Interface EclipseLinkConverter

All Superinterfaces:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdaptable, IResourcePart, JpaContextNode, JpaNode, Model

All Known Subinterfaces:

EclipseLinkCustomConverter, EclipseLinkObjectTypeConverter, EclipseLinkStructConverter, EclipseLinkTypeConverter

public interface EclipseLinkConverter
extends JpaContextNode

Corresponds to a *CustomConverter resource model object 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.

Since:

2.1

Version:

overrides

boolean overrides(EclipseLinkConverter converter)

Return whether the converter definition overrides the definition of the given converter (e.g. a converter defined in orm.xml overrides one defined in java).

duplicates

boolean duplicates(EclipseLinkConverter converter)
