Interface ObjectGraph
- All Known Implementing Classes:
EmptyObjectGraph
,ObjectGraphImpl
public interface ObjectGraph
Read-only graph containing representations of an entity class that should be processed in entity-filtering. The
representations are twofolds: simple (primitive/non-filterable) fields and further-filterable fields (represented by
subgraphs).
Object graph instances are created for entity-filtering scopes that are obtained from entity annotations, configuration or
scopes defined on resource methods / classes (on server).

Method Details
-
getEntityClass
Class<?> getEntityClass()Get entity domain class of this graph.- Returns:
- entity domain class.
-
getFields
Get a set of all simple (non-filterable) fields of entity class. Value of each of these fields is either primitive or the entity-filtering feature cannot be applied to this field. Values of these fields can be directly processed.- Returns:
- non-filterable fields.
-
getFields
Get fields with the given parent path. The parent path, which may exist in the requested filtering scopes, is used for context to match against the field at the subgraph level.- Parameters:
parent
- name of parent field.- Returns:
- non-filterable fields.
-
getSubgraphs
Map<String,ObjectGraph> getSubgraphs()Get a map of all further-filterable fields of entity class. Mappings are represented as:<field> -> <object-graph>
It is supposed that object graphs contained in this map would be processed further.- Returns:
- further-filterable map of fields.
-
getSubgraphs
Get subgraphs with the given parent path. The parent path, which may exist in the requested filtering scopes, is used for context to match against the subgraph level.- Parameters:
parent
- name of parent field.- Returns:
- further-filterable map of fields.
