c
- the class for which we need a producer- Returns:
- the factory for this class
-
isGenericHandler
boolean isGenericHandler(Class c)
Checks, whether a generic handler exists for the given class. This does not check, whether an mapping exists.- Parameters:
c
- the class for which to check- Returns:
- true, if an generic handler is defined, false otherwise.
-
getMultiplexDefinition
MultiplexMappingDefinition getMultiplexDefinition(Class c)
Returns the multiplex definition for the given class, or null, if no such definition exists.- Parameters:
c
- the class for which to check the existence of the multiplexer- Returns:
- the multiplexer for the class, or null if no multiplexer exists.
-
getManualMappingDefinition
ManualMappingDefinition getManualMappingDefinition(Class c)
Returns the manual mapping definition for the given class, or null, if not manual definition exists.- Parameters:
c
