public interface RelationalReference

Interface for metadata required to persist associations. Associations among classes require certain metadata for persistence:

• containingEntity: provides foreign key information to containing entity bean
• classID: identifies a subclass in the database. Used to persist subclasses in a single collection or map

Method Summary

String	get__classIdentifier() Get relation identifier for this object (used to persist subclasses in a single collection or map)
Belonging	get__containingBelonging() Get foreign key information about the bean that contains this object
EJBObject	get__containingEntity() Get foreign key information about the bean that contains this object
Object	get__mapKey() get map key
Long	get__sequenceNumber() Get the sequencer number
void	set__containingBelonging(Belonging belonging) Provides foreign key information about the bean that contains this object
void	set__containingEntity(EJBObject containingEntity) Provides foreign key information about the bean that contains this object
void	set__mapKey(Object mapKey) Provides map key information

Method Detail

set__mapKey

void set__mapKey(Object mapKey)

Parameters

mapKey - the key if this object is used in a map

get__mapKey

Object get__mapKey()

get map key

Returns

the mak key

Throws

ClassCastException - source object is not an instance of the remote interface of the containing class.

set__containingEntity
