The persistent attributes are read using field access.

METHOD

public static final AccessStyle METHOD

The persistent attributes are read using method access.

Method Detail

values

public static AccessStyle[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (AccessStyle c : AccessStyle.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static AccessStyle valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getStyle

public static AccessStyle getStyle(javax.persistence.AccessType type)

Determines the correct mapping to the style for the given accesstype.

Parameters:

type - the access type as defined in an Access annotation.

Returns:

the matching style

getDeclaredAttributes

public abstract <E> Iterable<AttributeAccessor> getDeclaredAttributes(Class<E> inspectedClass,
                                                                      Class<? extends E> implementationClass)

Finds all attributes of the current access type that are referenced in the given class.

Parameters:

inspectedClass - the class to inspect

implementationClass - the class that is actually the type of the object, either inspectedClass or a sub class - necessary for resolving generics

Returns:

all non static attributes found in the given class
