Interface ManagedEntity

All Superinterfaces:

Managed

public interface ManagedEntity
extends Managed

Specialized Managed contract for entity classes. Essentially provides access to information about an instance's association to a Session/EntityManager. Specific information includes:

• the association's EntityEntry (by way of $$_hibernate_getEntityEntry() and $$_hibernate_setEntityEntry(org.hibernate.engine.spi.EntityEntry)). EntityEntry describes states, snapshots, etc.
• link information. ManagedEntity instances are part of a "linked list", thus link information describes the next and previous entries/nodes in that ordering. See $$_hibernate_getNextManagedEntity(), $$_hibernate_setNextManagedEntity(org.hibernate.engine.spi.ManagedEntity), $$_hibernate_getPreviousManagedEntity(), $$_hibernate_setPreviousManagedEntity(org.hibernate.engine.spi.ManagedEntity)

Method Detail

$$_hibernate_getEntityInstance

Object $$_hibernate_getEntityInstance()

Obtain a reference to the entity instance.

Returns:

The entity instance.

$$_hibernate_getEntityEntry

EntityEntry $$_hibernate_getEntityEntry()

Provides access to the associated EntityEntry.

Returns:

The EntityEntry associated with this entity instance.

See Also:

$$_hibernate_setEntityEntry(org.hibernate.engine.spi.EntityEntry)

$$_hibernate_setEntityEntry

void $$_hibernate_setEntityEntry(EntityEntry entityEntry)

Injects the EntityEntry associated with this entity instance. The EntityEntry represents state associated with the entity in regards to its association with a Hibernate Session.

Parameters:

entityEntry - The EntityEntry associated with this entity instance.

$$_hibernate_getPreviousManagedEntity

ManagedEntity $$_hibernate_getPreviousManagedEntity()

Part of entry linking; obtain reference to the previous entry. Can be null, which should indicate this is the head node.

Returns:

The previous entry

$$_hibernate_setPreviousManagedEntity

void $$_hibernate_setPreviousManagedEntity(ManagedEntity previous)

Part of entry linking; sets the previous entry. Again, can be null, which should indicate this is (now) the head node.

Parameters:

previous - The previous entry

$$_hibernate_getNextManagedEntity

ManagedEntity $$_hibernate_getNextManagedEntity()

Part of entry linking; obtain reference to the next entry. Can be null, which should indicate this is the tail node.

Returns:

The next entry

$$_hibernate_setNextManagedEntity

void $$_hibernate_setNextManagedEntity(ManagedEntity next)

Part of entry linking; sets the next entry. Again, can be null, which should indicate this is (now) the tail node.

Parameters:

next - The next entry
