Method Detail

resolve

public ClassDescriptor resolve(Class type)

Try to resolve/generate a ClassDescriptor for the given (JPA annotated) type.

Parameters:

type - The Java class that needs a descriptor

Returns:

Usually a ClassDescriptor representing the given Class or null if the given type can not be resolved. When this method is called recursively (as in bidirectional relations) a reference to an incomplete ClassDescriptor is returned, which will be finished when leaving the loop again.
