Interface EnhancementContext

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    DefaultEnhancementContext, EnhancementContextWrapper, EnhancerTestContext

    public interface EnhancementContext
    The context for performing an enhancement. Enhancement can happen in any number of ways:
    • Build time, via Ant
    • Build time, via Maven
    • Build time, via Gradle
    • Runtime, via agent
    • Runtime, via JPA constructs

    This interface isolates the code that actually does the enhancement from the underlying context in which the enhancement is being performed.

    • Method Detail

      • getLoadingClassLoader

        ClassLoader getLoadingClassLoader()
        Obtain access to the ClassLoader that can be used to load Class references. In JPA SPI terms, this should be a "temporary class loader" as defined by PersistenceUnitInfo.getNewTempClassLoader()
        Returns:
        The class loader that the enhancer can use.
      • isEntityClass

        boolean isEntityClass​(UnloadedClass classDescriptor)
        Does the given class descriptor represent an entity class?
        Parameters:
        classDescriptor - The descriptor of the class to check.
        Returns:
        true if the class is an entity; false otherwise.
      • isCompositeClass

        boolean isCompositeClass​(UnloadedClass classDescriptor)
        Does the given class name represent an embeddable/component class?
        Parameters:
        classDescriptor - The descriptor of the class to check.
        Returns:
        true if the class is an embeddable/component; false otherwise.
      • isMappedSuperclassClass

        boolean isMappedSuperclassClass​(UnloadedClass classDescriptor)
        Does the given class name represent a MappedSuperclass class?
        Parameters:
        classDescriptor - The descriptor of the class to check.
        Returns:
        true if the class is a mapped super class; false otherwise.
      • doBiDirectionalAssociationManagement

        boolean doBiDirectionalAssociationManagement​(UnloadedField field)
        Should we manage association of bi-directional persistent attributes for this field?
        Parameters:
        field - The field to check.
        Returns:
        true indicates that the field is enhanced so that for bi-directional persistent fields the association is managed, i.e. the associations are automatically set; false indicates that the management is handled by the user.
      • doDirtyCheckingInline

        @Deprecated(forRemoval=true)
        boolean doDirtyCheckingInline​(UnloadedClass classDescriptor)
        Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
        Will be removed without replacement. See HHH-15641
        Should we in-line dirty checking for persistent attributes for this class?
        Parameters:
        classDescriptor - The descriptor of the class to check.
        Returns:
        true indicates that dirty checking should be in-lined within the entity; false indicates it should not. In-lined is more easily serializable and probably more performant.
      • doExtendedEnhancement

        boolean doExtendedEnhancement​(UnloadedClass classDescriptor)
        Should we enhance field access to entities from this class?
        Parameters:
        classDescriptor - The descriptor of the class to check.
        Returns:
        true indicates that any direct access to fields of entities should be routed to the enhanced getter / setter method.
      • hasLazyLoadableAttributes

        @Deprecated(forRemoval=true)
        boolean hasLazyLoadableAttributes​(UnloadedClass classDescriptor)
        Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
        Will be removed without replacement. See HHH-15641
        Does the given class define any lazy loadable attributes?
        Parameters:
        classDescriptor - The class to check
        Returns:
        true/false
      • isPersistentField

        boolean isPersistentField​(UnloadedField ctField)
        Does the field represent persistent state? Persistent fields will be "enhanced".

        may be better to perform basic checks in the caller (non-static, etc) and call out with just the Class name and field name...

        Parameters:
        ctField - The field reference.
        Returns:
        true if the field is ; false otherwise.
      • isLazyLoadable

        boolean isLazyLoadable​(UnloadedField field)
        Determine if a field is lazy loadable.
        Parameters:
        field - The field to check
        Returns:
        true if the field is lazy loadable; false otherwise.
      • isMappedCollection

        boolean isMappedCollection​(UnloadedField field)
        Parameters:
        field - the field to check
        Returns:
        true if the field is mapped
