ORM persistent attribute Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Method Detail

getMapping

OrmAttributeMapping getMapping()

Description copied from interface: PersistentAttribute

Return the attribute's "specified" mapping, or if it is null return the "default" mapping. WIll not return null.

Specified by:

getMapping in interface PersistentAttribute

getSpecifiedMapping

OrmAttributeMapping getSpecifiedMapping()

Description copied from interface: PersistentAttribute

Return the attribute's "specified" mapping, could be null

Specified by:

getSpecifiedMapping in interface PersistentAttribute

getTypeMapping

OrmTypeMapping getTypeMapping()

Specified by:

getTypeMapping in interface PersistentAttribute

getPersistentType

OrmPersistentType getPersistentType()

Specified by:

getPersistentType in interface PersistentAttribute

getJavaPersistentAttribute

JavaPersistentAttribute getJavaPersistentAttribute()

makeVirtual

void makeVirtual()

Make the persistent attribute virtual. The attribute will be removed from the list of specified persistent attributes on the OrmPersistentType and removed from the orm.xml file. If the persistent attribute is already virtual, an IllegalStateException is thrown

See Also:

PersistentAttribute.isVirtual()

makeSpecified

void makeSpecified()

Take a virtual persistent attribute and specify it. The attribute will be added to the list of specified persistent attributes and added to the orm.xml file. The mappingKey will remain the same. If the persistent attribute is already specified, an IllegalStateException is thrown

See Also:

PersistentAttribute.isVirtual()

makeSpecified

void makeSpecified(java.lang.String mappingKey)

Take a virtual persistent attribute and specify it. The attribute will be added to the list of specified persistent attributes and added to the orm.xml file. The mappingKey will determine the type of mapping added instead of the mappingKey already on the persistent attribute If the persistent attribute is already specified, an IllegalStateException is thrown

See Also:

PersistentAttribute.isVirtual()

contains

boolean contains(int textOffset)

nameChanged

void nameChanged(java.lang.String oldName,
                 java.lang.String newName)

update

void update()

Update the OrmPersistentAttribute context model object to match the resource model object. see JpaProject.update()
