Method Details
- typeName
  
  String typeName()
- qualifier
  
  String qualifier()
  
  A type-internal qualifier to distinct different members with equal "primary" name. E.g. reflection-based type handling where fields names are only unique in combination with their declaring class.
  May be null if not applicable.
  
  Returns:
  
  the member's qualifier string to ensure a unique identifier() in a group of members.
- identifier
  
  String identifier()
  
  The name of the member identifying it in its parent group of members.
  E.g. "com.my.app.entities.Person#lastname".
  May never be null.
  
  Returns:
  
  the member's uniquely identifying name.
- name
  
  String name()
  
  The simple or "primary" name of the member, if applicable. E.g. "lastName".
  May be null if not applicable.
  
  Returns:
  
  the member's simple name.
- isInstanceMember
  
  boolean isInstanceMember()
- equalsDescription
  
  default boolean equalsDescription(PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember other)
  
  equalsStructure(PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember) plus qualifier() equality, to check if a member is really content-wise equal.
  
  Parameters:
  
  other -
  
  See Also:
  
  equalsStructure(PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember)
- equalsStructure
  
  default boolean equalsStructure(PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember other)
  
  Structure means equal order of members by type name and simple name.
  Not qualifier, since that is only required for intra-type field identification
  
  Parameters:
  
  other -
  
  See Also:
  
  equalDescription(PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember,PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember)
- equalTypeAndName
  
  static boolean equalTypeAndName(PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember m1, PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember m2)
- equalTypeAndNameAndQualifier
  
  static boolean equalTypeAndNameAndQualifier(PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember m1, PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember m2)
- equalStructure
  
  static boolean equalStructure(PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember m1, PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember m2)
  
  Tests whether the passed PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember have the same "intended" structure, meaning same order of fields with same simple name (PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember name()) and type name.
  For example:
  A PersistenceTypeDescriptionMemberFieldReflective and a PersistenceTypeDescriptionMemberFieldGenericwith different member qualifiers are still considered equal.
  This is necessary for legacy type mapping to being able to write a custom legacy type handler that is compatible with a generic type handler derived from reflective information.
  
  Parameters:
  
  m1 -
  
  m2 -
- equalDescription
  
  static boolean equalDescription(PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember m1, PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember m2)
- calculatePersistentMinimumLength
  
  static long calculatePersistentMinimumLength(long startValue, Iterable<? extends PersistenceTypeDescriptionMember> members)
- calculatePersistentMaximumLength

- assembleTypeDescription
  
  void assembleTypeDescription(PersistenceTypeDescriptionMemberAppender assembler)
- isReference
  
  boolean isReference()
  
  Determines if this member directly is a reference.
- isPrimitive
  
  boolean isPrimitive()
  
  Determines if this member is primitive value.
- isPrimitiveDefinition
  
  boolean isPrimitiveDefinition()
  
  Determines if this member is a primitive type definition instead of a field definition.
- isEnumConstant
  
  boolean isEnumConstant()
  
  Determines if this member is a enum constant name definition instead of an isntance field definition.
- hasReferences
  
  boolean hasReferences()
  
  Determines if this field contains references. Either because it is a reference itself, see isReference(), or because it is a complex type that contains one or more nested members that have references.
- isVariableLength
  
  default boolean isVariableLength()
- isFixedLength
  
  default boolean isFixedLength()
- persistentMinimumLength
  
  long persistentMinimumLength()
  
  Returns the lowest possible length value that a member of the persistent form for values of the type represented by this instance can have. The precise meaning of the length value depends on the actual persistence form.
  
  Returns:
  
  the persistent form length of null if variable length.
  
  See Also:
  
  persistentMaximumLength()
- persistentMaximumLength
  
  long persistentMaximumLength()
