public interface ValueMapping
extends MappingModelExpressible, JavaTypedExpressible

Describes a mapping related to any part of the app's domain model, for example, an attribute, an entity identifier, collection elements, etc. Used during generation of a SQL AST.

addToCacheKey

Methods inherited from interface org.hibernate.metamodel.mapping.JdbcMappingContainer

forEachJdbcType, getJdbcMapping, getSingleJdbcMapping

Method Detail

getMappedType

MappingType getMappedType()

Descriptor for the type of this mapping

getExpressibleJavaType

default JavaType<?> getExpressibleJavaType()

Specified by:

getExpressibleJavaType in interface JavaTypedExpressible

treatAs

default <X> X treatAs(Class<X> targetType)

Treat operation. Asks the ValueMapping to treat itself as the given `targetType`, if it can.

API Note:

This is not necessarily limited to things the ValueMapping itself implements.

Implementation Note:

This default implementation is however limited to just things the ValueMapping itself implements.
