  - isAbstractCompositeObjectMapping
```
boolean isAbstractCompositeObjectMapping()
```
    Related mapping should implement this method to return true.
  - isAbstractDirectMapping
```
boolean isAbstractDirectMapping()
```
    Related mapping should implement this method to return true.

```
  - isTransformationMapping
```
boolean isTransformationMapping()
```
    Related mapping should implement this method to return true.
  - setAttributeAccessor
```
void setAttributeAccessor(ATTRIBUTE_ACCESSOR attributeAccessor)
```
    ADVANCED: Set the attributeAccessor. The attribute accessor is responsible for setting and retrieving the attribute value from the object for this mapping. This can be set to an implementor of AttributeAccessor if the attribute requires advanced conversion of the mapping value, or a real attribute does not exist.
  - setAttributeName
```
void setAttributeName(String attributeName)
```
    Sets the name of the attribute in the mapping.
  - setAttributeValueInObject
```
void setAttributeValueInObject(Object object,
                               Object value)
```
  - writeSingleValue
```
void writeSingleValue(Object value,
                      Object object,
                      XML_RECORD record,
                      ABSTRACT_SESSION session)
```
  - setGetMethodName
```
void setGetMethodName(String methodName)
```
    This method is invoked reflectively on the reference object to return the value of the attribute in the object. This method sets the name of the getMethodName.
  - setIsReadOnly
```
void setIsReadOnly(boolean aBoolean)
```
    Set this mapping to be read only. Read-only mappings can be used if two attributes map to the same field. Read-only mappings cannot be used for the primary key or other required fields.
  - setProperties
```
void setProperties(Map properties)
```
    INTERNAL: Allow user defined properties.
  - setSetMethodName
```
void setSetMethodName(String methodName)
```
    Set the methodName used to set the value for the mapping's attribute into the object.
