Field Detail

element

protected org.datanucleus.metadata.ContainerComponent element

Representation of the element of the array.

mayContainPersistableElements

protected boolean mayContainPersistableElements

wether this array may contain persistable elements

Constructor Detail

ArrayMetaData

public ArrayMetaData(ArrayMetaData arrmd)

Constructor to create a copy of the passed metadata.

Parameters:

arrmd - The metadata to copy

ArrayMetaData

public ArrayMetaData()

Default constructor. Set the fields using setters, before populate().

Method Detail

populate

public void populate(ClassLoaderResolver clr,
                     ClassLoader primary)

Method to populate any defaults, and check the validity of the MetaData.

Parameters:

clr - ClassLoaderResolver to use in loading any classes

primary - the primary ClassLoader to use (or null)

elementIsPersistent

public boolean elementIsPersistent()

getElementClassMetaData

public AbstractClassMetaData getElementClassMetaData(ClassLoaderResolver clr)

Convenience accessor for the Element ClassMetaData.

Parameters:

clr - ClassLoader resolver (in case we need to initialise it)

Returns:

element ClassMetaData

mayContainPersistableElements

public boolean mayContainPersistableElements()

Returns whether this array may contain persistable elements (as indicated by the user). TODO Remove this. The element-type of the array defines such things and this is not the solution

Returns:

whether this array may contain persistable elements

isEmbeddedElement

public boolean isEmbeddedElement()

Accessor for the embedded-element value

Returns:

embedded-element value

isSerializedElement

public boolean isSerializedElement()

Accessor for the serialized-element tag value

Returns:

serialized-element tag value

isDependentElement

public boolean isDependentElement()

Accessor for The dependent-element attribute indicates that the collection's element contains a reference that is to be deleted if the referring instance is deleted.

Returns:

dependent-element tag value

getElementType

public String getElementType()

Accessor for the element implementation types (when element is a reference type).

Returns:

element implementation types

getElementTypes

public String[] getElementTypes()

setElementType

public ArrayMetaData setElementType(String type)

setEmbeddedElement

public ArrayMetaData setEmbeddedElement(boolean embedded)

setSerializedElement

public ArrayMetaData setSerializedElement(boolean serialized)

setDependentElement

public ArrayMetaData setDependentElement(boolean dependent)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
