Class ClassAccessor

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    EmbeddableAccessor, InterfaceAccessor, MappedSuperclassAccessor
    public abstract class ClassAccessor
extends MetadataAccessor
    INTERNAL: A abstract class accessor. Holds common metadata for entities, embeddables and mapped superclasses. Key notes: - all metadata mapped from XML to this class must be compared in the equals method. - all metadata mapped from XML must be initialized in the initXMLObject method. - all metadata mapped from XML to this class must be handled in the merge method. (merging is done at the accessor/mapping level) - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be initialized in the initXMLObject method. - methods should be preserved in alphabetical order.

    • Constructor Detail

      • ClassAccessor

        protected ClassAccessor​(java.lang.String xmlElement)
        INTERNAL:

      • ClassAccessor

        protected ClassAccessor​(MetadataAnnotation annotation,
                        MetadataClass cls,
                        MetadataDescriptor descriptor)
        INTERNAL: Called from MappedSuperclassAccessor. We want to avoid setting the class accessor on the descriptor to be the MappedSuperclassAccessor.

    • Method Detail

      • addAccessor

        protected void addAccessor​(MappingAccessor accessor)
        INTERNAL: Add the accessor to the descriptor

      • addAccessors

        public void addAccessors()
        INTERNAL: Add the accessors from this class accessors java class to the descriptor tied to this class accessor. This method is called for every class accessor and is also called from parent class accessors to each of its subclasses of a TABLE_PER_CLASS inheritance strategy. Add accessors is called in the preProcess stage and must not be called until its owning class accessor has processed its access type.

      • addAccessorFields

        protected void addAccessorFields​(boolean processingInverse)
        INTERNAL: Create mappings from the fields directly. If the mustBeExplicit flag is true, then we are processing the inverse of an explicit access setting and for a field to be processed it must have a Access(FIELD) setting.

      • addAccessorMethods

        protected void addAccessorMethods​(boolean processingInverse)
        INTERNAL: Create mappings via the class properties. If the mustBeExplicit flag is true, then we are processing the inverse of an explicit access setting and for a field to be processed it must have a Access(PROPERTY) setting.

      • addPotentialEmbeddableAccessor

        protected void addPotentialEmbeddableAccessor​(MetadataClass potentialEmbeddableClass,
                                              ClassAccessor embeddingAccessor)
        INTERNAL Add an embeddable class to the embeddable accessor list if it is indeed an embeddable. This method is overridden in EmbeddableAccessor and is called during pre-process. At the entity level all we want to do is set the owning descriptor whereas for nested embeddables they'll need the list of owning descriptors. Any nested embeddables will be discovered and pre-processed when pre-processing the known list of root embeddables.

      • addPotentialMappedSuperclass

      • clearMappedSuperclassesAndInheritanceParents

        protected void clearMappedSuperclassesAndInheritanceParents()
        INTERNAL:

      • clearPreProcessed
