setContainingClassDescriptor
Description copied from interface:FieldDescriptor
Set the class descriptor which contains this field.- Specified by:
setContainingClassDescriptor
in interfaceFieldDescriptor
- Parameters:
parent
- The class descriptor which contains this field.- See Also:
-
getContainingClassDescriptor
Description copied from interface:FieldDescriptor
Get the class descriptor which contains this field.- Specified by:
getContainingClassDescriptor
in interfaceFieldDescriptor
- Returns:
- The class descriptor which contains this field.
- See Also:
-
setFieldName
Set the name of the field.- Parameters:
fieldName
- Field name.
-
getFieldName
Description copied from interface:FieldDescriptor
Returns the name of the field. The field must have a name, even if set through accessor methods.- Specified by:
getFieldName
in interfaceFieldDescriptor
- Returns:
- Field name.
- See Also:
-
setFieldType
Set the type of the field.- Parameters:
fieldType
- Field type.
-
getFieldType
Description copied from interface:FieldDescriptor
Returns the Java type of the field.- Specified by:
getFieldType
in interfaceFieldDescriptor
- Returns:
- Field type.
- See Also:
-
setClassDescriptor
Set the ClassDescriptor for the described field.- Parameters:
classDescriptor
- The ClassDescriptor for the described field.
-
getClassDescriptor
Description copied from interface:FieldDescriptor
Returns the class descriptor related to the field type. If the field type is a class for which a descriptor exists, this descriptor is returned. If the field type is a class for which no mapping is provided, null is returned.- Specified by:
getClassDescriptor
in interfaceFieldDescriptor
- Returns:
- The class descriptor of the field type, or null.
- See Also:
-
setHandler
Set the FieldHandler for the field being described by this FieldDescriptor.- Parameters:
handler
- The FieldHandler for the field being described.
-
getHandler
Description copied from interface:FieldDescriptor
Returns the handler of the field. In order to persist or marshal a field descriptor will be associated with a handler.- Specified by:
getHandler
in interfaceFieldDescriptor
- Returns:
- The field handler.
- See Also:
-
setTransient
public final void setTransient(boolean isTransient) Sets whether or not the describled field is 'transient'.- Parameters:
isTransient
- The flag indicating if the described field is 'transient'.
-
isTransient
public final boolean isTransient()Description copied from interface:FieldDescriptor
Returns true if the field is transient. Transient fields are never persisted or marshalled.- Specified by:
isTransient
in interfaceFieldDescriptor
- Returns:
- True if transient field.
- See Also:
-
setImmutable
public final void setImmutable(boolean immutable) Set the immutable flag which indicates that changes to this Field result in a new Object to be created, such as java.lang.String. It serves to identify fields which should not be constructed until all the data is available.- Parameters:
immutable
- Flag which if true indicates that the field is immutable.
-
isImmutable
public final boolean isImmutable()Description copied from interface:FieldDescriptor
Returns true if the field type is immutable.- Specified by:
isImmutable
in interfaceFieldDescriptor
- Returns:
- True if the field type is immutable.
- See Also:
-
setRequired
public final void setRequired(boolean required) Set whether or not the described field is required.- Parameters:
required
- The flag indicating whether or not the described field is required.
-
isRequired
public final boolean isRequired()Description copied from interface:FieldDescriptor
Returns true if the field type is required.- Specified by:
isRequired
in interfaceFieldDescriptor
- Returns:
- True if the field type is required.
- See Also:
-
setMultivalued
public final void setMultivalued(boolean multivalued) Set wheter the object described by this descriptor is multivalued or not.- Parameters:
multivalued
- True if the object described by this descriptor is multivalued.
-
isMultivalued
public final boolean isMultivalued()Description copied from interface:FieldDescriptor
Returns true if the field is multivalued (a collection).- Specified by:
isMultivalued
in interfaceFieldDescriptor

-
setIdentity
public final void setIdentity(boolean identity) Set wether the described field is part of the identity of the class it belongs to.- Parameters:
identity
-true
if field is part of the classes identity.
-
isIdentity
public final boolean isIdentity()Is the described field is part of the identity of the class it belongs to?- Returns:
true
if field is part of the classes identity.
-
getProperty
