Interface SchemaParser

All Superinterfaces:

MetaDataParser

All Known Implementing Classes:

XMLSchemaParser

public interface SchemaParser
extends MetaDataParser

Interface class for parers that read schema information. Parsers will place all parsed schemas into the current SchemaGroup, set via the setSchemaGroup(org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.schema.SchemaGroup) method. This allows parsing of multiple files into a single schema group.

Method Summary

boolean	getDelayConstraintResolve() Delay resolution of foreign key constraints until resolveConstraints() is called.
SchemaGroup	getSchemaGroup() Return the current schema group.
void	resolveConstraints() If this parser is in delayed resolve mode, resolve all constraints.
void	setDelayConstraintResolve(boolean delay) Delay resolution of foreign key constraints until resolveConstraints() is called.
void	setSchemaGroup(SchemaGroup group) Set the current schema group; this clears all state from the last group.

Method Detail

getDelayConstraintResolve

boolean getDelayConstraintResolve()

Delay resolution of foreign key constraints until resolveConstraints() is called. This allows you to parse multiple resources where a foreign key in one resource might refer to a table in another.

setDelayConstraintResolve

void setDelayConstraintResolve(boolean delay)

Delay resolution of foreign key constraints until resolveConstraints() is called. This allows you to parse multiple resources where a foreign key in one resource might refer to a table in another.

getSchemaGroup

SchemaGroup getSchemaGroup()

Return the current schema group.

setSchemaGroup

void setSchemaGroup(SchemaGroup group)

Set the current schema group; this clears all state from the last group.

resolveConstraints

void resolveConstraints()

If this parser is in delayed resolve mode, resolve all constraints.
