TypeDefinitionBean

extends Object
implements BeanNameAware InitializingBean
java.lang.Object
   ↳ org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.TypeDefinitionBean

Class Overview

Bean that encapsulates a Hibernate type definition.

Typically defined as inner bean within a LocalSessionFactoryBean definition, as list element for the "typeDefinitions" bean property. For example:

 <bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
   ...
   <property name="typeDefinitions">
     <list>
       <bean class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.TypeDefinitionBean">
         <property name="typeName" value="myType"/>
         <property name="typeClass" value="mypackage.MyTypeClass"/>
       </bean>
     </list>
   </property>
   ...
 </bean>
Alternatively, specify a bean id (or name) attribute for the inner bean, instead of the "typeName" property.

Public Methods

public void afterPropertiesSet ()

Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

public Properties getParameters ()

Return the default parameters for the type.

public String getTypeClass ()

Return the type implementation class.

public String getTypeName ()

Return the name of the type.

public void setBeanName (String name)

If no explicit type name has been specified, the bean name of the TypeDefinitionBean will be used.

Parameters
name the name of the bean in the factory. Note that this name is the actual bean name used in the factory, which may differ from the originally specified name: in particular for inner bean names, the actual bean name might have been made unique through appending "#..." suffixes. Use the BeanFactoryUtils#originalBeanName(String) method to extract the original bean name (without suffix), if desired.

public void setParameters (Properties parameters)

Specify default parameters for the type. This only applies to parameterized types.
