Method Detail

isEmbeddedKey

boolean isEmbeddedKey()

Determines whether the keys of the map should be stored if possible as part of the instance instead of as their own instances in the datastore.

Returns:

true if the keys are stored as part of this instance; false otherwise

setEmbeddedKey

void setEmbeddedKey(boolean embeddedKey)
                    throws ModelException

Set whether the keys of the map should be stored if possible as part of the instance instead of as their own instances in the datastore.

Parameters:

embeddedKey - true if the keys are stored as part of this instance; false otherwise

Throws:

ModelException - if impossible

getKeyType

JavaType getKeyType()

Get the type representation of the keys for this JDOMap.

Returns:

the type of the keys of this JDOMap

setKeyType

void setKeyType(JavaType keyType)
                throws ModelException

Set the type representation of the keys for this JDOMap.

Parameters:

keyType - the type representation of the keys

Throws:

ModelException - if impossible
