ORM MAPPING

[Shobha Korrapati]

Hi All,

We are using JPA.

I have to build a native search query dynamically . I am using orm.xml for mapping.

Now ,i have to find some way to get the mapping details in ORM .That is, which field is maaped to which field in the table.

please help me out if any one knows any solution for this.

Thanks in advance
Shobha

What JPA provider are you using? Most provide an API to access their meta-data.

Otherwise you could parse the orm.xml file yourself and determine the column names.

From the EntityManagerFactory, or the EntityManager (cast to TopLink interface in oracle.toplink.ejb.cmp3) you can get the TopLink Session (getServerSession or getSession). From the TopLink Session you can get the TopLink ClassDescriptor Session.getDescriptor(Class). The descriptor has API to get the table and field names, and mappings, (see oracle.toplink.descriptors, oracle.toplink.mappings).
