Class EmbeddedAccessor

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    DerivedIdClassAccessor, EmbeddedIdAccessor
    public class EmbeddedAccessor
extends MappingAccessor
    An embedded relationship accessor. It may define all the same attributes as an entity, therefore, it also must handle nesting embedded's to the nth level. An embedded owning descriptor is a reference back to the actual owning entity's descriptor where the first embedded was discovered. Key notes: - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be compared in the equals method. - any 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.

        INTERNAL: Called when process the mapsId metadata. The id fields for this owning descriptor must have it's id fields update to those from the one to one accessor that maps them. We process embedded and embedded id mappings first, so by default they get mapped and processed as they normally would. When we go through the relationship accessors and discover a mapsId we then need to make some updates to our list of primary key fields.
