Interface MappingLoader

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractMappingLoader, AbstractMappingLoader2, XMLMappingLoader

public interface MappingLoader
Provides the mapping descriptor for Java classes. The engines use resolvers to obtain the mapping descriptor for a particular Java class, or to list all the known descriptors. Although the interface is identical, each engine will use a resolver that returns class descriptor suitable for that particular engine. Resolvers are immutable and engines need not cache the returned descriptors.
