Refactoring Overview
- Display changes in the Refactoring preview dialog
- Support Undo
- Any XML changes will be done without the user having to check the box 'Update fully qualified names in non-Java text files'. Currently the user can get java type renames to be completed in the persistence.xml by checking that box, but a java type delete will not edit the persistence.xml.
- Support refactorings in 1 project affecting 1 or more JpaProjects in the workspace
- Must handle other refactoring participants making changes to the same files. The assumption will be that we are the only ones making changes for JPA spec metadata. So while other refactoring participants can change the same file, they must not make the exact same changes as Dali.
Phase 1
bug 209489 - Participate in Java type level refactorings
bug 318028 - Participate in mapping file refactorings
Delete: Java class, Java package, folder, mapping file
Rename: Java class, Java package, folder, mapping file
Move: Java class, Java package, folder, mapping file
Phase 2
bug 318174 - Participate in Java field/method refactorings
Phase 3
bug 138622 - Convert annotated JPA metadata to orm.xml
bug 265344 - Change access type
Phase 4
bug 136333 - Participate in Java refactoring to change JPA DB metadata
Phase 5
Push down, Pull up, Extract superclass, Extract class
Refactoring Participants
Delete Refactoring
Delete Java Class
- persistence.xml
- delete corresponding class element
- A property that references the deleted class will not be deleted. The user will be left with a validation error. This is how JDT handles references to deleted classes.
- Mappings files
- Delete entity/embeddable/mapped-superclass element
- If there are multiple type mappings that reference the deleted java class (an error case) then delete all of them.
- Other references to the deleted class (id-class, map-key-class, etc) will not be deleted
- Delete entity/embeddable/mapped-superclass element
- Other use cases to handle:
- Deletion of mapped nested class. Also deletion of top-level class that includes a nested class.
- Deletion of class from another project
- If deleted classes are not listed in any persistence.xml or orm.xml make sure the 'Delete classes referenced in JPA metadata files' node does not appear in the preview tree
These screen shots show a refactoring preview dialog where Foo.java and Bar.java are deleted. There were listed in the persistence.xml, orm.xml, and eclipselink-orm.xml files. The other refactorings will follow the same pattern with the one composite change that contains a change for each affected file.
Delete Java Package
- all items from Java Class - multiple types will be deleted when a package is deleted
- package element in an orm.xml
- for now we will not touch the package element even it it matches exactly. In order to delete the package element we would have to check all types - entity, mapped superclass, idclass, target-entity, etc. Handle with validation bug 193535.
Delete Folder - Source or Other
- all items from Java Package above
- persistence.xml
- delete corresponding mapping-file elements
Delete Java Field/Method
Do we want to do anything? At least lower priority
- Java files
- delete attribute/association overrides that reference the deleted field/method
- Mappings files
- delete corresponding attribute mappings
- delete attribute/association overrides that reference the deleted field/method
Delete Mapping File
- persistence.xml
- delete corresponding mapping-file element
Rename Refactoring
If 'Update references' is *not* checked on the refactoring dialog then the following changes will not be made.
If 'Update fully qualified names in non-Java text files' is checked we must not conflict with the platform making changes. If it is unchecked our changes will still be made as long as 'Update references' is checked.
Rename Java Class
- persistence.xml
- udpate class element
- EclipseLink properties - rename if the class matches
- eclipselink.session.customizer
- eclipselink.exception-handler
- eclipselink.logging.logger
- eclipselink.session-event-listener
- Mapping file
- rename entity/embeddable/mapped-superclass class element
- rename other class references
- id-class element
- 1-1/1-m/m-1/m-m target-entity
- element-collection
- map-key-class
- target-class
- 1-m/m-m map-key-class
- EclipseLink
- entity/mapped-superclass/embeddable customizer
- entity class-extractor (not yet supported - bug 297531)
- entity/mapped-superclass cache-interceptor (not yet supported - bug 319321)
- all converter type classes on entity-mappings, entity, mapped-superclass, embeddable, id, basic, version, element collection
Rename Java Package
- all items from Rename Type
- If the referenced type is partially qualified it will be fully qualified after the refactoring
- Mapping files
- Rename package element if it is an exact match to the renamed package
Rename Folder
- persistence.xml
- update mapping-file reference
- update jar-file reference - we have decided not to update the jar-file reference. The java class path is not updated when a jar-file is removed, so we will just let the user update the reference as appropriate once they have updated the classpath.
Rename Java Field/Method
'Update similarly named variables and methods' - Rename Type - this is technically part of the refactor Rename Java Class, but we will support it here.
- Java
- rename mappedBy
- rename MapsId
- rename MapKey
- rename AttributeOverride/AssociationOverride name
- update @OrderBy
- Mapping files
- rename corresponding mapping
- rename mapped-by
- rename maps-id
- rename map-key
- rename attribute-override/association-override name
- update order-by
- rename pre-persist, post-persist, pre-remove, post-remove, pre-update, post-update, post-load
Rename Mapping File
- persistence.xml
- update mapping-file reference
- Rename the default orm.xml/ecliselink-orm.xml file and add a reference to it in the persistence.xml if it does not exist. If it is renamed back to the default name the reference will not be removed from the persistence.xml.
Move Refactoring
- all items from Rename Refactoring above
- except Move Package. A package can only be moved to another source folder either in the same project or another project. This will not affect the referenced location of the package either in a persistence.xml or orm.xml file.
Push Down Refactoring
- Java
- Annotations move with the method/field
- What if there are attribute overrides on the subclass for the fields that are being moved?
- Remove the attribute overrides?
- Take that metadata and put it on the attribute? what if it is different from what already exists?
- We can check for all of this information in the refactoring participant and decide whether there is anything we can do.
- Mapping files
- we would have to move the mappings to the subclass entity in orm.xml. If the subclass entity does not exist we create it.
Pull Up Refactoring
- Java
- Annotations move with the method/field
- Mapping files
- Move the mapping to the superclass entity in orm.xml, creating the entity if necessary. Moving this information isn't as important for EclipseLink since it supports mapping inherited attributes.
Extract Superclass Refatoring
Extract Class Refactoring
JPA DB Metadata Refactoring Participants
We need a JPA project preference for these since it would only apply for someone who is not generating their schema.
- Rename/Move Type
- Add @Table if name is not currently specified(only if it currently matches a table on the database? - would have to be connected)
- Entity name specified - no need to add @Table
- Inheritance SINGLE_TABLE strategy - no need to add @Table if not the root
- Add @JoinTable if not currently specified to any relationship mappings that default to a JoinTable either owned by the renamed type or where the renamed type is the target.
- Add @CollectionTable to an ElementCollection owned by the renamed type if it is not currently specified.
- Add @Table if name is not currently specified(only if it currently matches a table on the database? - would have to be connected)
- Rename attribute
- Add @Column if name is not currently specified
- Add @MapKeyColumn
- Add @JoinColumn
- Add @MapKeyJoinColumn
- Add @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn
- Add @CollectionTable if the mapping is an ElementCollection and the collection table is not currently specified
Refactoring Contributions
Move Annotations to XML
Move XML to Annotations
Move XML to XML
- Move an XML entity to another mapping file
Change Access Type
- move annotations from fields to properties (1 or more) or vice versa. Would have to include creating the appropriate fields or properties or choosing the ones that match.
Rename Sequence/Table Generator
- rename the generated-value->generator references in java and orm.xml
