/**
 * A UserType that may be dereferenced in a query.
 * This interface allows a custom type to define "properties".
 * These need not necessarily correspond to physical JavaBeans
 * style properties.
*
* A CompositeUserType may be used in almost every way * that a component may be used. It may even contain many-to-one * associations.
*
* Implementors must be immutable and must declare a public * default constructor.
*

Instead, assemble() and * disassemble provide conversion to/from a cacheable * representation. * * @see UserType for more simple cases * @see org.hibernate.type.Type * @author Gavin King */ public interface CompositeUserType { /** * Get the "property names" that may be used in a * query. * * @return an array of "property names" */ public String[] getPropertyNames(); /** * Get the corresponding "property types". * * @return an array of Hibernate types */ public Type[] getPropertyTypes(); /** * Get the value of a property. * * @param component an instance of class mapped by this "type" * @param property * @return the property value * @throws HibernateException */ public Object getPropertyValue(Object component, int property) throws HibernateException; /** * Set the value of a property. * * @param component an instance of class mapped by this "type" * @param property * @param value the value to set * @throws HibernateException */ public void setPropertyValue(Object component, int property, Object value) throws HibernateException; /** * The class returned by nullSafeGet(). * * @return Class */ public Class returnedClass(); /** * Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality". * Equality of the persistent state. * * @throws HibernateException */ public boolean equals(Object x, Object y) throws HibernateException; /** * Get a hashcode for the instance, consistent with persistence "equality" */ public int hashCode(Object x) throws HibernateException; /** * Retrieve an instance of the mapped class from a JDBC resultset.
