public interface ValueMapping extends MappingModelExpressible, JavaTypedExpressible
Describes a mapping related to any part of the app's domain model, for example, an attribute, an entity identifier, collection elements, etc. Used during generation of a SQL AST.

  • Method Details

    • getMappedType

      MappingType getMappedType()
      Descriptor for the type of this mapping

    • getExpressibleJavaType

      default JavaType<?> getExpressibleJavaType()
      Specified by:
      getExpressibleJavaType in interface JavaTypedExpressible

    • treatAs

      default <X> X treatAs(Class<X> targetType)
      Treat operation. Asks the ValueMapping to treat itself as the given `targetType`, if it can.
      API Note:
      This is not necessarily limited to things the ValueMapping itself implements.
      Implementation Note:
      This default implementation is however limited to just things the ValueMapping itself implements.
