Dali Provisional API

org.eclipse.jpt.jpa.core.context.orm
Interface OrmConverter

All Superinterfaces:
Converter, IAdaptable, JpaContextModel, JpaModel, JptResourceTypeReference, Model
All Known Subinterfaces:
OrmBaseEnumeratedConverter, OrmBaseTemporalConverter, OrmLobConverter

public interface OrmConverter
extends Converter

orm.xml converter

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

Nested Class Summary
static interface OrmConverter.Adapter
          This interface allows a convertible mapping to interact with various orm.xml converters via the same protocol.
static interface OrmConverter.ParentAdapter
          Interface allowing converters to be used in multiple places (e.g. basic mappings, collection mappings, etc).

Method Detail

getParent

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

Specified by:
getParent in interface Converter
Specified by:
getParent in interface JpaContextModel
Specified by:
getParent in interface JpaModel

initialize

void initialize()
We need this "hack" because we can't build the resource converter before we build the context converter. There is no resource "converter", just a simple setting on the mapping. (Maybe "converter" is not the best way to model what is going on here....)
