Package org.eclipse.persistence.mappings

Interface Summary

ContainerMapping	Interface used by clients to interact with the assorted mappings that use ContainerPolicy.
EmbeddableMapping	INTERNAL Common interface to those mappings that are used to map JPA Embedded objects
RelationalMapping	INTERNAL All mappings which can be added to org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.Descriptor must implement this interface.

Class Summary

AggregateCollectionMapping	Purpose: The aggregate collection mapping is used to represent the aggregate relationship between a single source object and a collection of target objects.
AggregateMapping	Purpose: Two objects can be considered to be related by aggregation if there is a strict 1:1 relationship between the objects.
AggregateObjectMapping	Purpose:Two objects can be considered to be related by aggregation if there is a strict 1:1 relationship between the objects.
Association	Purpose: Generic association object.
AttributeAccessor	Purpose: This provides an abstract class for setting and retrieving the attribute value for the mapping from an object.
CollectionMapping	Purpose: Abstract class for relationship mappings which store collection of objects
DatabaseMapping	Purpose: Defines how an attribute of an object maps to and from the database Responsibilities: Define type of relationship (1:1/1:M/M:M/etc.)
DirectCollectionMapping	Purpose: This mapping is used to store a collection of simple types (String, Number, Date, etc.)
DirectMapMapping	Mapping for a collection of key-value pairs.
DirectToFieldMapping	Purpose: Maps an attribute to the corresponding database field type.
ForeignReferenceMapping	Purpose: Abstract class for relationship mappings
ManyToManyMapping	Purpose: Many to many mappings are used to represent the relationships between a collection of source objects and a collection of target objects.
ManyToOneMapping	Purpose: Define the relationship to be a ManyToOne.
ObjectReferenceMapping	Purpose: Abstract class for 1:1, variable 1:1 and reference mappings
OneToManyMapping	Purpose: This mapping is used to represent the typical RDBMS relationship between a single source object and collection of target objects; where, on the database, the target objects have references (foreign keys) to the source object.
OneToOneMapping	Purpose: One to one mappings are used to represent a pointer references between two java objects.
PropertyAssociation	Purpose: Generic association object.
RelationTableMechanism	Purpose: Contains relation table functionality that was originally defined in ManyToManyMapping and now is shared with OneToOneMapping.
TransformationMapping	Purpose: A transformation mapping is used for a specialized translation between how a value is represented in Java and its representation on the databae.
TypedAssociation	Purpose: Generic association object.
UnidirectionalOneToManyMapping	Purpose: UnidirectionalOneToManyMapping doesn't have 1:1 back reference mapping.
VariableOneToOneMapping	Purpose: Variable one to one mappings are used to represent a pointer references between a java object and an implementer of an interface.
