Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
List<Class<?>>	getImplementations(Class<?> repositoryType) Given a repository type returns all concrete classes that could be used for that repository's mappings
List<TypeMapping<?>>	getMappings(Class<?> repositoryType) Given a repository type, will look up all possible mappings and creates mapping objects from those
void	register(Class<?> repositoryType, Class<?> implementation) Registers a mapping that should be honored for all repositories that are a subtype of the provided repository type.

Method Detail

register

void register(Class<?> repositoryType,
              Class<?> implementation)

Registers a mapping that should be honored for all repositories that are a subtype of the provided repository type. This means that if you register an implementation for Object all repositories will inherit this mapping.

Parameters:

repositoryType - the repository (super) type

implementation - the implementation type

getImplementations

List<Class<?>> getImplementations(Class<?> repositoryType)

Given a repository type returns all concrete classes that could be used for that repository's mappings

Parameters:

repositoryType - the repository type

Returns:

the list of all possible mappings

getMappings

List<TypeMapping<?>> getMappings(Class<?> repositoryType)

Given a repository type, will look up all possible mappings and creates mapping objects from those

Parameters:

repositoryType - the repository type

Returns:

a list of applicable mappings in the order in which they were registered
