public class ObjectTypeConverter
Purpose: Object type converter is used to match a fixed number of database data values to Java object value. It can be used when the values on the database and in the Java differ. To create an object type converter, simply specify the set of conversion value pairs. A default value and one-way conversion are also supported for legacy data situations.

ObjectTypeConverter() PUBLIC: Default constructor. |
|
ObjectTypeConverter(DatabaseMapping mapping) PUBLIC: Default constructor. |
Method Summary | |
---|---|
void |
addConversionValue(java.lang.Object fieldValue, java.lang.Object attributeValue) PUBLIC: A type conversion value is a two-way mapping from the database to the object. |
void |
addToAttributeOnlyConversionValue(java.lang.Object fieldValue, java.lang.Object attributeValue) PUBLIC: An attribute only conversion value is a one-way mapping from the database to the object. |
void |
convertClassNamesToClasses(java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader) INTERNAL: Convert all the class-name-based settings in this converter to actual class-based settings. |
java.lang.Object |
convertDataValueToObjectValue(java.lang.Object fieldValue, Session session) INTERNAL: Returns the corresponding attribute value for the specified field value. |
java.lang.Object |
convertObjectValueToDataValue(java.lang.Object attributeValue, Session session) INTERNAL: Convert to the data value. |
java.util.Map |
getAttributeToFieldValues() INTERNAL: Get the attribute to field mapping. |
java.lang.Object |
getDefaultAttributeValue() PUBLIC: The default value can be used if the database can possibly store additional values then those that have been mapped. |
java.lang.Class |
getFieldClassification() INTERNAL: Get the type of the field value to allow conversion from the database. |
java.lang.Class |
getFieldClassification(org.eclipse.persistence.internal.helper.DatabaseField fieldToClassify) INTERNAL: Return the classifiction for the field contained in the mapping. |
java.lang.String |
getFieldClassificationName() |
java.util.Vector |
getFieldToAttributeValueAssociations() INTERNAL: Return a collection of the field to attribute value associations. |
java.util.Map |
getFieldToAttributeValues() INTERNAL: Get the field to attribute mapping. |
protected DatabaseMapping |
getMapping() INTERNAL: Return the mapping. |
void |
initialize(DatabaseMapping mapping, Session session) INTERNAL: Set the mapping. |
void |
initializeFieldClassification(Session session) INTERNAL: Set the field classification through searching the fields map. |
boolean |
isMutable() INTERNAL: If the converter converts the value to a non-atomic value, i.e. |
void |
mapBooleans() PUBLIC: This is a very specific protocol which maps fieldValues "T" and "F" to true and false respectively. |
void |
mapGenders() PUBLIC: This is a very specific protocol which maps fieldValues "F" and "M" to "Female" and "Male" respectively. |
void |
mapResponses() PUBLIC: This is a very specific protocol which maps fieldValues "Y" and "N" to "Yes" and "No" respectively. |
void |
setAttributeToFieldValues(java.util.Map attributeToFieldValues) INTERNAL: Set the attribute to field mapping. |
void |
setDefaultAttributeValue(java.lang.Object defaultAttributeValue) PUBLIC: The default value can be used if the database can possibly store additional values then those that have been mapped. |
void |
setFieldClassification(java.lang.Class fieldClassification) INTERNAL: Set the type of the field value to allow conversion from the database. |
void |
setFieldClassificationName(java.lang.String fieldClassificationName) |
void |
setFieldToAttributeValueAssociations(java.util.Vector fieldToAttributeValueAssociations) INTERNAL: Set a collection of the field to attribute value associations. |
void |
setFieldToAttributeValues(java.util.Map fieldToAttributeValues) INTERNAL: Set the field to attribute mapping. |
protected void |
setMapping(DatabaseMapping mapping) INTERNAL: Set the mapping. |
