public interface LayerProvider

Provides persistence-related methods at a given layer of the application.

Since:

1.2.0

Field Summary

static int

CORE_LAYER_PRIORITY The priority of the core layers.

Method Summary

int	getLayerPosition() Returns the position of this layer relative to others.
MemberTypeAdditions	getMemberTypeAdditions(String callerMID, String methodIdentifier, org.springframework.roo.model.JavaType targetEntity, org.springframework.roo.model.JavaType idType, boolean autowire, MethodParameter... methodParameters) A layer provider should determine if it can provide MemberTypeAdditions for a given target entity and construct it accordingly.
MemberTypeAdditions	getMemberTypeAdditions(String callerMID, String methodIdentifier, org.springframework.roo.model.JavaType targetEntity, org.springframework.roo.model.JavaType idType, MethodParameter... methodParameters) A layer provider should determine if it can provide MemberTypeAdditions for a given target entity and construct it accordingly.

Method Detail

getLayerPosition

int getLayerPosition()

Returns the position of this layer relative to others.

Returns:

a large number for higher-level layers, a smaller number for lower-level layers

getMemberTypeAdditions

MemberTypeAdditions getMemberTypeAdditions(String callerMID,
                                           String methodIdentifier,
                                           org.springframework.roo.model.JavaType targetEntity,
                                           org.springframework.roo.model.JavaType idType,
                                           boolean autowire,
                                           MethodParameter... methodParameters)

A layer provider should determine if it can provide MemberTypeAdditions for a given target entity and construct it accordingly. If it can not provide the requested functionality it should simply return null;

Parameters:

callerMID - the caller's metadata ID

methodIdentifier - specifies the method which is being requested

targetEntity - specifies the target entity

idType - specifies the ID type used by the target entity

autowire - specified where the addition should be autowired (if applicable)

methodParameters - parameters which are passed in to the method

Returns:

MemberTypeAdditions if a layer provider can offer this functionality, null otherwise

getMemberTypeAdditions

MemberTypeAdditions getMemberTypeAdditions(String callerMID,
                                           String methodIdentifier,
                                           org.springframework.roo.model.JavaType targetEntity,
                                           org.springframework.roo.model.JavaType idType,
                                           MethodParameter... methodParameters)

A layer provider should determine if it can provide MemberTypeAdditions for a given target entity and construct it accordingly. If it can not provide the requested functionality it should simply return null;

Parameters:

callerMID - the caller's metadata ID

methodIdentifier - specifies the method which is being requested

targetEntity - specifies the target entity

idType - specifies the ID type used by the target entity

methodParameters - parameters which are passed in to the method

Returns:

MemberTypeAdditions if a layer provider can offer this functionality, null otherwise

getPriority

int getPriority()

Returns the priority of this layer relative to other implementations with the same position.

Returns:

a value greater than CORE_LAYER_PRIORITY in order to take precedence over the core LayerProviders
