Refactor Java Classes and Fields
A Hibernate mapping maps a Java class and its fields to a database table and its columns. In NetBeans, the Hibernate mapping files will be refactored when any of the referenced Java classes or Java properties/fields are refactored (class/package/field renamed, class moved into a different package). In detail, the following element/attributes in the Hibernate mapping file might be affected by the refactoring:
| Element | Attributes |
|---|---|
| <hibernate-mapping> | package |
| <class> | name |
| <subclass> | name |
| <joined-subclass> | name |
| <union-subclassclass> | name |
| <id> | name |
| <composite-id> | name, class |
| <key-property> | name |
| <key-many-to-one> | name, class |
| <version> | name |
| <timestamp> | name |
| <property> | name |
| <many-to-one> | name, class |
| <one-to-one> | name, class |
| <component> | name, class |
| <subclass> | name, extends |
| <joined-subclass> | name, extends, persister |
| <union-subclass> | name, extends, persister |
| <column> | name |
| <import> | class |
| <any> | name |
| <map> | name |
| <list> | name |
| <many-to-many> | class |
| <one-to-many> | class |
Refactoring Hiberante Mapping Files (NOT SUPPORTED in NetBeans 6.1, yet)
The Hibernate mapping files can be referenced in the Hibernate configuration files in the <mapping resource=""> attribute. When a Hibernate mapping file is refactored to a different name (rename) or move to a different package, the corresponding <mapping> elements in the configuration files will be refactored properly.
