public Class getJavaType()

Description copied from class: JavaTypeMapping

Accessor for the java type being mapped. This is the java type that the mapping represents. Some examples :

• if the field is of type "MyClass" then the mapping will be OIDMapping (or subclass) the javaType will be OID, and the type will be MyClass.
• if the field is of type "int" then the mapping will be IntegerMapping, the javaType will be Integer, and the type will be int.

The "java type" is the java-type name used in the plugin.xml mapping file

Specified by:

getJavaType in class JavaTypeMapping

Returns:

The java type

getDefaultLength

public int getDefaultLength(int index)

Method to return the default length of this type in the datastore. Character(char will need a single character!

Overrides:

getDefaultLength in class SingleFieldMapping
