EntityMetadataBuilder
=====================

.. java:package:: org.motechproject.mds.builder
   :noindex:

.. java:type:: public interface EntityMetadataBuilder

   The \ ``EntityMetadataBuilderImpl``\  class is responsible for building jdo metadata for an entity class.

Methods
-------
addBaseMetadata
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method::  void addBaseMetadata(JDOMetadata jdoMetadata, ClassData classData)
   :outertype: EntityMetadataBuilder

   Adds base information about package and class name to a \ :java:ref:`javax.jdo.metadata.JDOMetadata`\  instance.

   :param jdoMetadata: an empty instance of \ :java:ref:`javax.jdo.metadata.JDOMetadata`\ .
   :param classData: an instance of \ :java:ref:`org.motechproject.mds.domain.ClassData`\

addEntityMetadata
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method::  void addEntityMetadata(JDOMetadata jdoMetadata, Entity entity)
   :outertype: EntityMetadataBuilder

   Adds information about package and class name to a \ :java:ref:`javax.jdo.metadata.JDOMetadata`\  instance.

   :param jdoMetadata: a empty instance of \ :java:ref:`javax.jdo.metadata.JDOMetadata`\ .
   :param entity: a instance of \ :java:ref:`org.motechproject.mds.domain.Entity`\

addHelperClassMetadata
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method::  void addHelperClassMetadata(JDOMetadata jdoMetadata, ClassData classData, Entity entity)
   :outertype: EntityMetadataBuilder

   Creates metadata with basic information about package and class name to the \ :java:ref:`javax.jdo.metadata.JDOMetadata`\  instance. Additionally, fetches fields from passed entites and adds metadata for fields, if it's necessary. If entity is null, it will work just like \ ``addBaseMetadata(JDOMetadata, ClassData)``\  and won't add any metadata for fields.

   :param jdoMetadata: an empty instance of \ :java:ref:`javax.jdo.metadata.JDOMetadata`\ .
   :param classData: an instance of \ :java:ref:`org.motechproject.mds.domain.ClassData`\
   :param entity: an entity to fetch fields from

fixEnhancerIssuesInMetadata
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method::  void fixEnhancerIssuesInMetadata(JDOMetadata jdoMetadata)
   :outertype: EntityMetadataBuilder

   This updates the metadata after enhancement. Nucleus makes some "corrections" which do not work with the runtime enhancer.
