Interface PersistentType

All Superinterfaces:

AccessReference, IAdaptable, JpaContextModel, JpaModel, JpaStructureNode, JptResourceTypeReference, ManagedType, Model, SpecifiedAccessReference

All Known Subinterfaces:

EclipseLinkOrmPersistentType, JavaPersistentType, OrmPersistentType, PersistentType2_0

public interface PersistentType
extends ManagedType, JpaStructureNode, SpecifiedAccessReference

Context persistent type.

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

Method Detail

getManagedTypeType

Class<PersistentType> getManagedTypeType()

Description copied from interface: ManagedType

Return the managed type's type. This is used to:

• select persistent (or converter) types from any list of types that contains both
• match a managed type with its managed type definition
• match a managed type with its managed type UI definition

Specified by:

getManagedTypeType in interface ManagedType

See Also:

OrmManagedTypeDefinition.getContextManagedTypeType(), JavaManagedTypeDefinition.getManagedTypeType()

getMapping

TypeMapping getMapping()

Return the persistent type's mapping. Set the mapping via setMappingKey(String).

getMappingKey

String getMappingKey()

setMappingKey

void setMappingKey(String key)

isMapped

boolean isMapped()

getAttributes

org.eclipse.jpt.common.utility.iterable.ListIterable<? extends PersistentAttribute> getAttributes()

Return the persistent type's persistent attributes.

getAttributesSize

int getAttributesSize()

Return the number of the persistent type's persistent attributes.

getAttributeNames

Iterable<String> getAttributeNames()

Return the names of the persistent type's persistent attributes.

getAllAttributes

Iterable<PersistentAttribute> getAllAttributes()

Return all the persistent attributes in the persistent type's inheritance hierarchy.

getAllAttributeNames

Iterable<String> getAllAttributeNames()

Return the names of all the persistent attributes in the persistent type's hierarchy.

getAttributeNamed

PersistentAttribute getAttributeNamed(String attributeName)

Return the persistent attribute with the specified name, if it exists locally on the persistent type (as opposed to in its inheritance hierarchy).

resolveAttribute

PersistentAttribute resolveAttribute(String attributeName)

Resolve and return the persistent attribute with the specified name, if it is distinct and exists within the context of the persistent type.

getAttributeTypeBinding

TypeBinding getAttributeTypeBinding(PersistentAttribute attribute)

Return qualified type name of given attribute within the context of this type.

getSuperPersistentType

PersistentType getSuperPersistentType()

Return the persistent type of the super type mapping

See Also:

TypeMapping.getSuperTypeMapping()

getInheritanceHierarchy

Iterable<PersistentType> getInheritanceHierarchy()

Return the persistent type's "persistence" inheritance hierarchy, including the persistent type itself.

See Also:

TypeMapping#getTypeMappingInheritanceHierarchy()

getAncestors

Iterable<PersistentType> getAncestors()

Return the persistent type's "persistence" inheritance hierarchy, excluding the persistent type itself.

See Also:

TypeMapping#getAncesors()

getOverriddenPersistentType

PersistentType getOverriddenPersistentType()

Return the persistent type the persistent type overrides. Typically this is the Java persistent type overridden by a non-metadata-complete orm.xml persistent type.
