Method Detail

getTypeConfiguration

TypeConfiguration getTypeConfiguration()

The TypeConfiguration to contribute to

contributeJavaType

default void contributeJavaType(JavaType<?> descriptor)

Add the given JavaType to the JavaTypeRegistry of the eventual TypeConfiguration.

contributeJdbcType

default void contributeJdbcType(JdbcType descriptor)

Add the given JdbcType to the JdbcTypeRegistry of the eventual TypeConfiguration.

contributeType

default void contributeType(UserType<?> type)

Register a UserType as the implicit (auto-applied) type for values of type UserType.returnedClass().

contributeAttributeConverter

@Incubating
default void contributeAttributeConverter(Class<? extends AttributeConverter<?,?>> converterClass)

Register an AttributeConverter class.

Since:

6.2

contributeType

@Deprecated(since="6.0")
default void contributeType(BasicType<?> type)

Deprecated.

See discussion of TypeContributor in User Guide.

contributeType

@Deprecated(since="5.3")
default void contributeType(BasicType<?> type,
                            String... keys)

Deprecated.

Use contributeType(BasicType) instead. Basic types will be defined and handled much differently in 6.0 based on a combination of JavaType, JdbcType and a concept of a "value converter" (a JPA AttributeConverter, an enum value resolver, etc). To get as close as possible in 5.3 use existing JavaType and JdbcType implementations (or write your own for custom types) and use StandardBasicTypeTemplate to combine those with registration keys and call contributeType(BasicType) instead

contributeType

@Deprecated(since="5.3")
default void contributeType(UserType<?> type,
                            String... keys)

Deprecated.

Use contributeType(BasicType) instead. UserType, as currently defined, will be done very differently in 6.0. In most cases a UserType can be simply replaced with proper JavaType. To get as close as possible to 6.0 in 5.3 use existing JavaType and JdbcType implementations (or write your own for custom impls) and use StandardBasicTypeTemplate to combine those with registration keys and call contributeType(BasicType) instead
