SchemaParser (OpenJPA Parent POM 4.0.0 API)

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

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`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.
