Class OrderMetaData

java.lang.Object

org.datanucleus.metadata.MetaData

org.datanucleus.metadata.OrderMetaData

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ColumnMetaDataContainer

public class OrderMetaData
extends MetaData
implements ColumnMetaDataContainer

Representation of Order MetaData - the ordering of the elements of a List. This caters for 2 types of List.

• indexed list like in JDO2 where we add a (surrogate) index column. This is also allowed in JPA2
• ordered list like in JPA1 where we use some ordering clause when retrieving

Parameters:

omd - The metadata to copy

OrderMetaData

public OrderMetaData()

Constructor for an ordering. Can be JDO (indexed) or JPA (ordered).
