Interface JavaAttributeMappingProvider

All Known Subinterfaces:
DefaultJavaAttributeMappingProvider

public interface JavaAttributeMappingProvider

Map a string key to a type mapping and its corresponding Java annotation adapter. Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

JavaAttributeMapping buildMapping(JavaPersistentAttribute parent,
                                  JpaFactory factory)
Create an JavaAttributeMapping for the given attribute. Use the JpaFactory for creation so that extenders can create their own JpaFactory instead of creating their own JavaAttributeMappingProvider.
