Class EntityAliases

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​java.lang.String>
    public class EntityAliases
extends java.util.HashMap<java.lang.String,​java.lang.String>
    Holds aliases for entities.
    Allows mapping of names used in relations or inheritance to map to entity names, for example, to simplify refactoring.

    Example: 

        <entityAliases>
       Port = LogisticNode,
       ManifestVoyage = Voyage
    </entityAliases>
    The alias goes to the left of the equal sign. It will be mapped to the right side.
