org.castor.jdo.jpa.processors.fieldprocessors
Class JPAManyToManyProcessor

java.lang.Object
  org.castor.jdo.jpa.processors.BaseJPAAnnotationProcessor
      org.castor.jdo.jpa.processors.fieldprocessors.JPAManyToManyProcessor

All Implemented Interfaces:

AnnotationProcessor, TargetAwareAnnotationProcessor

public class JPAManyToManyProcessor
extends BaseJPAAnnotationProcessor

Processes the JPA annotation ManyToMany. This is the most complex processor. After this processor is done, we know, that we have 2 fields that have a well defined relation to each other. This processor checks for target entities, relationship owning and checks that there is at least one join definition for this relation. After this processor is done, all 5 relation linked methods (and of cource the Many2Many related ones) of JPAFieldNature will return valid values.
