Interface Generator

All Superinterfaces:

IAdaptable, JpaContextModel, JpaModel, JpaNamedContextModel, JptResourceTypeReference, Model

All Known Subinterfaces:

DatabaseGenerator, EclipseLinkJavaUuidGenerator, EclipseLinkOrmUuidGenerator, EclipseLinkUuidGenerator, JavaDatabaseGenerator, JavaGenerator, JavaSequenceGenerator, JavaSequenceGenerator2_0, JavaTableGenerator, OrmGenerator, OrmSequenceGenerator, OrmSequenceGenerator2_0, OrmTableGenerator, SequenceGenerator, SequenceGenerator2_0, TableGenerator

public interface Generator
extends JpaNamedContextModel

Named generators, typically sequence and table generators

Generators can be defined on

• Java and orm.xml entities
• Java and orm.xml ID mappings
• orm.xml entity mappings elements

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
