Interface EntityTuplizer

All Superinterfaces:
Tuplizer
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractEntityTuplizer

public interface EntityTuplizer
extends Tuplizer

Defines further responsibilities reagarding tuplization based on a mapped entity.

EntityTuplizer implementations should have the following constructor signature: (org.hibernate.tuple.entity.EntityMetamodel, org.hibernate.mapping.PersistentClass)

Does this entity, for this mode, present a possibility for proxying?

Returns:
True if this tuplizer can generate proxies for this entity.

                          SessionImplementor session)

Returns:
The generate proxies.
Throws:
HibernateException - Indicates an error generating the proxy.

isLifecycleImplementor

public boolean isLifecycleImplementor()
Does the class managed by this tuplizer implement the Lifecycle interface.

Returns:
True if the Lifecycle interface is implemented; false otherwise.

isValidatableImplementor

public boolean isValidatableImplementor()
Does the class managed by this tuplizer implement the Validatable interface.

Returns:
True if the Validatable interface is implemented; false otherwise.

getConcreteProxyClass

public Class getConcreteProxyClass()
Returns the java class to which generated proxies will be typed.

todo : look at fully encapsulating PersistenceContext.narrowProxy(java.lang.Object, org.hibernate.persister.entity.EntityPersister, org.hibernate.engine.EntityKey, java.lang.Object) here, since that is the only external use of this method

Returns:
The java class to which generated proxies will be typed

hasUninitializedLazyProperties

public boolean hasUninitializedLazyProperties(Object entity)
Does the given entity instance have any currently uninitialized lazy properties?

Parameters:
entity - The entity to be check for uninitialized lazy properties.

True if uninitialized lazy properties were found; false otherwise.

isInstrumented

public boolean isInstrumented()
Is it an instrumented POJO?


getEntityNameResolvers

public EntityNameResolver[] getEntityNameResolvers()
Get any EntityNameResolvers associated with this Tuplizer.

Returns:
The associated resolvers. May be null or empty.

determineConcreteSubclassEntityName

public String determineConcreteSubclassEntityName(Object entityInstance,
                                                  SessionFactoryImplementor factory)
Given an entity instance, determine the most appropriate (most targeted) entity-name which represents it. This is called in situations where we already know an entity name for the given entityInstance; we are being asked to determine if there is a more appropriate entity-name to use, specifically within an inheritence hierarchy.

For example, consider a case where a user calls session.update( "Animal", cat );. Here, the user has explicitly provided Animal as the entity-name. However, they have passed in an instance of Cat which is a subclass of Animal. In this case, we would return Cat as the entity-name.

null may be returned from calls to this method. The meaining of null in that case is assumed to be that we should use whatever explicit entity-name the user provided (Animal rather than Cat in the example above).

Parameters:
entityInstance - The entity instance.
factory - Reference to the SessionFactory.
Returns:
The most appropriate entity name to use.
Throws:
HibernateException - If we are unable to determine an entity-name within the inheritence hierarchy.
