Class RelationalTableMetadata

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    CollectionTableMetadata, JoinTableMetadata

    public class RelationalTableMetadata
    extends TableMetadata
    INTERNAL: Object to hold onto a relational table metadata in an EclipseLink database table. By relational we mean one that has join columns and a foreign key specification. Key notes: - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be compared in the equals method. - when loading from annotations, the constructor accepts the metadata accessor this metadata was loaded from. Used it to look up any 'companion' annotation needed for processing. - methods should be preserved in alphabetical order.

    EclipseLink 2.5
