Package org.springframework.data.neo4j.core.mapping

Interface Neo4jPersistentEntity<T>

Type Parameters:

T - type of the underlying class

All Superinterfaces:

Iterable<Neo4jPersistentProperty>, MutablePersistentEntity<T,Neo4jPersistentProperty>, NodeDescription<T>, PersistentEntity<T,Neo4jPersistentProperty>

@API(status=STABLE,
     since="6.0")
public interface Neo4jPersistentEntity<T>
extends MutablePersistentEntity<T,Neo4jPersistentProperty>, NodeDescription<T>

A PersistentEntity interface with additional methods for metadata related to Neo4j. Both Spring Data methods PersistentEntity.doWithProperties(PropertyHandler) and PersistentEntity.doWithAssociations(AssociationHandler) are aware which field of a class is meant to be mapped as a property of a node or a relationship or if it is a relationship (in Spring Data terms: if it is an association).

Note to the outside world, we treat the @TargetNode annotated field of a @RelationshipProperties annotated class as association. Internally, we treat it as a property

Since:

6.0

Method Details

getDynamicLabelsProperty

Optional<Neo4jPersistentProperty> getDynamicLabelsProperty()

Returns:

An optional property pointing to a Collection<String> containing dynamic "runtime managed" labels.

isRelationshipPropertiesEntity

boolean isRelationshipPropertiesEntity()

Determines if the entity is annotated with RelationshipProperties

Returns:

true if this is a relationship properties class, otherwise false.

isUsingDeprecatedInternalId

default boolean isUsingDeprecatedInternalId()

Returns:

True if the underlying domain classes uses id() to compute internally generated ids.
