org.exolab.castor.jdo.engine.nature.ClassDescriptorJDONature

public class ClassDescriptorJDONature
extends BaseNature

JDO-specific nature for ClassDescriptor.

Augments ClassDescriptor to include persistence-specific data such as e.g. the table name, cache parameter, key generators, access mode and other SQL-related information.

To access persistence-specific data of a ClassDescriptor, use the following code fragment to ...

1. check for this nature
2. apply this nature to the ClassDescriptor in question.
3. access e.g. the table name.

Sample - Looking up table name

    ClassDescriptor classDescriptor = ...;                                               
    ...
    if (classDescriptor.hasNature(ClassDescriptorJDONature.class.getName()) {              1)
       ClassDescriptorJDONature nature = new ClassDescriptorJDONature(classDescriptor);    2)
       ...
       String tableName = nature.getTableName();                                           3)
    }
