPA expects an annotated

  Id:

  property

  Returns:

  The default identifier mapping

  Parameters:

  classMapping - The ClassMapping instance

• public PersistentProperty getIdentity(java.lang.Class javaClass, MappingContext context)

  Obtains the identity of a persistent entity

  Parameters:

  javaClass - The Java class

  context - The MappingContext

  Returns:

  A PersistentProperty instance

• public IdentityMapping getIdentityMapping(ClassMapping classMapping)

  Obtains the identity mapping for the specified class mapping

  Parameters:

  classMapping - The class mapping

  Returns:

  The identity mapping

• public java.util.Set getOwningEntities(java.lang.Class javaClass, MappingContext context)

  Returns a set of entities that "own" the given entity. Ownership dictates default cascade strategies. So if entity A owns entity B then saves, updates and deletes will cascade from A to B

  Parameters:

  javaClass - The Java class

  context - The MappingContext

  Returns:

  A Set of owning classes

• public java.util.List<PersistentProperty> getPersistentProperties(java.lang.Class javaClass, MappingContext context)

  See Also:

  getPersistentProperties(Class, MappingContext, ClassMapping)

• public java.util.List<PersistentProperty> getPersistentProperties(PersistentEntity entity, MappingContext context, ClassMapping classMapping)

  See Also:

  getPersistentProperties(Class, MappingContext, ClassMapping)

• public java.util.List<PersistentProperty> getPersistentProperties(PersistentEntity entity, MappingContext context, ClassMapping classMapping, boolean includeIdentifiers)

  See Also:

  getPersistentProperties(Class, MappingContext, ClassMapping)

• public java.util.List<PersistentProperty> getPersistentProperties(java.lang.Class javaClass, MappingContext context, ClassMapping mapping)

  Obtains a List of PersistentProperty instances for the given Mapped class

  Parameters:

  javaClass - The Java class

  context - The MappingContext instance

  mapping - The mapping for this class

  Returns:

  The PersistentProperty instances

• public boolean isPersistentEntity(java.lang.Class javaClass)

  Tests whether the given class is a persistent entity

  Parameters:

  javaClass - The java class

  Returns:

  true if it is a persistent entity

• public void setCanExpandMappingContext(boolean canExpandMappingContext)

  Whether the strategy can add new entities to the mapping context
