Class GraphParser

java.lang.Object
org.hibernate.graph.GraphParser

public final class GraphParser extends Object
Parser for string representations of JPA EntityGraph (RootGraph) and Subgraph (SubGraph), using a simple syntax defined by the `graph.g` Antlr grammar.

The parse(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.CharSequence, jakarta.persistence.EntityManager) methods all create a root EntityGraph based on the passed entity class and parse the graph string into that root graph.

The parseInto(org.hibernate.graph.Graph<T>, java.lang.CharSequence, jakarta.persistence.EntityManager) methods parse the graph string into a passed graph, which may be a sub-graph

Multiple graphs made for the same entity type can be merged. See EntityGraphs.merge(SessionImplementor, Class, GraphImplementor...).

      public static <T> RootGraph<T> parse(Class<T> rootType, CharSequence graphText, EntityManager entityManager)
      Creates a root graph based on the passed `rootType` and parses `graphText` into the generated root graph
      Parameters:
      rootType - The root entity type
      graphText - The textual representation of the graph
      entityManager - The EntityManager
      Throws:
      InvalidGraphException - if the textual representation is invalid.
      API Note:
      The passed EntityManager is expected to be a Hibernate implementation. Attempting to pass another provider's EntityManager implementation will fail
    • parseInto

      public static <T> void parseInto(Graph<T> graph, CharSequence graphText, EntityManager entityManager)
      Parses the textual graph representation into the specified graph.
      Parameters:

      graphText - Textual representation of the graph
      entityManager - The EntityManager
      Throws:
      InvalidGraphException - if the textual representation is invalid.
