Method Detail

isAssociationType

public boolean isAssociationType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Return true if the implementation is castable to AssociationType. This does not necessarily imply that the type actually represents an association. Essentially a polymorphic version of (type instanceof AssociationType.class)

Specified by:

isAssociationType in interface Type

Returns:

True if this type is also an AssociationType implementor; false otherwise.

isCollectionType

public boolean isCollectionType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Return true if the implementation is castable to CollectionType. Essentially a polymorphic version of (type instanceof CollectionType.class)

A CollectionType is additionally an AssociationType; so if this method returns true, Type.isAssociationType() should also return true.

Specified by:

isCollectionType in interface Type

Returns:

True if this type is also an CollectionType implementor; false otherwise.

isComponentType

public boolean isComponentType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Return true if the implementation is castable to CompositeType. Essentially a polymorphic version of (type instanceof CompositeType.class). A component type may own collections or associations and hence must provide certain extra functionality.

Specified by:

isComponentType in interface Type

Returns:

True if this type is also an CompositeType implementor; false otherwise.

isEntityType

public boolean isEntityType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Return true if the implementation is castable to EntityType. Essentially a polymorphic version of (type instanceof EntityType.class).

An EntityType is additionally an AssociationType; so if this method returns true, Type.isAssociationType() should also return true.

Specified by:

isEntityType in interface Type

Returns:

True if this type is also an EntityType implementor; false otherwise.

isXMLElement

public boolean isXMLElement()

Specified by:

isXMLElement in interface Type

compare

public int compare(Object x,
                   Object y)

Description copied from interface: Type

Perform a Comparator style comparison between values

Specified by:

compare in interface Type

Parameters:

x - The first value

y - The second value

Returns:

The comparison result. See Comparator.compare(T, T) for a discussion.

disassemble

public Serializable disassemble(Object value,
                                SessionImplementor session,
                                Object owner)
                         throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

Return a disassembled representation of the object. This is the value Hibernate will use in second level caching, so care should be taken to break values down to their simplest forms; for entities especially, this means breaking them down into their constituent parts.

Specified by:

disassemble in interface Type

Parameters:

value - the value to cache

session - the originating session

owner - optional parent entity object (needed for collections)

Returns:

the disassembled, deep cloned state

HibernateException - An error from Hibernate

assemble

public Object assemble(Serializable cached,
                       SessionImplementor session,
                       Object owner)
                throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

Reconstruct the object from its disassembled state. This method is the reciprocal of Type.disassemble(java.lang.Object, org.hibernate.engine.spi.SessionImplementor, java.lang.Object)

Specified by:

assemble in interface Type

Parameters:

cached - the disassembled state from the cache

session - the originating session

owner - the parent entity object

Returns:

the (re)assembled object

Throws:

HibernateException - An error from Hibernate

isDirty

public boolean isDirty(Object old,
                       Object current,
                       SessionImplementor session)
                throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

Should the parent be considered dirty, given both the old and current value?

Specified by:

isDirty in interface Type

Parameters:

old - the old value

current - the current value

session - The session from which the request originated.

Returns:

true if the field is dirty

Throws:

HibernateException - A problem occurred performing the checking

hydrate

public Object hydrate(ResultSet rs,
                      String[] names,
                      SessionImplementor session,
                      Object owner)
               throws HibernateException,
                      SQLException

Description copied from interface: Type

Extract a value from the JDBC result set. This is useful for 2-phase property initialization - the second phase is a call to Type.resolve(java.lang.Object, org.hibernate.engine.spi.SessionImplementor, java.lang.Object) This hydrated value will be either:

• in the case of an entity or collection type, the key
• otherwise, the value itself

Specified by:

hydrate in interface Type

Parameters:

rs - The JDBC result set

names - the column names making up this type value (use to read from result set)

session - The originating session

owner - the parent entity

Returns:

An entity or collection key, or an actual value.

Throws:

HibernateException - An error from Hibernate

SQLException - An error from the JDBC driver

Type.resolve(java.lang.Object, org.hibernate.engine.spi.SessionImplementor, java.lang.Object)

resolve

public Object resolve(Object value,
                      SessionImplementor session,
                      Object owner)
               throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

The second phase of 2-phase loading. Only really pertinent for entities and collections. Here we resolve the identifier to an entity or collection instance

Specified by:

resolve in interface Type

Parameters:

value - an identifier or value returned by hydrate()

session - the session

owner - the parent entity

Returns:

the given value, or the value associated with the identifier

Throws:

HibernateException - An error from Hibernate

See Also:

Type.hydrate(java.sql.ResultSet, java.lang.String[], org.hibernate.engine.spi.SessionImplementor, java.lang.Object)

semiResolve

public Object semiResolve(Object value,
                          SessionImplementor session,
                          Object owner)
                   throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

Given a hydrated, but unresolved value, return a value that may be used to reconstruct property-ref associations.

