Interface ColumnNameMatcher

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractSeparatorCharColumnNameMatcher, CaseInsensitiveColumnNameMatcher, SnakeCaseColumnNameMatcher

public interface ColumnNameMatcher

Strategy for matching SQL column names to Java property, field, or parameter names.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	columnNameMatches(String columnName, String javaName)	Returns whether the column name fits the given Java identifier name.
default boolean	columnNameStartsWith(String columnName, String prefix)	Return whether the column name starts with the given prefix, according to the matching strategy of this ColumnNameMatcher.

Method Details

columnNameMatches

boolean columnNameMatches(String columnName,
 String javaName)

Returns whether the column name fits the given Java identifier name.

Parameters:

columnName - the SQL column name

javaName - the Java property, field, or parameter name

Returns:

whether the given names are logically equivalent

columnNameStartsWith

default boolean columnNameStartsWith(String columnName,
 String prefix)

Return whether the column name starts with the given prefix, according to the matching strategy of this ColumnNameMatcher. This method is used by reflective mappers to short-circuit nested mapping when no column names begin with the nested prefix. By default, this method returns columnName.startWith(prefix). Third party implementations should override this method to match prefixes by the same criteria as columnNameMatches(String, String).

Parameters:

columnName - the column name to test

prefix - the prefix to test for

Returns:

whether the column name begins with the prefix.
