Method Detail

buildAddedElementFromChangeSet

java.lang.Object buildAddedElementFromChangeSet(java.lang.Object changeSet,
                                                org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.MergeManager mergeManager)
Build and return a newly-added element based on the change set.


buildChangeSet

java.lang.Object buildChangeSet(java.lang.Object element,
                                org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.ObjectChangeSet owner,
                                org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession session)
Build and return a change set for the specified element.


buildElementFromElement

java.lang.Object buildElementFromElement(java.lang.Object element,
                                         org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.MergeManager mergeManager)
Build and return a new element based on the specified element.


buildRemovedElementFromChangeSet

java.lang.Object buildRemovedElementFromChangeSet(java.lang.Object changeSet,
                                                  org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.MergeManager mergeManager)
Build and return a recently-removed element based on the change set.


compareElements

boolean compareElements(java.lang.Object element1,
                        java.lang.Object element2,
                        org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession session)
Compare the non-null elements and return true if they are alike.


compareElementsForChange

boolean compareElementsForChange(java.lang.Object element1,
