Method Detail

allowElementJoin

public boolean allowElementJoin()

Description copied from interface: CollectionReference

Should a collection element join be allowed? Returning true indicates that an element join can safely be added.

Specified by:

allowElementJoin in interface CollectionReference

Returns:

true, if a collection index join is allowed.

allowIndexJoin

public boolean allowIndexJoin()

Description copied from interface: CollectionReference

Should a collection index join be allowed? Returning true indicates that an index join can safely be added.

Specified by:

allowIndexJoin in interface CollectionReference

Returns:

true, if a collection index join is allowed.

getQuerySpaceUid

public java.lang.String getQuerySpaceUid()

Description copied from interface: CollectionReference

Obtain the UID of the QuerySpace (specifically a CollectionQuerySpace) that this CollectionReference refers to.

Specified by:

getQuerySpaceUid in interface CollectionReference

Returns:

The UID

getCollectionPersister

public CollectionPersister getCollectionPersister()

Description copied from interface: CollectionReference

Retrieves the CollectionPersister describing the collection associated with this CollectionReference.

Specified by:

getCollectionPersister in interface CollectionReference

Returns:

The CollectionPersister.

getIndexGraph

public CollectionFetchableIndex getIndexGraph()

Description copied from interface: CollectionReference

Retrieve the metadata about the index of this collection *as a FetchSource*. Will return null when:

• the collection is not indexed
• the index is not a composite, entity, or "any" (cannot act as a FetchSource)

Works only for map keys, since a List index (int type) cannot act as a FetchSource.

Specified by:

getIndexGraph in interface CollectionReference

Returns:

The collection index metadata as a FetchSource, or null.

getElementGraph

public CollectionFetchableElement getElementGraph()

Description copied from interface: CollectionReference

Retrieve the metadata about the elements of this collection *as a FetchSource*. Will return null when the element is not a composite, entity, or "any" (cannot act as a FetchSource). Works only for map keys, since a List index cannot be anything other than an int which cannot be a FetchSource.

Specified by:

getElementGraph in interface CollectionReference

Returns:

The collection element metadata as a FetchSource, or null.

getPropertyPath

public PropertyPath getPropertyPath()

Description copied from interface: CollectionReference

Retrieve the PropertyPath to this reference.

Specified by:

getPropertyPath in interface CollectionReference

Returns:

The PropertyPath
