Method Detail

doCascade

public abstract boolean doCascade(CascadingAction action)
For this style, should the given action be cascaded?

Parameters:
action - The action to be checked for cascade-ability.
Returns:
True if the action should be cascaded under this style; false otherwise.

reallyDoCascade

public boolean reallyDoCascade(CascadingAction action)
Probably more aptly named something like doCascadeToCollectionElements(); it is however used from both the collection and to-one logic branches...

For this style, should the given action really be cascaded? The default implementation is simply to return doCascade(org.hibernate.engine.CascadingAction); for certain styles (currently only delete-orphan), however, we need to be able to control this seperately.

Parameters:
action - The action to be checked for cascade-ability.
Returns:
True if the action should be really cascaded under this style; false otherwise.

hasOrphanDelete

public boolean hasOrphanDelete()
Do we need to delete orphaned collection elements?

Returns:
True if this style need to account for orphan delete operations; false othwerwise.

getCascadeStyle

public static CascadeStyle getCascadeStyle(String cascade)
Factory method for obtaining named cascade styles

Parameters:
cascade - The named cascade style name.
Returns:
The appropriate CascadeStyle
