Method Detail

getCanonicalName

protected static java.lang.String getCanonicalName(java.lang.String name,
                                                   java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> properties)

INTERNAL: Return the canonical name. This will apply the prefix and suffix qualifiers given to the canonical name. If the given prefix is null, the the default "" is applied. If the given suffix is null, then the default "_" will be applied.

getClassForName

public static java.lang.Class getClassForName(java.lang.String classname,
                                              java.lang.ClassLoader loader)

INTERNAL: Load a class from a given class name. (XMLEntityMappings calls this one)

getName

public static java.lang.String getName(java.lang.String name,
                                       java.lang.String defaultName,
                                       java.lang.String context,
                                       MetadataLogger logger,
                                       java.lang.Object location)

INTERNAL: Helper method to return a field name from a candidate field name and a default field name. Requires the context from where this method is called to output the correct logging message when defaulting the field name. In some cases, both the name and defaultName could be "" or null, therefore, don't log a message and return name.

getQualifiedCanonicalName

public static java.lang.String getQualifiedCanonicalName(java.lang.String qualifiedName,
                                                         AbstractSession session)

INTERNAL: Return the qualified canonical name of the given qualified class name. This method will check the session for a corresponding class that was processed during deploy. If one is not found, will build the canonical name applying any default package and the default suffix qualifier "_".

getValue

public static java.lang.Integer getValue(java.lang.Integer value,
                                         java.lang.Integer defaultValue)

INTERNAL: Helper method to return a string value if specified, otherwise returns the default value.

getValue

public static java.lang.String getValue(java.lang.String value,
                                        java.lang.String defaultValue)

INTERNAL: Helper method to return a string value if specified, otherwise returns the default value.
