      public MappingAccessor getMappingAccessor(String fieldOrPropertyName)
      INTERNAL: This method will first check for an accessor with name equal to field or property name. If no accessor is found than it assumes the field or property name passed in may be a method name and converts it to its corresponding property name and looks for the accessor again. If still no accessor is found and this descriptor represents an inheritance subclass, then traverse up the chain to look for that accessor. Null is returned otherwise.

    • getMappingAccessor

      protected MappingAccessor getMappingAccessor(String fieldOrPropertyName, boolean checkForMethodName)
      INTERNAL: This method will first check for an accessor with name equal to field or property name. If no accessor is found and the checkForMethodName flag is set to true then we'll attempt to convert a potential method name to its corresponding property name and looks for the accessor again. If still no accessor is found and this descriptor represents an inheritance subclass, then traverse up the chain to look for that accessor. Null is returned otherwise.

In a table per class inheritance strategy, the primary key fields (and all mappings for that matter) are inherited from the parent meaning there is no need to check the parent in this case, it should have primary key fields and checking the parent could lead to processing errors.

    • getPrimaryKeyTable

      public DatabaseTable getPrimaryKeyTable()
      INTERNAL: Assumes there is one primary key field set. This method should be called when qualifying any primary key field (from a join column) for this descriptor. This method was created because in an inheritance hierarchy with a joined strategy we can't use getPrimaryTableName() since it would return the wrong table name. From the spec, the primary key must be defined on the entity that is the root of the entity hierarchy or on a mapped superclass of the entity hierarchy. The primary key must be defined exactly once in an entity hierarchy.

    • validateDerivedPKClassId

      public void validateDerivedPKClassId(String attributeName, String expectedType, String referenceClassName)
      INTERNAL: This method is used to validate derived id fields only. Re-using the invalid composite pk attribute validation exception would yield an interesting error message. Therefore, this method should be used to validate derived id members. When validating derived ids things are slightly reversed in terms on context. The expectedType passed in should be the boxed type (were applicable).

    • validatePKClassId

      public void validatePKClassId(String attributeName, String actualType)
      INTERNAL: This method is used only to validate id fields that were found on a pk class were also found on the entity. The actualType passed in should be the boxed type (were applicable).
