Enum Action

java.lang.Enum<Action>

org.hibernate.tool.schema.Action

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Action>

public enum Action
extends Enum<Action>

The allowable actions in terms of schema tooling. Covers the unified JPA and HBM2DDL cases.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
CREATE Database dropping will be generated followed by database creation.
CREATE_DROP Drop the schema and recreate it on SessionFactory startup.
CREATE_ONLY Database creation will be generated.
DROP Database dropping will be generated.
NONE No action will be performed.
UPDATE "update" (Hibernate only) - update (alter) the database schema
VALIDATE "validate" (Hibernate only) - validate the database schema

Method Summary

static Action	interpretJpaSetting(Object value) Used when processing JPA configuration to interpret the user config values.
String	toString()
static Action	valueOf(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.

Enum Constant Detail

NONE

public static final Action NONE

No action will be performed. Valid in JPA; compatible with Hibernate's hbm2ddl action of the same name..

CREATE_ONLY

public static final Action CREATE_ONLY

Database creation will be generated. This is an action introduced by JPA. Hibernate's legacy hbm2ddl had no such action - its "create" action is actually equivalent to CREATE

Corresponds to a call to SchemaCreator

DROP

public static final Action DROP

Database dropping will be generated.

Corresponds to a call to SchemaDropper

CREATE

public static final Action CREATE

Database dropping will be generated followed by database creation.

Corresponds to a call to SchemaDropper followed immediately by a call to SchemaCreator

CREATE_DROP

public static final Action CREATE_DROP

Drop the schema and recreate it on SessionFactory startup. Additionally, drop the schema on SessionFactory shutdown.

Has no corresponding call to a SchemaManagementTool delegate. It is equivalent to a

While this is a valid option for auto schema tooling, it is not a valid action to pass to SchemaManagementTool; instead it would be expected that the caller to SchemaManagementTool would split this into 2 separate requests for:

1. CREATE
2. DROP

VALIDATE

public static final Action VALIDATE

"validate" (Hibernate only) - validate the database schema

UPDATE

public static final Action UPDATE

"update" (Hibernate only) - update (alter) the database schema

Method Detail

values

public static Action[] 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 (Action c : Action.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static Action 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

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<Action>

interpretJpaSetting

public static Action interpretJpaSetting(Object value)

Used when processing JPA configuration to interpret the user config values. Generally this will be a value specified by AvailableSettings.HBM2DDL_DATABASE_ACTION or AvailableSettings.HBM2DDL_SCRIPTS_ACTION

Parameters:

value - The encountered config value

Returns:

The matching enum value. An empty value will return NONE.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the incoming value is unrecognized

interpretHbm2ddlSetting

public static Action interpretHbm2ddlSetting(Object value)

Used to interpret the value of AvailableSettings.HBM2DDL_AUTO

Parameters:

value - The encountered config value

Returns:

The matching enum value. An empty value will return NONE.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the incoming value is unrecognized
