Method Details

isDynamicAssociation

default boolean isDynamicAssociation()

Dynamic associations are associations to non-simple types stored in a map with a key type of java.lang.String or enum.

Returns:

True, if this association is a dynamic association.

isDynamicOneToManyAssociation

default boolean isDynamicOneToManyAssociation()

Dynamic one-to-many associations are associations to non-simple types stored in a map with a key type of java.lang.String and values of java.util.Collection.

Returns:

True, if this association is a dynamic association with multiple values per type.

Since:

6.0.1

isDynamicLabels

default boolean isDynamicLabels()

Returns:

whether the property is a property describing dynamic labels

Since:

6.0

getOptionalConverter

@Nullable
Neo4jPersistentPropertyConverter<?> getOptionalConverter()

isEntityWithRelationshipProperties

boolean isEntityWithRelationshipProperties()

Returns:

True if this property targets an entity which is a container for relationship properties.

computePrefixWithDelimiter

default String computePrefixWithDelimiter()

Computes a prefix to be used on multiple properties on a node when this persistent property is annotated with @CompositeProperty.

Returns:

A valid prefix

isReadOnly

default boolean isReadOnly()

Returns:

true if this is a read only property.
