Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
<A extends Annotation> A	findAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType) Returns the annotation found for the current AnnotationBasedPersistentProperty.
<A extends Annotation> A	findPropertyOrOwnerAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType) Looks up the annotation of the given type on the property and the owning type if no annotation can be found on it.
String	getSpelExpression() Inspects a potentially available Value annotation at the property and returns the String value of it.
boolean	isAnnotationPresent(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType) Returns whether the property carries the an annotation of the given type.
boolean	isAssociation() Considers the property an Association if it is annotated with Reference.
boolean	isIdProperty() Returns whether the property is a potential identifier property of the owning PersistentEntity.
boolean	isTransient() Considers plain transient fields, fields annotated with Transient, Value or Autowired as transien.
boolean	isVersionProperty() Returns whether the current property is a potential version property of the owning PersistentEntity.
boolean	isWritable() Returns whether the current property is writable, i.e. if the value held for it shall be written to the data store.
String	toString()
boolean	usePropertyAccess() Returns whether property access shall be used for reading the property value.

AnnotationBasedPersistentProperty

public AnnotationBasedPersistentProperty(Field field,
                                 PropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor,
                                 PersistentEntity<?,P> owner,
                                 SimpleTypeHolder simpleTypeHolder)

Creates a new AnnotationBasedPersistentProperty.

Parameters:

field - must not be null.

propertyDescriptor - can be null.

owner - must not be null.

Method Detail

getSpelExpression

public String getSpelExpression()

Inspects a potentially available Value annotation at the property and returns the String value of it.

Specified by:

getSpelExpression in interface PersistentProperty<P extends PersistentProperty<P>>

Overrides:

getSpelExpression in class AbstractPersistentProperty<P extends PersistentProperty<P>>

See Also:

AbstractPersistentProperty.getSpelExpression()

isTransient

public boolean isTransient()

Considers plain transient fields, fields annotated with Transient, Value or Autowired as transien.

Specified by:

isTransient in interface PersistentProperty<P extends PersistentProperty<P>>

Overrides:

isTransient in class AbstractPersistentProperty<P extends PersistentProperty<P>>

Returns:

BasicPersistentProperty

isIdProperty

public boolean isIdProperty()

Description copied from interface: PersistentProperty

Returns whether the property is a potential identifier property of the owning PersistentEntity. This method is mainly used by PersistentEntity implementation to discover id property candidates on PersistentEntity creation you should rather call PersistentEntity.isIdProperty(PersistentProperty) to determine whether the current property is the id property of that PersistentEntity under consideration.

Returns:

isVersionProperty

public boolean isVersionProperty()

Description copied from interface: PersistentProperty

Returns whether the current property is a potential version property of the owning PersistentEntity. This method is mainly used by PersistentEntity implementation to discover version property candidates on PersistentEntity creation you should rather call PersistentEntity.isVersionProperty(PersistentProperty) to determine whether the current property is the version property of that PersistentEntity under consideration.

Returns:

isAssociation

public boolean isAssociation()

Considers the property an Association if it is annotated with Reference.

Specified by:

isAssociation in interface PersistentProperty<P extends PersistentProperty<P>>

Overrides:

isAssociation in class AbstractPersistentProperty<P extends PersistentProperty<P>>

Returns:

isWritable

public boolean isWritable()

Description copied from interface: PersistentProperty

Returns whether the current property is writable, i.e. if the value held for it shall be written to the data store.

Specified by:

isWritable in interface PersistentProperty<P extends PersistentProperty<P>>

Overrides:

isWritable in class AbstractPersistentProperty<P extends PersistentProperty<P>>

Returns:

findAnnotation

public <A extends Annotation> A findAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType)

Returns the annotation found for the current AnnotationBasedPersistentProperty. Will prefer field annotations over ones found at getters or setters.

Parameters:

annotationType - must not be null.

Returns:

See Also:

AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation(Method, Class)

findPropertyOrOwnerAnnotation

public <A extends Annotation> A findPropertyOrOwnerAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType)

Description copied from interface: PersistentProperty

Looks up the annotation of the given type on the property and the owning type if no annotation can be found on it. Usefull to lookup annotations that can be configured on the type but overridden on an individual property.

Parameters:

annotationType - must not be null.

Returns:

isAnnotationPresent

public boolean isAnnotationPresent(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType)

Returns whether the property carries the an annotation of the given type.

Parameters:

annotationType - the annotation type to look up.

Returns:

usePropertyAccess

public boolean usePropertyAccess()

Description copied from interface: PersistentProperty

Returns whether property access shall be used for reading the property value. This means it will use the getter instead of field access.

Specified by:

usePropertyAccess in interface PersistentProperty<P extends PersistentProperty<P>>

Overrides:

usePropertyAccess in class AbstractPersistentProperty<P extends PersistentProperty<P>>

Returns:

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractPersistentProperty<P extends PersistentProperty<P>>
