Class ComplexTypeMetadata

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.metadata.ORMetadata

org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.metadata.queries.ComplexTypeMetadata

Direct Known Subclasses:

OracleComplexTypeMetadata, PLSQLComplexTypeMetadata

public abstract class ComplexTypeMetadata
extends ORMetadata

INTERNAL: Object to hold onto complex type meta-data, including PL/SQL records and collections, as well as advanced Oracle JDBC types. Key notes: - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be compared in the equals method. - all metadata mapped from XML should be initialized in the initXMLObject method. - when loading from annotations, the constructor accepts the metadata accessor this metadata was loaded from. Used it to look up any 'companion' annotation needed for processing. - methods should be preserved in alphabetical order.

Since:

EclipseLink 2.5
