public interface PersistentTypeContainer

Interface used by persistence unit to gather up persistent types.

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:

2.3

Method Detail

getPersistentTypes

java.lang.Iterable<? extends PersistentType> getPersistentTypes()

Return the container's persistent types. The returned list may contain multiple persistent types for the same Java class; e.g.

• the same type is specified in both the persistence.xml and orm.xml files
• the same type is specified multiple times in the same persistence.xml or orm.xml file
• the same type is in a jar file specified in the persistence.xml file and is specified in the persistence.xml file and/or an orm.xml file

getPersistentType

PersistentType getPersistentType(java.lang.String typeName)

Return the persistent type with the specified name. Return null if the persistent type is not found. If the persistent unit has more than one persistent type with the specified name, return the first one found, using the following search order:

• mapping files
• classes
• jar files
