Field Detail

m_metadataClass

protected MetadataClass m_metadataClass

Class that the method is defined in.

m_returnType

protected String m_returnType

Class name of method return type.

m_parameters

protected List<String> m_parameters

List of class names of method parameters.

m_setMethod

protected MetadataMethod m_setMethod

Constructor Detail

MetadataMethod

public MetadataMethod(MetadataFactory factory,
                      MetadataClass metadataClass)

Create the method from the class metadata.

Method Detail

addParameter

public void addParameter(String parameter)

INTERNAL:

getMetadataClass

public MetadataClass getMetadataClass()

INTERNAL:

getNext

public MetadataMethod getNext()

INTERNAL:

getParameters

public List<String> getParameters()

INTERNAL:

getReturnType

public String getReturnType()

INTERNAL:

getSetMethod

public MetadataMethod getSetMethod()

INTERNAL: Method to convert a getMethod into a setMethod. This method could return null if the corresponding set method is not found.

setSetMethod

public void setSetMethod(MetadataMethod method)

INTERNAL: Method to convert a getMethod into a setMethod.

getSetMethod

public MetadataMethod getSetMethod(MetadataClass cls)

INTERNAL: Method to convert a getMethod into a setMethod. This method could return null if the corresponding set method is not found.

getSetMethodName

public String getSetMethodName()

INTERNAL:

hasAttributeName

public boolean hasAttributeName()

INTERNAL:

hasParameters

public boolean hasParameters()

INTERNAL:

hasSetMethod

public boolean hasSetMethod()

INTERNAL:

isALifeCycleCallbackMethod

public boolean isALifeCycleCallbackMethod()

INTERNAL: Return true if it has a valid name (starts with get or is) and has a property name (getXyz or isXyz) and does not have parameters and has an associated set method.

isValidPersistenceMethod

protected boolean isValidPersistenceMethod()

INTERNAL: Return true if it has a valid name (starts with 'get' or 'is') and has a property name (get'Xyz' or is'Xyz') and does not have parameters and has an associated set method.

isValidPersistenceMethod

public boolean isValidPersistenceMethod(boolean mustBeExplicit,
                                        ClassAccessor classAccessor)

INTERNAL: Return true is this method is a valid persistence method. This method will validate against any declared annotations on the method. If the mustBeExplicit flag is true, then we are processing the inverse of an explicit access setting and the property must have an Access(PROPERTY) setting to be processed. Otherwise, it is ignored.

isValidPersistenceMethod

public boolean isValidPersistenceMethod(ClassAccessor classAccessor,
                                        boolean userDecorated)

INTERNAL: Return true is this method is a valid persistence method. User decorated is used to indicate that the method either had persistence annotations defined on it or that it was specified in XML.

isValidPersistenceMethodName

public boolean isValidPersistenceMethodName()

INTERNAL:

setMetadataClass

public void setMetadataClass(MetadataClass metadataClass)

INTERNAL:

setNext

public void setNext(MetadataMethod next)

INTERNAL:

setParameters

public void setParameters(List<String> parameters)

INTERNAL:

setReturnType

public void setReturnType(String returnType)

INTERNAL:
