Method Detail

isBackRef

public boolean isBackRef()

isSynthetic

public boolean isSynthetic()

Does this property represent a synthetic property? A synthetic property is one we create during metamodel binding to represent a collection of columns but which does not represent a property physically available on the entity.

Returns:

True if synthetic; false otherwise.

getType

             throws MappingException

Throws:

MappingException

getValue

public Value getValue()

isPrimitive

public boolean isPrimitive(Class clazz)

public CascadeStyle getCascadeStyle()
                             throws MappingException

Throws:

MappingException

                throws MappingException

Throws:

MappingException

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

setLazy

public void setLazy(boolean lazy)

isLazy

public boolean isLazy()

Is this property lazy in the "bytecode" sense? Lazy here means whether we should push *something* to the entity instance for this field in its "base fetch group". Mainly it affects whether we should list this property's columns in the SQL select for the owning entity when we load its "base fetch group". The "something" we push varies based on the nature (basic, etc) of the property.
