Class Summary
TransientCompatibleAnnotations PUBLIC: This class is used by our JPA annotation processing to discover which annotations may coexist with a javax.persistence.Transient annotation.
 

Enum Summary

CacheCoordinationType An enum that is used within the Cache annotation.
CacheKeyType Configures what type of Id value is used to store the object in the cache.
CacheType The CacheType enum is used with the Cache annotation for a persistent class.
ChangeTrackingType An enum that is used within the ChangeTracking annotation.
Direction An enum that is used within the StoredProcedureParameter annotation.
ExistenceType An enum that is used within the ExistenceChecking annotation.

OrderCorrectionType The OrderCorrectionType enum is used with OrderCorrection annotation that could be applied together with OrderColumn annotation.
 

Annotation Types Summary
AdditionalCriteria An additional criteria can be specified at the Entity or MappedSuperclass level.
BasicCollection Deprecated.  
BasicMap Deprecated.  
BatchFetch A BatchFetch annotation can be used on any relationship mapping, (OneToOne, ManyToOne, OneToMany, ManyToMany, ElementCollection, BasicCollection, BasicMap).
Cache The Cache annotation is used to configure the EclipseLink object cache.
CacheInterceptor A CacheInterceptor can be set on an Entity and allows all EclipseLink cache access to be intercepted by the developer provided interceptor.
CascadeOnDelete Define the foreign key defined by the relationship to cascade the delete on the database.
ChangeTracking The ChangeTracking annotation is used to specify the org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.changetracking.ObjectChangePolicy which computes changes sets for EclipseLink's UnitOfWork commit process.
ClassExtractor A ClassExtractor allows for a user defined class indicator in place of providing a discriminator column.
CloneCopyPolicy A CloneCopyPolicy is used to set an org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.copying.CloneCopyPolicy on an Entity.
CollectionTable Deprecated.  
ConversionValue A ConversionValue annotation is used within an ObjectTypeConverter.
Convert The Convert annotation specifies that a named converter should be used with the corresponding mapped attribute.
Converter A Converter is used to customize the values during the reading from the database into the object model as well as during the writing back of changes into the database.
Converters A Converters annotation allows the definition of multiple Converter.
CopyPolicy A CopyPolicy is used to set an org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.copying.CopyPolicy on an Entity.
Customizer The Customizer annotation is used to specify a class that implements the org.eclipse.persistence.config.DescriptorCustomizer interface and is to run against an entity's class descriptor after all metadata processing has been completed.
DiscriminatorClass A DiscriminatorClass is used within a VariableOneToOne annotation.
ExcludeDefaultMappings Specifies default mappings (those that are not explicitly decorated in XML or using annotations)should be omitted.
ExistenceChecking The ExistenceChecking annotation is used to specify the type of checking EclipseLink should use when determining if an entity is new or existing.
FetchAttribute A fetch attribute is specified within a fetch group and is used as a performance enhancement that allows a group of attributes of an object to be loaded on demand, which means that the data for an attribute might not loaded from the underlying data source until an explicit access call for the attribute first occurs.
FetchGroup A fetch group is a performance enhancement that allows a group of attributes of an object to be loaded on demand, which means that the data for an attribute might not loaded from the underlying data source until an explicit access call for the attribute first occurs.
FetchGroups A FetchGroups annotation allows the definition of multiple FetchGroup.
HashPartitioning HashPartitioning partitions access to a database cluster by the hash of a field value from the object, such as the object's location, or tenant.
Index Allow a database INDEX to be define when generating DDL.
Indexes Allow a set of database indexes to be define on an Entity.
InstantiationCopyPolicy An InstantiationCopyPolicy is used to set an org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.copying.InstantiationCopyPolicy on an Entity.
JoinFetch A JoinFetch annotation can be used on any relationship mapping, (OneToOne, ManyToOne, OneToMany, ManyToMany, BasicCollection, BasicMap).
MapKeyConvert The MapKeyConvert annotation specifies that a named converter should be used with the corresponding mapped attribute key column.
Mutable A Mutable annotation can be used on a @Basic mapping.
NamedStoredProcedureQueries A NamedStoredProcedureQueries annotation allows the definition of multiple NamedStoredProcedureQuery.
NamedStoredProcedureQuery A NamedStoredProcedureQuery annotation allows the definition of queries that call stored procedures as named queries.
Noncacheable The NonCacheable annotation is used to configure caching behaviour for relationships.
ObjectTypeConverter The ObjectTypeConverter annotation is used to specify a TopLink org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.converters.ObjectTypeConverter that converts a fixed number of database data value(s) to Java object value(s) during the reading and writing of a mapped attribute An ObjectTypeConverter must be be uniquely identified by name and can be defined at the class, field and property level and can be specified within an Entity, MappedSuperclass and Embeddable class.
ObjectTypeConverters An ObjectTypeConverters annotation allows the definition of multiple ObjectTypeConverter.
OptimisticLocking The OptimisticLocking annotation is used to specify the type of optimistic locking TopLink should use when updating or deleting entities.
OrderCorrection OrderCorrection annotation may be specified together with OrderColumn annotation.
Partitioned Partitioning is used to partition the data for a class across multiple difference databases or across a database cluster such as Oracle RAC.
Partitioning A Partitioning is used to partition the data for a class across multiple difference databases or across a database cluster such as Oracle RAC.
PinnedPartitioning PinnedPartitionPolicy pins requests to a single connection pool.
PrimaryKey The PrimaryKey annotation allows advanced configuration of the Id.
PrivateOwned A PrivateOwned annotation is used to specify a relationship is privately owned.
Properties Annotation for user defined properties.
Property Annotation for a user defined property.
QueryRedirectors Redirectors allow EclipseLink queries to be intercepted and pre/post processed or redirected.
RangePartition Represent a specific range partition.
RangePartitioning RangePartitioningPolicy partitions access to a database cluster by a field value from the object, such as the object's id, location, or tenant.
ReadOnly The ReadOnly annotation is used to specify that a class is read only.
ReadTransformer Annotation for org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.TransformationMapping.
ReplicationPartitioning ReplicationPartitioning sends requests to a set of connection pools.
ReturnInsert A ReturnInsert annotation allows for INSERT operations to return values back into the object being written.
ReturnUpdate A ReturnUpdate annotation allows for UPDATE operations to return values back into the object being written.

Transformation Transformation is an optional annotation for org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.TransformationMapping.
TypeConverter The TypeConverter annotation is used to specify an EclipseLink org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.converters.TypeConversionConverter for modification of the data value(s) during the reading and writing of a mapped attribute.
TypeConverters A TypeConverters annotation allows the definition of multiple TypeConverter.
UnionPartitioning UnionPartitioning sends queries to all connection pools and unions the results.
ValuePartition Represent a specific value partition.
ValuePartitioning ValuePartitioning partitions access to a database cluster by a field value from the object, such as the object's location, or tenant.
