Getting SDO Type instance using the interface class of an SDO

[Venkata Krishnan <fo...@gmail.com>]

Hi
   I want to get hold of the SDO.Type given the class of the SDO Type.  For
example given com.examples.sdo.Customer.class I need to get the Type
instance to work around with the SDOs metadata.  Presently I am
instantiating the SDO and then calling the getType() method.

I checked the TypeHelper class for some APIs and there is one called
getType(Class) but that returns only the Type for standard SDO types.  Am I
missing something here ?

Thanks.

TypeHelper.getType(Class) will return the type for the standard types and 
any "registered" generated SDO.

For example, after you register the quote model (example model from the 
sdo.tools project):

      SDOUtil.registerStaticTypes(SimpleFactory.class);

You can then call:

      Type quoteType = TypeHelper.INSTANCE.getType(Quote.class);
      System.out.println("quoteType: " + quoteType);

Which will print the following:

quoteType: org.apache.tuscany.sdo.impl.ClassImpl@13ad085 (name: Quote) 
(instanceClassName: null) (abstract: false, interface: false)
