Overview
This example demonstrates how to derive an XML representation from a set of JPA entities using JAXB when a JPA entity has an embedded ID class.
JPA Entities
@Entity public class PhoneNumber { @ManyToOne @JoinColumns({ @JoinColumn(name="E_ID", referencedColumnName = "E_ID"), @JoinColumn(name="E_COUNTRY", referencedColumnName = "COUNTRY") }) private Employee contact; }
@Entity @IdClass(EmployeeId.class) public class Employee { @EmbeddedId private EmployeeId id; @OneToMany(mappedBy="contact") private List<PhoneNumber> contactNumber; }
@Embeddable public class EmployeeId { @Column(name="E_ID") private BigDecimal eId; private String country; }
JAXB Bindings
For this example the XML acessor type will be set to FIELD for all the model classes. This can be set as a package level JAXB annotation.
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) package com.example.model; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
Target Object
As we require support beyond the JAXB spec, we will make use the EclipseLink extension @XmlCustomizer. Also since the relationship is bidirectional, we will use the EclipseLink extension @XmlInverseReference.
@Entity @IdClass(EmployeeId.class) @XmlCustomizer(EmployeeCustomizer.class) public class Employee { @EmbeddedId private EmployeeId id; @OneToMany(mappedBy="contact") @XmlInverseReference(mappedBy="contact") private List<PhoneNumber> contactNumber; }
If we want the content of the EmployeeId class to be embedded in the complex type corresponding to the Employee class then we can change the XPath on the mapping for the "id" property to be self or ".".
Then we must specify the XPath to the XML nodes which represent the ID.
import org.eclipse.persistence.config.DescriptorCustomizer; import org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.ClassDescriptor; import org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.mappings.XMLCompositeObjectMapping; public class EmployeeCustomizer implements DescriptorCustomizer { public void customize(ClassDescriptor descriptor) throws Exception { XMLCompositeObjectMapping idMapping = (XMLCompositeObjectMapping) descriptor.getMappingForAttributeName("id"); idMapping.setXPath("."); descriptor.addPrimaryKeyFieldName("eId/text()"); descriptor.addPrimaryKeyFieldName("country/text()"); } }
Source Object
If the target object had a single ID then we would use @XmlIDREF. Since the target object has a compound key, we will mark the field @XmlTransient, and use the EclipseLink extension @XmlCustomizer to set up the mapping.
@Entity @XmlCustomizer(PhoneNumberCustomizer.class) public class PhoneNumber { @ManyToOne @JoinColumns({ @JoinColumn(name="E_ID", referencedColumnName = "E_ID"), @JoinColumn(name="E_COUNTRY", referencedColumnName = "COUNTRY") }) @XmlTransient private Employee contact; }
An XMLObjectReferenceMapping will be created. The mapping will include multiple key mappings.
import org.eclipse.persistence.config.DescriptorCustomizer; import org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.ClassDescriptor; import org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.mappings.XMLObjectReferenceMapping; public class PhoneNumberCustomizer implements DescriptorCustomizer { public void customize(ClassDescriptor descriptor) throws Exception { XMLObjectReferenceMapping contactMapping = new XMLObjectReferenceMapping(); contactMapping.setAttributeName("contact"); contactMapping.setReferenceClass(Employee.class); contactMapping.addSourceToTargetKeyFieldAssociation("contact/@eID", "eId/text()"); contactMapping.addSourceToTargetKeyFieldAssociation("contact/@country", "country/text()"); descriptor.addMapping(contactMapping); } }