Specified by:

semiResolve in interface Type

Parameters:

value - The unresolved, hydrated value

session - THe originating session

owner - The value owner

Returns:

The semi-resolved value

Throws:

HibernateException - An error from Hibernate

isAnyType

public boolean isAnyType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Return true if the implementation is castable to AnyType. Essentially a polymorphic version of (type instanceof AnyType.class).

An AnyType is additionally an AssociationType; so if this method returns true, Type.isAssociationType() should also return true.

Specified by:

isAnyType in interface Type

Returns:

True if this type is also an AnyType implementor; false otherwise.

isModified

public boolean isModified(Object old,
                          Object current,
                          boolean[] checkable,
                          SessionImplementor session)
                   throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

Has the value been modified compared to the current database state? The difference between this and the Type.isDirty(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, org.hibernate.engine.spi.SessionImplementor) methods is that here we need to account for "partially" built values. This is really only an issue with association types. For most type implementations it is enough to simply delegate to Type.isDirty(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, org.hibernate.engine.spi.SessionImplementor) here/

Specified by:

isModified in interface Type

Parameters:

old - the database state, in a "hydrated" form, with identifiers unresolved

current - the current state of the object

checkable - which columns are actually updatable

session - The session from which the request originated.

Returns:

true if the field has been modified

Throws:

HibernateException - A problem occurred performing the checking

isSame

public boolean isSame(Object x,
                      Object y)
               throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality" (equality of persistent state) taking a shortcut for entity references.

For most types this should equate to an equals check on the values. For associations the implication is a bit different. For most types it is conceivable to simply delegate to Type.isEqual(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)

Specified by:

isSame in interface Type

Parameters:

x - The first value

y - The second value

Returns:

True if there are considered the same (see discussion above).

Throws:

HibernateException - A problem occurred performing the comparison

isEqual

public boolean isEqual(Object x,
                       Object y)

Description copied from interface: Type

Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality" (equality of persistent state).

This should always equate to some form of comparison of the value's internal state. As an example, for something like a date the comparison should be based on its internal "time" state based on the specific portion it is meant to represent (timestamp, date, time).

Specified by:

isEqual in interface Type

Parameters:

x - The first value

y - The second value

Returns:

True if there are considered equal (see discussion above).

getHashCode

public int getHashCode(Object x)

Description copied from interface: Type

Get a hash code, consistent with persistence "equality". Again for most types the normal usage is to delegate to the value's hashCode.

Specified by:

getHashCode in interface Type

Parameters:

x - The value for which to retrieve a hash code

Returns:

The hash code

isEqual

public boolean isEqual(Object x,
                       Object y,
                       SessionFactoryImplementor factory)

Description copied from interface: Type

Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality" (equality of persistent state).

This should always equate to some form of comparison of the value's internal state. As an example, for something like a date the comparison should be based on its internal "time" state based on the specific portion it is meant to represent (timestamp, date, time).

Specified by:

isEqual in interface Type

Parameters:

x - The first value

y - The second value

factory - The session factory

Returns:

True if there are considered equal (see discussion above).

getHashCode

public int getHashCode(Object x,
                       SessionFactoryImplementor factory)

Description copied from interface: Type

Get a hash code, consistent with persistence "equality". Again for most types the normal usage is to delegate to the value's hashCode.

Specified by:

getHashCode in interface Type

Parameters:

x - The value for which to retrieve a hash code

factory - The session factory

Returns:

The hash code

replaceNode

protected static void replaceNode(org.dom4j.Node container,
                                  org.dom4j.Element value)

getSemiResolvedType

public Type getSemiResolvedType(SessionFactoryImplementor factory)

Description copied from interface: Type

As part of 2-phase loading, when we perform resolving what is the resolved type for this type? Generally speaking the type and its semi-resolved type will be the same. The main deviation from this is in the case of an entity where the type would be the entity type and semi-resolved type would be its identifier type

Specified by:

getSemiResolvedType in interface Type

Parameters:

factory - The session factory

Returns:

The semi-resolved type

replace

public Object replace(Object original,
                      Object target,
                      SessionImplementor session,
                      Object owner,
                      Map copyCache,
                      ForeignKeyDirection foreignKeyDirection)
               throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging. For immutable objects, or null values, it is safe to simply return the first parameter. For mutable objects, it is safe to return a copy of the first parameter. For objects with component values, it might make sense to recursively replace component values.

Specified by:

replace in interface Type

Parameters:

original - the value from the detached entity being merged

target - the value in the managed entity

session - The originating session

owner - The owner of the value

copyCache - The cache of already copied/replaced values

foreignKeyDirection - For associations, which direction does the foreign key point?

Returns:

the value to be merged

Throws:

HibernateException - An error from Hibernate

beforeAssemble

public void beforeAssemble(Serializable cached,
                           SessionImplementor session)

Description copied from interface: Type

Called before assembling a query result set from the query cache, to allow batch fetching of entities missing from the second-level cache.

Specified by:

beforeAssemble in interface Type

Parameters:

cached - The key

session - The originating session
