All Implemented Interfaces:

AnnotationProcessor, TargetAwareAnnotationProcessor

public class JPAInheritanceProcessor
extends BaseJPAAnnotationProcessor

Processes the JPA annotation Inheritance. After this processor is done, JPAClassNature.getInheritanceStrategy() returns a valid value!

                          throws AnnotationTargetException

The processing action of this processor. If an annotation is given which is not supported false is returned.

Parameters:

info - the Info class that should be filled with the information read

annotation - the annotation to process
