Method Detail

buildAddedElementFromChangeSet

Object buildAddedElementFromChangeSet(Object changeSet,
                                      MergeManager mergeManager,
                                      AbstractSession targetSession)

Build and return a newly-added element based on the change set.

buildChangeSet

Object buildChangeSet(Object element,
                      ObjectChangeSet owner,
                      AbstractSession session)

Build and return a change set for the specified element.

buildElementFromElement

Object buildElementFromElement(Object element,
                               MergeManager mergeManager,
                               AbstractSession targetSession)

Build and return a new element based on the specified element.

buildRemovedElementFromChangeSet

Object buildRemovedElementFromChangeSet(Object changeSet,
                                        MergeManager mergeManager,
                                        AbstractSession targetSession)

Build and return a recently-removed element based on the change set.

compareElements

boolean compareElements(Object element1,
                        Object element2,
                        AbstractSession session)

Compare the non-null elements and return true if they are alike.

compareElementsForChange

boolean compareElementsForChange(Object element1,
                                 Object element2,
                                 AbstractSession session)

Compare the non-null elements and return true if they are alike. This is used to build a change record.

getAttributeName
```
String getAttributeName()
```
Return the mapping's attribute name.

getRealCollectionAttributeValueFromObject

Object getRealCollectionAttributeValueFromObject(Object object,
                                                 AbstractSession session)

Return the attribute value from the specified object, unwrapping the value holder if necessary. If the value is null, build a new container.

mapKeyHasChanged

boolean mapKeyHasChanged(Object element,
                         AbstractSession session)

Return whether the element's user-defined Map key has changed since it was cloned from the original version.

setRealAttributeValueInObject

void setRealAttributeValueInObject(Object object,
                                   Object attributeValue)

Set the attribute value for the specified object, wrapping it in a value holder if necessary.
