Constructor Summary

PreferredConstructor(Constructor<T> constructor, PreferredConstructor.Parameter<Object,P>... parameters)
Creates a new PreferredConstructor from the given Constructor and PreferredConstructor.Parameters.

Method Summary

Constructor<T>	getConstructor() Returns the underlying Constructor.
Iterable<PreferredConstructor.Parameter<Object,P>>	getParameters() Returns the PreferredConstructor.Parameters of the constructor.
boolean	hasParameters() Returns whether the constructor has PreferredConstructor.Parameters.
boolean	isConstructorParameter(PersistentProperty<?> property) Returns whether the given PersistentProperty is referenced in a constructor argument of the PersistentEntity backing this PreferredConstructor.
boolean	isEnclosingClassParameter(PreferredConstructor.Parameter<?,P> parameter) Returns whether the given PreferredConstructor.Parameter is one referring to an enclosing class.
boolean	isExplicitlyAnnotated() Returns whether the constructor was explicitly selected (by PersistenceConstructor).
boolean	isNoArgConstructor() Returns whether the constructor does not have any arguments.

Constructor Detail

PreferredConstructor

public PreferredConstructor(Constructor<T> constructor,
                            PreferredConstructor.Parameter<Object,P>... parameters)

Creates a new PreferredConstructor from the given Constructor and PreferredConstructor.Parameters.

Parameters:

constructor - must not be null.

parameters - must not be null.

Method Detail

getConstructor

public Constructor<T> getConstructor()

Returns the underlying Constructor.

Returns:

getParameters

public Iterable<PreferredConstructor.Parameter<Object,P>> getParameters()

Returns the PreferredConstructor.Parameters of the constructor.

public boolean isNoArgConstructor()

Returns whether the constructor does not have any arguments.

hasParameters()

isExplicitlyAnnotated

public boolean isExplicitlyAnnotated()

Returns whether the constructor was explicitly selected (by PersistenceConstructor).

Returns:

isConstructorParameter

public boolean isConstructorParameter(PersistentProperty<?> property)

Returns whether the given PersistentProperty is referenced in a constructor argument of the PersistentEntity backing this PreferredConstructor.

Parameters:

property - must not be null.

Returns:

isEnclosingClassParameter

public boolean isEnclosingClassParameter(PreferredConstructor.Parameter<?,P> parameter)

Returns whether the given PreferredConstructor.Parameter is one referring to an enclosing class. That is in case the class this PreferredConstructor belongs to is a member class actually. If that's the case the compiler creates a first constructor argument of the enclosing class type.

Parameters:

parameter - must not be null.

Returns:
