Interface EntityAttribute

All Superinterfaces:

AttributeFacade, ModelElementFacade

All Known Subinterfaces:

ManageableEntityAttribute

public interface EntityAttribute
extends AttributeFacade

Represents an attribute of an entity.

Metafacade interface to be used by AndroMDA cartridges.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getColumnIndex() The name of the index to create on a column that persists the entity attribute.
java.lang.String	getColumnLength() The length of the column that persists this entity attribute.
java.lang.String	getColumnName() The name of the table column to which this entity is mapped.
TypeMappings	getJdbcMappings() The PIM to language specific mappings for JDBC.
java.lang.String	getJdbcType() The JDBC type for this entity attribute.
TypeMappings	getSqlMappings() The SQL mappings (i.e.
java.lang.String	getSqlType() The SQL type for this attribute.
java.lang.String	getUniqueGroup() The name of the unique-key that this unique attribute belongs
boolean	isEntityAttributeMetaType() Indicates the metafacade type (used for metafacade mappings).
boolean	isIdentifier() True if this attribute is an identifier for its entity.
boolean	isTransient() Indicates this attribute should be ignored by the persistence layer.
boolean	isUnique() Whether or not the entity attribute is unique (default is false).
