Field Detail

entityType

protected org.eclipse.persistence.internal.dynamic.DynamicTypeImpl entityType
The type being configured for dynamic use or being created/extended

Constructor Detail

DynamicTypeBuilder

public DynamicTypeBuilder(java.lang.Class<?> dynamicClass,
                          DynamicType parentType,
                          java.lang.String... tableNames)
Create an EntityType for a new dynamic type. The contained EntityType and its wrapped descriptor are not automatically added to any session. This must be done by the application after the type's is fully configured.

Creating new type Example: DynamicHelper helper = new DynamicHelper(session); DynamicClassLoader dcl = helper.getDynamicClassLoader();

Class javaType = dcl.creatDynamicClass("model.Simple");

DynamicTypeBuilder typeBuilder = new JPADynamicTypeBuilder(javaType, null, "SIMPLE_TYPE");
typeBuilder.setPrimaryKeyFields("SID");
typeBuilder.addDirectMapping("id", int.class, "SID");
typeBuilder.addDirectMapping("value1", String.class, "VAL_1");
typeBuilder.addDirectMapping("value2", boolean.class, "VAL_2");
typeBuilder.addDirectMapping("value3", Calendar.class, "VAL_3");
typeBuilder.addDirectMapping("value4", Character.class, "VAL_4");

helper.addTypes(true, true, typeBuilder.getType());

Parameters:
dynamicClass -
parentType -
tableNames -

Method Detail

addDynamicClasses

protected void addDynamicClasses(DynamicClassLoader dcl,
                                 java.lang.String className,
                                 DynamicType parentType)
Register a DynamicClassWriter with the provided DynamicClassLoader so that a dynamic class can be generated when needed.


configure

protected void configure(ClassDescriptor descriptor,
                         java.lang.String... tableNames)
Initialize a new or existing descriptor configuring the necessary policies as well as


getType

public DynamicType getType()

setPrimaryKeyFields

public void setPrimaryKeyFields(java.lang.String... pkFieldNames)
Set the PK field names on the underlying descriptor ensuring no duplicate names are added.

Parameters:
pkFieldNames - qualified or unqualified field names

addDirectMapping

public DirectToFieldMapping addDirectMapping(java.lang.String name,
                                             java.lang.Class<?> javaType,
                                             java.lang.String fieldName)
Allows DirectToFieldMapping (@Basic) mapping to be added to a dynamic type through API. This method can be used on a new DynamicTypeImpl that has yet to be added to a session and have its descriptor initialized, or it can be called on an active (initialized) descriptor.

There is no support currently for having the EclipseLink SchemaManager generate ALTER TABLE calls so any new columns expected must be added without the help of EclipseLink or use the SchemaManager.replaceObject(org.eclipse.persistence.tools.schemaframework.DatabaseObjectDefinition) to DROP and CREATE the table. WARNING: This will cause data loss.

Parameters:
javaType - is the type of the attribute. If the type is a primitive it will be converted to the comparable non-primitive type.

addOneToOneMapping

public OneToOneMapping addOneToOneMapping(java.lang.String name,
                                          DynamicType refType,
                                          java.lang.String... fkFieldNames)
Allows OneToOneMapping (@OneToOne and @ManyToOne) mappings to be added to a dynamic type through API. This method can be used on a new DynamicTypeImpl that has yet to be added to a session and have its descriptor initialized, or it can be called on an active (initialized) descriptor.

There is no support currently for having the EclipseLink SchemaManager generate ALTER TABLE calls so any new columns expected must be added without the help of EclipseLink or use the SchemaManager.replaceObject(org.eclipse.persistence.tools.schemaframework.DatabaseObjectDefinition) to DROP and CREATE the table. WARNING: This will cause data loss.

                                            java.lang.String... fkFieldNames)
Add a OneToManyMapping to the entityType being built or extended. This mapping is created using standard foreign keys from the source table(s) to the target table(s) and transparent indirection ( IndirectList).

Parameters:
name - attribute name to use in the dynamic entity. Also the property name used to access the state of the entity
refType -
fkFieldNames - the FK field names specified in the same order to match the PK field names of the target class
Returns:
the newly created, configured mappin. It will be initialized if the descriptor is already initialized.

Add a DirectCollectionMapping to the entityType being built or extended. This mapping is created using standard foreign keys from the target table(s) to the source table(s) and transparent indirection ( IndirectList).

Parameters:
name - attribute name to use in the dynamic entity. Also the property name used to access the state of the entity
targetTable - name of table holding the direct values
