Interface EclipseLinkConverter

All Superinterfaces:

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

All Known Subinterfaces:

EclipseLinkConverterClassConverter, EclipseLinkCustomConverter, EclipseLinkObjectTypeConverter, EclipseLinkStructConverter, EclipseLinkTypeConverter

public interface EclipseLinkConverter
extends JpaContextNode

EclipseLink converter:

• Type (EclipseLinkTypeConverter)
• Object Type (EclipseLinkObjectTypeConverter)
• Struct (EclipseLinkStructConverter)
• Custom (EclipseLinkCustomConverter)

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:

2.1

Method Detail

getType

java.lang.Class<? extends EclipseLinkConverter> getType()

Return the converter's type.

getName

java.lang.String getName()

setName

void setName(java.lang.String name)

getEnclosingTypeSeparator

char getEnclosingTypeSeparator()

overrides

boolean overrides(EclipseLinkConverter converter)

Return whether the converter "overrides" the specified converter (e.g. a converter defined in orm.xml overrides one defined in Java).

duplicates

boolean duplicates(EclipseLinkConverter converter)

Return whether the converter is a duplicate of the specified converter. A converter is not a duplicate of another converter if is the exact same converter, if it is a nameless converter (which is an error condition), or if it overrides or is overridden by the other converter.
