Method Detail

getReturnedClass

public Class getReturnedClass()

Description copied from interface: Type

The class returned by Type.nullSafeGet(java.sql.ResultSet, java.lang.String[], org.hibernate.engine.SessionImplementor, java.lang.Object) methods. This is used to establish the class of an array of this type.

Returns:

The java type class handled by this type.

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: Type

Returns the abbreviated name of the type.

Returns:

String the Hibernate type name

isMutable

public boolean isMutable()

Description copied from interface: Type

Are objects of this type mutable. (With respect to the referencing object ... entities and collections are considered immutable because they manage their own internal state.)

Returns:

boolean

nullSafeGet

public Object nullSafeGet(ResultSet rs,
                          String[] names,
                          SessionImplementor session,

                          SQLException

Description copied from interface: Type

Retrieve an instance of the mapped class from a JDBC resultset. Implementors should handle possibility of null values.

names - the column names

owner - the parent entity

Returns:

Object

Throws:

HibernateException

SQLException

owner - the parent entity

Returns:

Object

Throws:

HibernateException

SQLException

nullSafeSet

public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st,
                        Object value,

                        SQLException

Description copied from interface: Type

Write an instance of the mapped class to a prepared statement, ignoring some columns. Implementors should handle possibility of null values. A multi-column type should be written to parameters starting from index.

value - the object to write

index - statement parameter index

settable - an array indicating which columns to ignore

Throws:

HibernateException

SQLException

nullSafeSet

public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st,

                        SessionImplementor session)
                 throws HibernateException,
                        SQLException

Description copied from interface: Type

Write an instance of the mapped class to a prepared statement. Implementors should handle possibility of null values. A multi-column type should be written to parameters starting from index.

index - statement parameter index

Throws:

HibernateException

SQLException

deepCopy

public Object deepCopy(Object value,
                       EntityMode entityMode,
                       SessionFactoryImplementor factory)
                throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

Return a deep copy of the persistent state, stopping at entities and at collections.

Parameters:

value - generally a collection element or entity field

Returns:

replace

public Object replace(Object original,
                      Object target,
                      SessionImplementor session,
                      Object owner,
                      Map copyCache)
               throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging. For immutable objects, or null values, it is safe to simply return the first parameter. For mutable objects, it is safe to return a copy of the first parameter. For objects with component values, it might make sense to recursively replace component values.

Parameters:

original - the value from the detached entity being merged

target - the value in the managed entity

Returns:

the value to be merged

Throws:

HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

Given an instance of the type, return an array of boolean, indicating which mapped columns would be null.

Parameters:

value - an instance of the type

                       SessionImplementor session)
                throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type
