Description copied from interface: Type

During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging. For immutable objects, or null values, it is safe to simply return the first parameter. For mutable objects, it is safe to return a copy of the first parameter. For objects with component values, it might make sense to recursively replace component values.

Parameters:

original - the value from the detached entity being merged

target - the value in the managed entity

session - The originating session

owner - The owner of the value

copyCache - The cache of already copied/replaced values

Returns:

the value to be merged

isMutable

public boolean isMutable()

Description copied from interface: Type

Are objects of this type mutable. (With respect to the referencing object ... entities and collections are considered immutable because they manage their own internal state.)

Returns:

boolean

toColumnNullness

public boolean[] toColumnNullness(Object value,
                                  Mapping mapping)

Description copied from interface: Type

Given an instance of the type, return an array of boolean, indicating which mapped columns would be null.

Parameters:

value - an instance of the type

mapping - The mapping abstraction

Returns:

array indicating column nullness for a value instance

                       SharedSessionContractImplementor session)
                throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

Should the parent be considered dirty, given both the old and current value?

Parameters:

old - the old value

current - the current value

checkable - An array of booleans indicating which columns making up the value are actually checkable

session - The session from which the request originated.

Returns:

true if the field is dirty
