Interface JoinTable

All Superinterfaces:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdaptable, IResourcePart, JpaContextNode, JpaNode, Model, ReadOnlyJoinTable, ReadOnlyReferenceTable, ReadOnlyTable, ReferenceTable, Table
All Known Subinterfaces:
JavaJoinTable, OrmJoinTable

public interface JoinTable
extends ReferenceTable, ReadOnlyJoinTable

Used by many-to-many and one-to-many mappings.

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:
2.0
Version:
2.3

Method Detail

getParent

JoinTableRelationshipStrategy getParent()
Description copied from interface: JpaNode
Return the JPA node's parent. The JPA project will not have a parent.

Specified by:
getParent in interface JpaNode
Specified by:
getParent in interface ReadOnlyJoinTable

initializeFrom

void initializeFrom(ReadOnlyJoinTable oldJoinTable)

initializeFromVirtual

void initializeFromVirtual(ReadOnlyJoinTable virtualJoinTable)

convertDefaultToSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn

void convertDefaultToSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn()
Convert the join table's default inverse join column to a specified inverse join column.


inverseJoinColumns

java.util.ListIterator<? extends JoinColumn> inverseJoinColumns()
Description copied from interface: ReadOnlyJoinTable
Return the join table's inverse join columns, whether specified or default.

Specified by:
inverseJoinColumns in interface ReadOnlyJoinTable

specifiedInverseJoinColumns

java.util.ListIterator<? extends JoinColumn> specifiedInverseJoinColumns()
Description copied from interface: ReadOnlyJoinTable
Return the specified inverse join columns.

Specified by:
specifiedInverseJoinColumns in interface ReadOnlyJoinTable

getSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn

JoinColumn getSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn(int index)
Description copied from interface: ReadOnlyJoinTable
Return the specified inverse join column at the specified index.

Specified by:
getSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn in interface ReadOnlyJoinTable

addSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn

JoinColumn addSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn()
Add a specified inverse join column to the join table. Return the newly-created join column.


addSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn

JoinColumn addSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn(int index)
Add a specified inverse join column to the join table. Return the newly-created join column.


removeSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn

void removeSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn(int index)
Remove the inverse join column at the specified index from the join table.


removeSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn

void removeSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn(JoinColumn joinColumn)
Remove the specified inverse join column from the join table.


moveSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn

void moveSpecifiedInverseJoinColumn(int targetIndex,
                                    int sourceIndex)
Move an inverse join column from the specified source index to the specified target index.


clearSpecifiedInverseJoinColumns

void clearSpecifiedInverseJoinColumns()
Remove all the join table's inverse join columns.


getDefaultInverseJoinColumn

JoinColumn getDefaultInverseJoinColumn()
Description copied from interface: ReadOnlyJoinTable
Return the default inverse join column or null. A default inverse join column only exists if there are no specified inverse join columns.

Specified by:
getDefaultInverseJoinColumn in interface ReadOnlyJoinTable
