Class ConverterAccessor

org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.metadata.accessors.classes.ConverterAccessor

public class ConverterAccessor
extends ORMetadata

Object to represent a converter class. 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.

EclipseLink 2.5
