Constructor Detail

EntityType

protected EntityType(String entityName,
                     String uniqueKeyPropertyName,
                     boolean eager,
                     boolean isEmbeddedInXML,
                     boolean unwrapProxy)
Constructs the requested entity type mapping.

Parameters:
entityName - The name of the associated entity.
uniqueKeyPropertyName - The property-ref name, or null if we reference the PK of the associated entity.
eager - Is eager fetching enabled.
isEmbeddedInXML - Should values of this mapping be embedded in XML modes?
unwrapProxy - Is unwrapping of proxies allowed for this association; unwrapping says to return the "implementation target" of lazy prooxies; typically only possible with lazy="no-proxy".
Method Detail

isAssociationType

public boolean isAssociationType()
An entity type is a type of association type

Specified by:
isAssociationType in interface Type
Overrides:
isAssociationType in class AbstractType
Returns:
True.
See Also:
AssociationType

isEntityType

public final boolean isEntityType()
Explicitly, an entity type is an entity type ;)

Specified by:
isEntityType in interface Type
Overrides:
isEntityType in class AbstractType
Returns:
True.

isMutable

public boolean isMutable()
Are objects of this type mutable. (With respect to the referencing object ... entities and collections are considered immutable because they manage their own internal state.)

Specified by:
isMutable in interface Type
Returns:
boolean

toString

public String toString()
Generates a string representation of this type.

Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
string rep

getName

public String getName()
For entity types, the name correlates to the associated entity name.

Specified by:
getName in interface Type
Returns:
String the Hibernate type name

isReferenceToPrimaryKey

public boolean isReferenceToPrimaryKey()
Does this association foreign key reference the primary key of the other table? Otherwise, it references a property-ref.

Returns:
True if this association reference the PK of the associated entity.

getRHSUniqueKeyPropertyName

public String getRHSUniqueKeyPropertyName()
Description copied from interface: AssociationType
The name of a unique property of the associated entity that provides the join key (null if the identifier of an entity, or key of a collection)

Specified by:
getRHSUniqueKeyPropertyName in interface AssociationType

getLHSPropertyName

public String getLHSPropertyName()
Description copied from interface: AssociationType
Get the name of a property in the owning entity that provides the join key (null if the identifier)

Specified by:
getLHSPropertyName in interface AssociationType

getPropertyName

public String getPropertyName()

getAssociatedEntityName

public final String getAssociatedEntityName()
The name of the associated entity.

Returns:
The associated entity name.

getAssociatedEntityName

public String getAssociatedEntityName(SessionFactoryImplementor factory)
The name of the associated entity.

Specified by:
getAssociatedEntityName in interface AssociationType
Parameters:
factory - The session factory, for resolution.
Returns:
The associated entity name.

getAssociatedJoinable

                               throws MappingException

Specified by:
getAssociatedJoinable in interface AssociationType
Parameters:
factory - The session factory.
Returns:
The associated joinable

getReturnedClass

public final Class getReturnedClass()
This returns the wrong class for an entity with a proxy, or for a named entity. Theoretically it should return the proxy class, but it doesn't.

The problem here is that we do not necessarily have a ref to the associated entity persister (nor to the session factory, to look it up) which is really needed to "do the right thing" here...

Specified by:
getReturnedClass in interface Type
Returns:
The entiyt class.
