Class TypeManager

java.lang.Object
  org.jpox.TypeManager

public class TypeManager
extends java.lang.Object

Registry of type support within JPOX. The plugin mechanism provides the registration of supported types, so that users can register support for their own types and these are loaded when the TypeManager is constructed.

Constructor Detail

TypeManager

public TypeManager(ApiAdapter api,
                   PluginManager mgr,
                   ClassLoaderResolver clr)

Constructor, loading JPOX's support for type mappings using the plugin mechanism.

Parameters:

api - The API in use

clr - the ClassLoader Resolver

mgr - the PluginManager

Method Detail

isReferenceType

public boolean isReferenceType(java.lang.Class cls)

Convenience method returning whether the passed type is a reference type. This typically means whether it is an interface or java.lang.Object.

Parameters:

cls - The class

Returns:

Whether it is a reference type

isSupportedType

public boolean isSupportedType(java.lang.String className)

Accessor for whether a class is supported.

Parameters:

className - The class name

Returns:

Whether the class is supported (to some degree)

getSupportedTypes

public java.util.Set getSupportedTypes()

Accessor for the Supported Types.

Returns:

Set of supported types (containing the fully qualified class names (String)).

isSecondClassMutableType

public boolean isSecondClassMutableType(java.lang.String class_name)

Accessor for whether a class is a supported second class mutable type

Parameters:

class_name - The class name

Returns:

Whether it is a second class mutable type

isSCOList

public boolean isSCOList(java.lang.Class c)

Accessor for whether the type is a List type that uses a SCOList wrapper type.

Parameters:

c - The class

Returns:

if c is a List type

isSCOMap

public boolean isSCOMap(java.lang.Class c)

Accessor for whether the type is a Map type that uses a SCOMap wrapper type.

Parameters:

c - The class

Returns:

true if c is a Map type

getMappingType

public java.lang.Class getMappingType(java.lang.String className)

Accessor for the Java Mapping type class for the supplied class.

Parameters:

className - The class name

Returns:

The Java mapping type

getSecondClassWrapper

public java.lang.Class getSecondClassWrapper(java.lang.String className)

Accessor for the Second Class Wrapper class for the supplied class. A type will have a SCO wrapper if it is SCO supported and is mutable.

Parameters:

className - The class name

Returns:

The second class wrapper

getSecondClassWrapperSimple

public java.lang.Class getSecondClassWrapperSimple(java.lang.String className)

Accessor for the SCO "simple" wrapper class for the supplied class. A type will have a SCO wrapper if it is SCO supported and is mutable. The "simple" wrapper provides simple wrapping of operations and dirty detection only.

Parameters:

className - The class name

Returns:

The second class wrapper

isSecondClassWrapper

public boolean isSecondClassWrapper(java.lang.String className)

Accessor for whether a class is a Second Class Wrapper type.

Parameters:

className - The name of the class

Returns:

Whether it is a second class wrapper type

getDefaultFieldPersistenceModifier

public final FieldPersistenceModifier getDefaultFieldPersistenceModifier(java.lang.Class c,
                                                                         int modifier,

Accessor for the default "persistence-modifier" for a field given the class, its modifier and whether it is a PersistentCapable class.

Parameters:

c - The class

modifier - The modifiers for the field

isPCclass - Whether it is persistence capable.

Returns:

The default field PersistenceModifier.

isDefaultFetchGroup

public boolean isDefaultFetchGroup(java.lang.Class c)

Accessor for whether the class is by default in the default fetch group.

Parameters:

c - The class

Returns:

return true if is part of default fetch group by default

isDefaultEmbeddedType

public boolean isDefaultEmbeddedType(java.lang.Class c)

Utility to return whether a type defaults to embedded or not. See JDO 2 Section 18.14 <field> for definition. This only provides for the basic types, and ignores arrays/collections.

Parameters:

c - The type

Returns:

Whether it defaults to embedded or not.

getType

protected org.jpox.TypeManager.JPOXType getType(java.lang.String className)

Utility class to retrieve a supported type

Parameters:

className - The class name

Returns:

The internal type information for the class
