                      String role,
                      String foreignKeyPropertyName,
                      boolean isEmbeddedInXML)
Method Detail

isEmbeddedInXML

public boolean isEmbeddedInXML()
Specified by:
isEmbeddedInXML in interface AssociationType

getRole

public String getRole()

indexOf

public Object indexOf(Object collection,
                      Object element)

contains

public boolean contains(Object collection,
                        Object childObject,
                        SessionImplementor session)

isCollectionType

public boolean isCollectionType()
Description copied from interface: Type
Return true if the implementation is castable to CollectionType. Essentially a polymorphic version of (type instanceof CollectionType.class)

A CollectionType is additionally an AssociationType; so if this method returns true, Type.isAssociationType() should also return true.

Specified by:
isCollectionType in interface Type
Overrides:
isCollectionType in class AbstractType
Returns:
True if this type is also an CollectionType implementor; false otherwise.

isEqual

public final boolean isEqual(Object x,
                             Object y,
                             EntityMode entityMode)
Description copied from interface: Type
Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality" (equality of persistent state).

This should always equate to some form of comparison of the value's internal state. As an example, for something like a date the comparison should be based on its internal "time" state based on the specific portion it is meant to represent (timestamp, date, time).

Specified by:
isEqual in interface Type
Overrides:
isEqual in class AbstractType
Parameters:
x - The first value
y - The second value
entityMode - The entity mode of the values.
Returns:
True if there are considered equal (see discussion above).

compare

public int compare(Object x,
                   Object y,
                   EntityMode entityMode)
Description copied from interface: Type
Perform a Comparator style comparison between values

Specified by:
compare in interface Type
Overrides:
compare in class AbstractType
Parameters:
x - The first value
y - The second value
entityMode - The entity mode of the values.
Returns:
The comparison result. See Comparator.compare(T, T) for a discussion.

getHashCode

public int getHashCode(Object x,
                       EntityMode entityMode)
Description copied from interface: Type
Get a hash code, consistent with persistence "equality". Again for most types the normal usage is to delegate to the value's #hashCode.

Specified by:
getHashCode in interface Type
Overrides:
getHashCode in class AbstractType
Parameters:
x - The value for which to retrieve a hash code
entityMode - The entity mode of the value.
Returns:
The hash code

replaceElements

public Object replaceElements(Object original,
                              Object target,
                              Object owner,
                              Map copyCache,
                              SessionImplementor session)
Replace the elements of a collection with the elements of another collection.

Parameters:
original - The 'source' of the replacement elements (where we copy from)
target - The target of the replacement elements (where we copy to)
owner - The owner of the collection being merged
copyCache - The map of elements already replaced.
session - The session from which the merge event originated.
Returns:
The merged collection.

instantiateResult

protected Object instantiateResult(Object original)
Instantiate a new "underlying" collection exhibiting the same capacity charactersitcs and the passed "original".

Parameters:
original - The original collection.
Returns:
The newly instantiated collection.

instantiate

public abstract Object instantiate(int anticipatedSize)
Instantiate an empty instance of the "underlying" collection (not a wrapper), but with the given anticipated size (i.e. accounting for initial capacity and perhaps load factor).

Parameters:
anticipatedSize - The anticipated size of the instaniated collection after we are done populating it.
Returns:
A newly instantiated collection to be wrapped.

replace

public Object replace(Object original,
                      Object target,
                      SessionImplementor session,
                      Object owner,
                      Map copyCache)
               throws HibernateException
During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging. For immutable objects, or null values, it is safe to simply return the first parameter. For mutable objects, it is safe to return a copy of the first parameter. For objects with component values, it might make sense to recursively replace component values.

Specified by:
replace in interface Type
Parameters:
original - the value from the detached entity being merged
target - the value in the managed entity
Returns:
the value to be merged
Throws:
HibernateException

getElementType

                          throws MappingException
Get the Hibernate type of the collection elements

Parameters:
factory - The session factory.
Returns:
The type of the collection elements
Throws:
MappingException - Indicates the underlying persister could not be located.
