Class PCSubclassValidator

java.lang.Object

org.apache.openjpa.enhance.PCSubclassValidator

public class PCSubclassValidator
extends Object

Validates that a given type meets the JPA contract, plus a few OpenJPA-specific additions for subclassing / redefinition:

• must have an accessible no-args constructor
• must be a public or protected class
• must not be final
• must not extend an enhanced class
• all persistent data represented by accessible setter/getter methods (persistent properties)
• if versioning is to be used, exactly one persistent property for the numeric version data
• When using property access, the backing field for a persistent property must be:
  • private
  • set only in the designated setter, in the constructor, or in Object.clone(), readObject(ObjectInputStream), or Externalizable.readExternal(ObjectInput).
  • read only in the designated getter and the constructor.

If you use this technique and use the new keyword instead of a OpenJPA-supplied construction routine, OpenJPA will need to do extra work with persistent-new-flushed instances, since OpenJPA cannot in this case track what happens to such an instance.
