Class ManyToManyBuilderInverseJoinColumnStep

java.lang.Object
org.litebridgedb.orm.api.register.ManyToManyBuilderInverseJoinColumnStep
public final class ManyToManyBuilderInverseJoinColumnStep extends Object
Represents a step in the fluent API for defining the inverse join column in a many-to-many relationship mapping. This class is part of the Litebridge ORM API for registering DTO-table mappings and is used to specify the details of the inverse join column in a join table.

A many-to-many relationship involves three components: - The join table that facilitates the relationship. - The join column that references the primary key of the originating table. - The inverse join column that references the primary key of the targeted table.

This step allows specifying the inverse join column and returns an instance of ManyToMany that encapsulates the complete relationship details.

The ManyToManyBuilderInverseJoinColumnStep is a terminal step in the definition of a many-to-many relationship and is created internally through methods in the parent builder class.

  • Method Details

    • inverseJoinColumn

      public ManyToMany inverseJoinColumn(String column)
      Defines the inverse join column in the many-to-many relationship mapping. An inverse join column specifies the column in the join table that references the primary key of the target table in the relationship. This method finalizes the configuration of the join table's details.
      Parameters:
      column - The name of the inverse join column in the join table. Must not be null or empty, as it represents a crucial reference for mapping the target entity.
      Returns:
      A ManyToMany instance encapsulating the details of the many-to-many relationship, including the join table, join column, and inverse join column.
