Method Detail

useProxyIndirection

public void useProxyIndirection()

PUBLIC: Set this mapping to use Proxy Indirection. Proxy Indirection uses the Proxy and InvocationHandler features of JDK 1.3 to provide "transparent indirection" for 1:1 relationships. In order to use Proxy Indirection:

• The target class must implement at least one public interface
• The attribute on the source class must be typed as that public interface
• get() and set() methods for the atttribute must use the interface

With this policy, proxy objects are returned during object creation. When a message other than toString is called on the proxy the real object data is retrieved from the database. By default, use the target class' full list of interfaces for the proxy.
