Interface MetadataSourceProcessor

public interface MetadataSourceProcessor
Defines the steps in processing metadata sources. The steps are performed in a prerequisite series across all sources. For example, the basic requirement is custom types, so processTypeDefinitions() is performed first across all sources to build a complete set of types. Then the next steps can be performed.

  • Method Details

    • prepare

      void prepare()
      A general preparation step. Called first.

    • processTypeDefinitions

      void processTypeDefinitions()
      Process all custom Type definitions. This step has no prerequisites.

    • processQueryRenames

      void processQueryRenames()
      Process all explicit query renames (imports). This step has no prerequisites.

    • processNamedQueries

      void processNamedQueries()
      Process all "root" named queries. These are named queries not defined on a specific entity (which will be handled later during processEntityHierarchies(Set)).

      This step has no prerequisites. The returns associated with named native queries can depend on entity binding being complete, but those are handled later during processResultSetMappings().

    • processAuxiliaryDatabaseObjectDefinitions

      void processAuxiliaryDatabaseObjectDefinitions()
      Process all AuxiliaryDatabaseObject definitions.

      This step has no prerequisites.

    • processIdentifierGenerators

      void processIdentifierGenerators()
      Process all custom identifier generator declarations,

      Depends on processTypeDefinitions()

    • processFilterDefinitions

      void processFilterDefinitions()
      Process all filter definitions.

      This step depends on processTypeDefinitions()

    • processFetchProfiles

      void processFetchProfiles()
      Process all fetch profiles.

      todo : does this step depend on any others??

    • prepareForEntityHierarchyProcessing

      void prepareForEntityHierarchyProcessing()

    • processEntityHierarchies

      void processEntityHierarchies(Set<String> processedEntityNames)

    • postProcessEntityHierarchies

      void postProcessEntityHierarchies()

    • processResultSetMappings

      void processResultSetMappings()
      Process ResultSet mappings for native queries. At the moment, this step has processEntityHierarchies(Set) as a prerequisite because the parsing of the returns access the entity bindings.

    • finishUp

      void finishUp()
      General finish up step. Called last.
