iterateTuplizers

public Iterator iterateTuplizers()

Allow iteration over all defined Tuplizers.

Returns:

Iterator over defined tuplizers

guessEntityMode

public EntityMode guessEntityMode(Object object)

Given a supposed instance of an entity/component, guess its entity mode.

Parameters:

object - The supposed instance of the entity/component.

Returns:

The guessed entity mode.

getTuplizerOrNull

public Tuplizer getTuplizerOrNull(EntityMode entityMode)

Locate the contained tuplizer responsible for the given entity-mode. If no such tuplizer is defined on this mapping, then return null.

Parameters:

entityMode - The entity-mode for which the caller wants a tuplizer.

Returns:

The tuplizer, or null if not found.

getTuplizer

public Tuplizer getTuplizer(EntityMode entityMode)

Locate the tuplizer contained within this mapping which is responsible for the given entity-mode. If no such tuplizer is defined on this mapping, then an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

entityMode - The entity-mode for which the caller wants a tuplizer.

Returns:

The tuplizer.

Throws:

HibernateException - Unable to locate the requested tuplizer.
