public static final java.lang.Object UNFETCHED_COLLECTION

Constructor Detail

CollectionType

public CollectionType(TypeFactory.TypeScope typeScope,
              java.lang.String role,
              java.lang.String foreignKeyPropertyName,
              boolean isEmbeddedInXML)

Method Detail

isEmbeddedInXML

public boolean isEmbeddedInXML()

Specified by:

isEmbeddedInXML in interface AssociationType

getRole

public java.lang.String getRole()

indexOf

public java.lang.Object indexOf(java.lang.Object collection,
                       java.lang.Object element)

contains

public boolean contains(java.lang.Object collection,
               java.lang.Object childObject,
               SessionImplementor session)

isCollectionType

public boolean isCollectionType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Return true if the implementation is castable to CollectionType. Essentially a polymorphic version of (type instanceof CollectionType.class)

A CollectionType is additionally an AssociationType; so if this method returns true, Type.isAssociationType() should also return true.

Specified by:

isCollectionType in interface Type

Overrides:

isCollectionType in class AbstractType

Returns:

True if this type is also an CollectionType implementor; false otherwise.

isEqual

public final boolean isEqual(java.lang.Object x,
              java.lang.Object y,
              EntityMode entityMode)

Description copied from interface: Type

Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality" (equality of persistent state).

This should always equate to some form of comparison of the value's internal state. As an example, for something like a date the comparison should be based on its internal "time" state based on the specific portion it is meant to represent (timestamp, date, time).

Specified by:

isEqual in interface Type

Overrides:

isEqual in class AbstractType

Parameters:

x - The first value

y - The second value

entityMode - The entity mode of the values.

Returns:

True if there are considered equal (see discussion above).

compare

          java.lang.Object y,
          EntityMode entityMode)

Description copied from interface: Type

Perform a Comparator style comparison between values

Specified by:

compare in interface Type

Overrides:

compare in class AbstractType

Parameters:

x - The first value

y - The second value

entityMode - The entity mode of the values.

Returns:

The comparison result. See Comparator.compare(T, T) for a discussion.

getHashCode

public int getHashCode(java.lang.Object x,
              EntityMode entityMode)

Description copied from interface: Type

Get a hash code, consistent with persistence "equality". Again for most types the normal usage is to delegate to the value's #hashCode.

Specified by:

getHashCode in interface Type

Overrides:

getHashCode in class AbstractType

Parameters:

x - The value for which to retrieve a hash code

entityMode - The entity mode of the value.

Returns:

The hash code

                               SessionImplementor session)

Replace the elements of a collection with the elements of another collection.

Parameters:

original - The 'source' of the replacement elements (where we copy from)

target - The target of the replacement elements (where we copy to)

owner - The owner of the collection being merged

copyCache - The map of elements already replaced.

session - The session from which the merge event originated.

Returns:

The merged collection.

instantiateResult

protected java.lang.Object instantiateResult(java.lang.Object original)

Instantiate a new "underlying" collection exhibiting the same capacity charactersitcs and the passed "original".

Parameters:

original - The original collection.

Returns:

The newly instantiated collection.

instantiate

public abstract java.lang.Object instantiate(int anticipatedSize)

Instantiate an empty instance of the "underlying" collection (not a wrapper), but with the given anticipated size (i.e. accounting for initial capacity and perhaps load factor).

Parameters:

anticipatedSize - The anticipated size of the instaniated collection after we are done populating it.

Returns:

A newly instantiated collection to be wrapped.

replace

public java.lang.Object replace(java.lang.Object original,
                       java.lang.Object target,
                       SessionImplementor session,
                       java.lang.Object owner,
                       java.util.Map copyCache)
                         throws HibernateException

During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging. For immutable objects, or null values, it is safe to simply return the first parameter. For mutable objects, it is safe to return a copy of the first parameter. For objects with component values, it might make sense to recursively replace component values.

Specified by:

replace in interface Type

Parameters:

original - the value from the detached entity being merged

target - the value in the managed entity

Returns:

the value to be merged

Throws:

HibernateException

getElementType

Get the Hibernate type of the collection elements

Parameters:

Returns:

The type of the collection elements

Throws:

MappingException - Indicates the underlying persister could not be located.
