Class ExtendedPropertyAccessor

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.basedb.core.ExtendedPropertyAccessor

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.hibernate.property.PropertyAccessor

public final class ExtendedPropertyAccessor
extends Object
implements org.hibernate.property.PropertyAccessor

This class is used to interface with Hibernate for extended properties. We need specialized getter and setter methods since there are no regulare get and set methods for the extended properties. Ie. we have to call getExtended("name") instead of getName().

During startup Hibernate creates a pair of Getter and Setter objects for each extended property of an Extendable item. These objects are then used to access the extended properties for all items via the GetterSetter.get and GetterSetter.set methods.
