public interface AttributeMapping
extends JpaContextNode

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 Summary

java.lang.String	getKey() Return a unique key for the IPersistentAttributeMapping.
java.lang.String	getName()
PersistentAttribute	getPersistentAttribute()
java.lang.String	getPrimaryKeyColumnName() If the mapping is for a primary key column, return the column's name, otherwise return null.
TypeMapping	getTypeMapping() Return the mapping for the attribute mapping's attribute's type.
boolean	isDefault()
boolean	isIdMapping() Return whether the "attribute" mapping is for an ID.
boolean	isOverridableAssociationMapping() Return whether the "association" mapping can be overridden.
boolean	isOverridableAttributeMapping() Return whether the "attribute" mapping can be overridden.
boolean	isOwnedBy(RelationshipMapping mapping) Return whether the given mapping manages a relationship with this mapping
boolean	shouldValidateAgainstDatabase() Return whether any database metadata specific validation should occur.

Method Detail

getPersistentAttribute

PersistentAttribute getPersistentAttribute()

getName

java.lang.String getName()

isDefault

boolean isDefault()

getKey

java.lang.String getKey()

Return a unique key for the IPersistentAttributeMapping. If this is defined in an extension they should be equal.

isOverridableAttributeMapping

boolean isOverridableAttributeMapping()

Return whether the "attribute" mapping can be overridden.

isOverridableAssociationMapping

boolean isOverridableAssociationMapping()

Return whether the "association" mapping can be overridden.

getTypeMapping

TypeMapping getTypeMapping()

Return the mapping for the attribute mapping's attribute's type.

isIdMapping

boolean isIdMapping()

Return whether the "attribute" mapping is for an ID.

getPrimaryKeyColumnName

java.lang.String getPrimaryKeyColumnName()

If the mapping is for a primary key column, return the column's name, otherwise return null.

isOwnedBy

boolean isOwnedBy(RelationshipMapping mapping)

Return whether the given mapping manages a relationship with this mapping

shouldValidateAgainstDatabase

boolean shouldValidateAgainstDatabase()

Return whether any database metadata specific validation should occur. (For instance, if the connection is not active, then it should not.)
