Interface BytecodeProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

BytecodeProviderImpl, BytecodeProviderImpl

public interface BytecodeProvider

Contract for providers of bytecode services to Hibernate.

Bytecode requirements break down into the following areas

1. proxy generation (both for runtime-lazy-loading and basic proxy generation) getProxyFactoryFactory()
2. bean reflection optimization getReflectionOptimizer(java.lang.Class, java.lang.String[], java.lang.String[], java.lang.Class[])

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Enhancer	getEnhancer(EnhancementContext enhancementContext) Returns a byte code enhancer that implements the enhancements described in the supplied enhancement context.
ProxyFactoryFactory	getProxyFactoryFactory() Retrieve the specific factory for this provider capable of generating run-time proxies for lazy-loading purposes.
ReflectionOptimizer	getReflectionOptimizer(java.lang.Class clazz, java.lang.String[] getterNames, java.lang.String[] setterNames, java.lang.Class[] types) Retrieve the ReflectionOptimizer delegate for this provider capable of generating reflection optimization components.

Method Detail

getProxyFactoryFactory

ProxyFactoryFactory getProxyFactoryFactory()

Retrieve the specific factory for this provider capable of generating run-time proxies for lazy-loading purposes.

Returns:

The provider specific factory.

getReflectionOptimizer

ReflectionOptimizer getReflectionOptimizer(java.lang.Class clazz,
                                           java.lang.String[] getterNames,
                                           java.lang.String[] setterNames,
                                           java.lang.Class[] types)

Retrieve the ReflectionOptimizer delegate for this provider capable of generating reflection optimization components.

Parameters:

clazz - The class to be reflected upon.

getterNames - Names of all property getters to be accessed via reflection.

setterNames - Names of all property setters to be accessed via reflection.

types - The types of all properties to be accessed.

Returns:

The reflection optimization delegate.

getEnhancer

Enhancer getEnhancer(EnhancementContext enhancementContext)

Returns a byte code enhancer that implements the enhancements described in the supplied enhancement context.

Parameters:

enhancementContext - The enhancement context that describes the enhancements to apply.

Returns:

An enhancer to perform byte code manipulations.
