Constructor Details

PreferredConstructor

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

Creates a new PreferredConstructor from the given Constructor and Parameters.

Parameters:

constructor - must not be null.

parameters - must not be null.

Method Details

getConstructor

public Constructor<T> getConstructor()

Returns the underlying Constructor.

Returns:

isNoArgConstructor

public boolean isNoArgConstructor()

Returns whether the constructor does not have any arguments.

Returns:

• InstanceCreatorMetadata.hasParameters()

isExplicitlyAnnotated

public boolean isExplicitlyAnnotated()

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

Returns:

isConstructorParameter

@Deprecated
public boolean isConstructorParameter(PersistentProperty<?> property)

Deprecated.

since 3.0, use InstanceCreatorMetadata.isCreatorParameter(PersistentProperty) instead.

Parameters:

property -

Returns:

isParentParameter

public boolean isParentParameter(Parameter<?,P> parameter)

Description copied from interface: InstanceCreatorMetadata

Returns whether the given Parameter is one referring to parent value (such as an enclosing class or a receiver parameter).

Returns:

isEnclosingClassParameter

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

Returns whether the given 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:

true if the PersistentProperty maps to the enclosing class.

getParameters

public List<Parameter<Object,P>> getParameters()

Returns the Parameters of the executable.

Specified by:

getParameters in interface InstanceCreatorMetadata<T>

Returns:

isCreatorParameter

public boolean isCreatorParameter(PersistentProperty<?> property)

Returns whether the given PersistentProperty is referenced in a creator argument of the PersistentEntity backing this InstanceCreatorMetadataSupport.

Results of this call are cached and reused on the next invocation. Calling this method for a PersistentProperty that was not yet added to its owning PersistentEntity will capture that state and return the same result after adding PersistentProperty to its entity.

Specified by:

isCreatorParameter in interface InstanceCreatorMetadata<T>

Parameters:

property - must not be null.

Returns:

true if the PersistentProperty is used in the creator.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
