public interface DomainType<J>
extends SqmExpressible<J>

Describes any type that occurs in the application's domain model. The base for Hibernate's extension of the JPA type system. Encapsulates a JavaType describing the more rudimentary aspects of the Java type. The DomainType is a higher-level construct incorporating information such as bean properties, constructors, etc

Implementation Note:

The actual JPA type system is more akin to SimpleDomainType. This contract represents a "higher level" than JPA including descriptors for collections (which JPA does not define) as well as Hibernate-specific features (like dynamic models or ANY mappings).

JavaType<J>	getExpressibleJavaType()	The descriptor for the Java type (i.e.
default String	getTypeName()	The name of the type.

Method Detail

getTypeName

default String getTypeName()

The name of the type.

API Note:

This is the Hibernate notion of the type name. For most types this will simply be the Java type (i.e. Class) name. However using the String allows for Hibernate's dynamic model feature.

getExpressibleJavaType

JavaType<J> getExpressibleJavaType()

The descriptor for the Java type (i.e. Class) represented by this DomainType.

Specified by:

getExpressibleJavaType in interface SqmExpressible<J>
