Interface Tuplizer

@Deprecated public interface Tuplizer
Deprecated.
See ManagedTypeRepresentationStrategy
A tuplizer defines the contract for things which know how to manage a particular representation of a piece of data, given that representation's RepresentationMode (the entity-mode essentially defining which representation).

If that given piece of data is thought of as a data structure, then a tuplizer is the thing which knows how to

  • create such a data structure appropriately
  • extract values from and inject values into such a data structure

For example, a given piece of data might be represented as a POJO class. Here, it's representation and entity-mode is POJO. Well a tuplizer for POJO entity-modes would know how to

  • create the data structure by calling the POJO's constructor
  • extract and inject values through getters/setter, or by direct field access, etc

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    Getter
    getGetter(int i)
    Deprecated.
    Retrieve the getter for the specified property.
    Class<?>
    getMappedClass()
    Deprecated.
    Return the pojo class managed by this tuplizer.
    Object
    getPropertyValue(Object entity, int i)
    Deprecated.

  • Method Details

    • getPropertyValue

      Object getPropertyValue(Object entity, int i)
      Deprecated.
      Extract the value of a particular property from the given entity.
      Parameters:
      entity - The entity from which to extract the property value.
      i - The index of the property for which to extract the value.
      Returns:
      The current value of the given property on the given entity.

    • getMappedClass

      Class<?> getMappedClass()
      Deprecated.
      Return the pojo class managed by this tuplizer.

      Need to determine how to best handle this for the Tuplizers for EntityModes other than POJO.

      todo : be really nice to not have this here since it is essentially pojo specific...

      Returns:
      The persistent class.

    • getGetter

      Getter getGetter(int i)
      Deprecated.
      Retrieve the getter for the specified property.
      Parameters:
      i - The property index.
      Returns:
      The property getter.
