Method Detail

getType

public AnyType getType()

Description copied from interface: AnyMappingDefinition

Access to the mapping's AnyType

Specified by:

getType in interface AnyMappingDefinition

Returns:

The AnyType

isLazy

public boolean isLazy()

Description copied from interface: AnyMappingDefinition

Was the mapping defined as lazy?

Specified by:

isLazy in interface AnyMappingDefinition

Returns:

true/false

getIdentifierType

public Type getIdentifierType()

Description copied from interface: AnyMappingDefinition

Access to the type of the value that makes up the identifier portion of the AnyType.

Specified by:

getIdentifierType in interface AnyMappingDefinition

Returns:

The identifier type

See Also:

AnyMetaDef.idType()

getDiscriminatorType

public Type getDiscriminatorType()

Description copied from interface: AnyMappingDefinition

Access to the type of the value that makes up the discriminator portion of the AnyType. The discriminator is historically called the "meta".

NOTE : If explicit discriminator mappings are given, the type here will be a MetaType.

Specified by:

getDiscriminatorType in interface AnyMappingDefinition

Returns:

The discriminator type

Any.metaColumn(), AnyMetaDef.metaType()

getMappingDefinedDiscriminatorMappings

public Iterable<AnyMappingDefinition.DiscriminatorMapping> getMappingDefinedDiscriminatorMappings()

Description copied from interface: AnyMappingDefinition

Access to discriminator mappings explicitly defined in the mapping metadata. There are 2 flavors of discrimination:

1. The database holds the concrete entity names. This is an implicit form, meaning that the discriminator mappings do not have to be defined in the mapping metadata. In this case, an empty iterable is returned here
2. The database holds discriminator values that are interpreted to corresponding entity names based on discriminator mappings explicitly supplied in the mapping metadata (see AnyMetaDef.metaValues()). In this case, this method gives access to those explicitly defined mappings.

Specified by:

getMappingDefinedDiscriminatorMappings in interface AnyMappingDefinition

Returns:

The explicitly defined discriminator value mappings.
