Method Detail

checkSameTable

protected static Table checkSameTable(Column[] columns)

getForeignTable

public Table getForeignTable()

Description copied from interface: Relationship

Gets the table of the foreign key column(s).

Specified by:

getForeignTable in interface Relationship

Returns:

the table of the foreign key column(s).

getPrimaryTable

public Table getPrimaryTable()

Description copied from interface: Relationship

Gets the table of the primary key column(s).

Specified by:

getPrimaryTable in interface Relationship

Returns:

the table of the primary key column(s).

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class BaseObject

compareTo

public int compareTo(Relationship that)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<Relationship>

decorateIdentity

protected final void decorateIdentity(List<Object> identifiers)

Description copied from class: BaseObject

Subclasses should implement this method and add all fields to the list that are to be included in equals(...) and hashCode() evaluation

Specified by:

decorateIdentity in class BaseObject

classEquals

protected final boolean classEquals(BaseObject obj)

Description copied from class: BaseObject

Override this method if the equals method should support different subtypes. For example, if different subtypes of Number should be supported, implement this method with: obj instanceof Number and make sure that the decorateIdentity(...) method will always return a comparable list of identity-objects.

Overrides:

classEquals in class BaseObject

Returns:

true if the provided object's class is accepted for equals comparison

containsColumnPair

public boolean containsColumnPair(Column pkColumn,
                                  Column fkColumn)

Description copied from interface: Relationship

Determines whether this relationship contains a specific pair of columns

Specified by:

containsColumnPair in interface Relationship

Parameters:

pkColumn - primary key column

fkColumn - foreign key column

Returns:

true if this relation contains the specified primary and foreign columns as a part of the relation
