- org.eclipse.persistence.internal.dynamic.DynamicTypeImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, DynamicType
```
public class DynamicTypeImpl
extends Object
implements DynamicType, Cloneable
```
An EntityType provides a metadata facade into the EclipseLink object-relational metadata (descriptors & mappings) with specific knowledge of the entity types being dynamic.

Since:

EclipseLink 1.2

protected DynamicType parentType
```
  - dpm
```
protected DynamicPropertiesManager dpm
```
  - mappingsRequiringInitialization

    These properties require initialization when a new instance is created. This includes properties that are primitives as well as relationships requiring indirection ValueHolders or collections.

```
  - DynamicTypeImpl
```
public DynamicTypeImpl(ClassDescriptor descriptor,
                       DynamicType parentType)
```
    Creation of an EntityTypeImpl for an existing Descriptor with mappings.
- Method Detail
  - clone
```
public Object clone()
```
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class Object
  - getDescriptor
```
public ClassDescriptor getDescriptor()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getDescriptor in interface DynamicType
    
    Returns:
    
    the underlying ClassDescriptor for the mapped type
  - setDescriptor
```
public void setDescriptor(ClassDescriptor descriptor)
```
  - getDynamicPropertiesManager
```
public DynamicPropertiesManager getDynamicPropertiesManager()
```
  - setDynamicPropertiesManager
```
public void setDynamicPropertiesManager(DynamicPropertiesManager dpm)
```
  - getParentType
```
public DynamicType getParentType()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getParentType in interface DynamicType
    
    Returns:
    
    The parent type or null if this type does not have a persistent superclass
  - getMappings
```
public List<DatabaseMapping> getMappings()
```
  - getName
```
public String getName()
```
    Description copied from interface: DynamicType
    
    Return the entity type's name. This is the short name of the class or the ClassDescriptor.getAlias()
    
    Specified by:
    
    getName in interface DynamicType
    
    See Also:
    
    DynamicType.getName()
  - getClassName
```
public String getClassName()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getClassName in interface DynamicType
    
    Returns:
    
    Fully qualified name of mapped class.
  - getNumberOfProperties
```
public int getNumberOfProperties()
```
    Description copied from interface: DynamicType
    
    The current number of properties.
    Note: Some implementations support adding mapped attributes at runtime so it is best to avoid caching the result.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getNumberOfProperties in interface DynamicType
  - getMappingsRequiringInitialization
```
public Set<DatabaseMapping> getMappingsRequiringInitialization()
```
  - isInitialized
```
public boolean isInitialized()
```
  - containsProperty
```
public boolean containsProperty(String propertyName)
```
    Specified by:
    
    containsProperty in interface DynamicType
  - getJavaClass
```
public Class<? extends DynamicEntity> getJavaClass()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getJavaClass in interface DynamicType
  - getMapping
```
public DatabaseMapping getMapping(String propertyName)
```
  - getPropertiesNames
```
public List<String> getPropertiesNames()
```
    Description copied from interface: DynamicType
    
    The current names of properties.
    Note: Some implementations support adding mapped attributes at runtime so it is best to avoid caching the result.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPropertiesNames in interface DynamicType
  - getPropertyType
```
public Class<?> getPropertyType(String propertyName)
```
    Specified by:
    
    getPropertyType in interface DynamicType
  - newDynamicEntity
```
public DynamicEntity newDynamicEntity()
```
    Specified by:
    
    newDynamicEntity in interface DynamicType
  - checkSet
```
public void checkSet(String propertyName,
                     Object value)
              throws DynamicException
```
    Ensure the value being set is supported by the mapping. If the mapping is direct/basic and the mapping's type is primitive ensure the non-primitive type is allowed.
    
    Throws:
    
    DynamicException
  - getPropertyIndex
```
public int getPropertyIndex(String propertyName)
```
    Specified by:
    
    getPropertyIndex in interface DynamicType
  - getPropertyType
```
public Class<?> getPropertyType(int propertyIndex)
```
    Specified by:
    
    getPropertyType in interface DynamicType
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
