Method Detail

injectClassLoaderDelegate

void injectClassLoaderDelegate(ClassLoaderDelegate delegate)

Allows injection of a ClassLoaderDelegate into the ReflectionManager

Parameters:

delegate - The ClassLoaderDelegate to use

getClassLoaderDelegate

ClassLoaderDelegate getClassLoaderDelegate()

Access to the ClassLoaderDelegate currently associated with this ReflectionManager

Returns:

The current ClassLoaderDelegate

toXClass

<T> XClass toXClass(Class<T> clazz)

toClass

Class toClass(XClass xClazz)

toMethod

Method toMethod(XMethod method)

classForName

@Deprecated
<T> XClass classForName(String name,
                                    Class<T> caller)
                             throws ClassNotFoundException

Deprecated. Instead use:

• toXClass(Class) after resolving the Class yourself
• classForName(String) after having injected the proper ClassLoaderDelegate to use via injectClassLoaderDelegate(org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.ClassLoaderDelegate)

Deprecated; do not use.

Type Parameters:

T -

Parameters:

name -

caller -

Returns:

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

classForName

XClass classForName(String name)
             throws ClassLoadingException

Given the name of a Class, retrieve the XClass representation.

Uses ClassLoaderDelegate (via getClassLoaderDelegate()) to resolve the Class reference

Parameters:

name - The name of the Class to load (as an XClass)

Returns:

The XClass instance

Throws:

ClassLoadingException - Indicates a problem resolving the Class; see ClassLoaderDelegate.classForName(java.lang.String)

packageForName

XPackage packageForName(String packageName)
                 throws ClassNotFoundException

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

equals

<T> boolean equals(XClass class1,
                   Class<T> class2)

buildAnnotationReader

AnnotationReader buildAnnotationReader(AnnotatedElement annotatedElement)

getDefaults

Map getDefaults()
