org.apache.cayenne.access.types.ExtendedTypeMap
Stores ExtendedTypes, implementing an algorithm to determine the right type
for a given Java class. See
getRegisteredType(String)

ExtendedTypeMap
public ExtendedTypeMap()Creates new ExtendedTypeMap, populating it with default JDBC-compatible types. If JDK version is at least 1.5, also loads support for enumerated types.

Method Details
-
initDefaultFactories
protected void initDefaultFactories()Registers default factories for creating enum types and serializable types. Note that user-defined factories are consulted before any default factory.- Since:
- 3.0
-
addFactory
Adds an ExtendedTypeFactory that will be consulted if no direct mapping for a given class exists. This feature can be used to map interfaces.Note that the order in which factories are added is important, as factories are consulted in turn when an ExtendedType is looked up, and lookup is stopped when any factory provides a non-null type.
- Since:
- 1.2
-
removeFactory
Removes a factory from the registered factories if it was previously added.- Since:
- 1.2
-
registerType
Adds a new type to the list of registered types. If there is another type registered for a class described by thetype
argument, the old handler is overridden by the new one. -
getDefaultType
Returns a default ExtendedType that is used to handle unmapped types. -
getRegisteredType
Returns a guaranteed non-null ExtendedType instance for a given Java class name. Primitive class names are internally replaced by the non-primitive counterparts. The following lookup sequence is used to determine the type:- First the methods checks for an ExtendedType explicitly registered with the map for a given class name (most common types are registered by Cayenne internally; users can register their own).
- Second, the method tries to obtain a type by iterating through
ExtendedTypeFactory
instances registered by users. If a factory returns a non-null type, it is returned to the user and the rest of the factories are ignored. - Third, the method iterates through standard
ExtendedTypeFactory
instances that can dynamically construct extended types for serializable objects and JDK 1.5 enums. - If all the methods above failed, the default type is returned that relies on default JDBC driver mapping to set and get objects.
-
getRegisteredType
Returns a type registered for the class name. If no such type exists, returns the default type. It is guaranteed that this method returns a non-null ExtendedType instance. -
unregisterType
Removes registered ExtendedType object corresponding tojavaClassName
parameter. -
getRegisteredTypeNames
Returns array of Java class names supported by Cayenne for JDBC mapping. -
createType
Returns an ExtendedType for specific Java classes. Uses user-provided and Cayenne-providedExtendedTypeFactory
factories to instantiate the ExtendedType. All primitive classes must be converted to the corresponding Java classes by the callers.- Returns:
- a default type for a given class or null if a class has no default type mapping.
- Since:
- 1.2
-
canonicalizedTypeName
For the class name returns a name "canonicalized" for the purpose of ExtendedType lookup.- Since:
- 4.0
