Since:

10 This class is used to preserve the old method of doing Field Transformations on a transformation mapping. It is used internally when the older API is used on a TransformationMapping, and handles doing invocations on the user's domain class

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(AbstractTransformationMapping mapping)

Description copied from interface: FieldTransformer

Initialize this transformer. Only required if the user needs some special information from the mapping in order to do the transformation

Specified by:

initialize in interface FieldTransformer

Parameters:

mapping - - the mapping this transformer is associated with.

getFieldType

public Class<?> getFieldType()

Return the Java class type of the field value. This uses the method return type.

buildFieldValue

public Object buildFieldValue(Object object,
                              String fieldName,
                              Session session)

Specified by:

buildFieldValue in interface CoreFieldTransformer<Session>

Specified by:

buildFieldValue in interface FieldTransformer

Parameters:

object - - an instance of the domain class which contains the attribute

fieldName - - the name of the field being transformed. Used if the user wants to use this transformer for multiple fields.

session - - the current session

Returns:

- The value to be written for the field associated with this transformer

getMethodName

public String getMethodName()

setMethodName

public void setMethodName(String name)
