Class AbstractDirectMapping

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.DatabaseMapping
      org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.foundation.AbstractDirectMapping

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, MapComponentMapping, MapKeyMapping

Direct Known Subclasses:

DirectToFieldMapping, EISDirectMapping, XMLDirectMapping

public abstract class AbstractDirectMapping
extends DatabaseMapping
implements MapKeyMapping

Purpose: Maps an attribute to the corresponding database field type. The list of field types that are supported by EclipseLink's direct to field mapping is dependent on the relational database being used. A converter can be used to convert between the object and data type if they do not match.

INTERNAL: Merge changes from the source to the target object. This merge is only called when a changeSet for the target does not exist or the target is uninitialized

Specified by:

mergeIntoObject in class DatabaseMapping

setAttributeClassification

public void setAttributeClassification(java.lang.Class attributeClassification)

PUBLIC: Some databases do not properly support all of the base data types. For these databases, the base data type must be explicitly specified in the mapping to tell TopLink to force the instance variable value to that data type

setAttributeClassificationName

INTERNAL: Set the name of the class for MW usage.

setField

public void setField(org.eclipse.persistence.internal.helper.DatabaseField theField)

setNullValue

public void setNullValue(java.lang.Object nullValue)

PUBLIC: Allow for the value used for null to be specified. This can be used to convert database null values to application specific values, when null values are not allowed by the application (such as in primitives). Note: the default value for NULL is used on reads, writes, and query SQL generation

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

INTERNAL:

Overrides:

toString in class DatabaseMapping

                              org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession executionSession)

INTERNAL: Extract value from the row and set the attribute to this value in the working copy clone. In order to bypass the shared cache when in transaction a UnitOfWork must be able to populate working copies directly from the row.

buildShallowOriginalFromRow

public void buildShallowOriginalFromRow(org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractRecord databaseRow,
                                        java.lang.Object original,

                                        org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession executionSession)

INTERNAL: Builds a shallow original object. Only direct attributes and primary keys are populated. In this way the minimum original required for instantiating a working copy clone can be built without placing it in the shared cache (no concern over cycles).

Overrides:

buildShallowOriginalFromRow in class DatabaseMapping

valueFromRow

public java.lang.Object valueFromRow(org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractRecord row,
                                     org.eclipse.persistence.internal.queries.JoinedAttributeManager joinManager,

INTERNAL: Return the mapping's attribute value from the row. The execution session is passed for the case of building a UnitOfWork clone directly from a row, the session set in the query will not know which platform to use for converting the value. Allows the correct session to be passed in.

Overrides:

valueFromRow in class DatabaseMapping
