  • Method Details

    • getAttribute

      Attribute getAttribute()
      Gets the attribute this option-set belongs to.
      Returns:
      the entity

    • getAnnotations

      List<String> getAnnotations()
      Gets the list of annotations.
      Annotations start with an @. By default, they are applied to the getters of the interfaces only. However, the at-sign may be followed by one or two modifiers that changes the code generation:
      • =: annotate setter only.
      • +: annotate setter and getter.
      • ~: annotation is hidden, i.e. applied to the implementations instead of the interfaces.
      Example: 
         @=~MyAnno
   will be applied to the implementation of the setter only.
      Returns:
      the annotations

    • getDefaultValue

      Object getDefaultValue()
      Gets the default value if [DEFAULT value] given.
      The returned type corresponds to the DataType of the Attribute.
      Returns:
      the defaultValue

    • getInitialValue

      String getInitialValue()
      Gets the initial value if [INIT value] given.
      Returns:
      the Java code to initialize the declaration with

    • getNewValue

      String getNewValue()
      Gets the new value if [NEW value] given.
      Returns:
      the Java code to initialize before validation if PDO is persisted the first time

    • isContextId

      boolean isContextId()
      Returns whether this is the object id holding the context.
      Returns:
      true if context id

    • isDomainKey

      boolean isDomainKey()
      Returns whether this is a unique domain key (or part of it).
      Returns:
      true if domain key

    • isUTC

      boolean isUTC()

    • isWithTimezone

      boolean isWithTimezone()
      Returns whether to use a dedicated timezone.
      If set, the PDO must provide a method to configure the timezone for the given attribute of the form: 
       Calendar get<attribute-name>TimezoneConfig();

 Example: Calendar getPrintedTimezoneConfig();

      This option applies only to predefined data types that provide special methods in ResultSet and PreparedStatement with a Calendar argument for timezone correction (such as Timestamp, Date or Time).

      Returns:
      true if timezone is applied

    • isUnsigned

      boolean isUnsigned()
      Returns whether this is an unsigned numeric field.
      Returns:
      true if unsigned

    • isDigitsOnly

      boolean isDigitsOnly()
      Returns whether only digits are allowed as input.
      Applies only to strings. Number types provide their own rules.
      Returns:
      true if allow only digits

    • isHidden

      boolean isHidden()
      Returns whether the attribute is not declared in the interface.
      Returns:
      true if implemented only, no public interface definition

    • isShallow

      boolean isShallow()
      Returns whether the attribute should be skipped in snapshot and copy operations.
      Returns:
      true if skip this attribute, false to include (default)

    • isPartOfNormText

      boolean isPartOfNormText()
      Returns whether the attribute becomes part of the normtext.
      Returns:
      true if add to normtext
