Method Detail

getTypeMetadataFor

TypeMetadata getTypeMetadataFor(Class<?> clazz,
                                IndexManagerType indexManagerType)

Returns the Search related metadata for the specified type.

Parameters:

clazz - The type of interest.

indexManagerType - the IndexManagerType type managing this entity type

Returns:

the TypeMetadata for the specified type

getTypeMetadataForContainedIn

TypeMetadata getTypeMetadataForContainedIn(Class<?> clazz)

Returns the ContainedIn related metadata for the specified type.

The metadata for ContainedIn are not comprehensive: they do not contain the information about the FieldBridges, the analyzers or the NullMarkerCodecs.

We can't build these information because classes only marked with ContainedIn are not tied to an IndexManager.

It's of no use for ContainedIn resolution anyway.

Parameters:

clazz - The type of interest.

Returns:

the ContainedInTypeMetadata for the specified type

containsSearchMetadata

boolean containsSearchMetadata(Class<?> clazz)
