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,
                                 java.lang.Object element2,
                                 org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession session)

Compare the non-null elements and return true if they are alike. This is used to build a change record.

getAttributeName

java.lang.String getAttributeName()

Return the mapping's attribute name.

getRealCollectionAttributeValueFromObject

java.lang.Object getRealCollectionAttributeValueFromObject(java.lang.Object object,
                                                           org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession session)

Return the attribute value from the specified object, unwrapping the value holder if necessary. If the value is null, build a new container.

mapKeyHasChanged

boolean mapKeyHasChanged(java.lang.Object element,
                         org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession session)

Return whether the element's user-defined Map key has changed since it was cloned from the original version.

setRealAttributeValueInObject

void setRealAttributeValueInObject(java.lang.Object object,
                                   java.lang.Object attributeValue)

Set the attribute value for the specified object, wrapping it in a value holder if necessary.
