Class FieldDescriptorJDONature

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Nature

    public class FieldDescriptorJDONature
    extends BaseNature
    JDO-specific nature for FieldDescriptor.

    Augments FieldDescriptor to include persistence-specific data such as e.g. the column names, types and other SQL-related information.

    To access persistence-specific data of a FieldDescriptor, use the following code fragment to ...
    1. check for this nature
    2. apply this nature to the FieldDescriptor in question.
    3. access e.g. the column name.
    Sample - Looking up column name
        FieldDescriptor fieldDescriptor = ...;                                               
        ...
        if (fieldDescriptor.hasNature(FieldDescriptorJDONature.class.getName()) {              1)
           FieldDescriptorJDONature nature = new FieldDescriptorJDONature(fieldDescriptor);    2)
           ...
           String columnName = nature.getColumnName;                                           3)
        }
