Method Detail

addPersistentProperty

void addPersistentProperty(P property)

Adds a PersistentProperty to the entity.

Parameters:

property -

addAssociation

void addAssociation(Association<P> association)

Adds an Association to the entity.

Parameters:

association -

verify

void verify()
     throws MappingException

Callback method to trigger validation of the PersistentEntity. As MutablePersistentEntity is not immutable there might be some verification steps necessary after the object has reached is final state.

Throws:

MappingException - in case the entity is invalid

setPersistentPropertyAccessorFactory

void setPersistentPropertyAccessorFactory(PersistentPropertyAccessorFactory factory)

Sets the PersistentPropertyAccessorFactory for the entity. A PersistentPropertyAccessorFactory creates PersistentPropertyAccessors for instances of this entity.

Parameters:

factory - must not be null.
