Method Summary

<Y> Attribute<X,Y>	getDeclaredId(java.lang.Class<Y> type) Return the attribute that corresponds to the id attribute declared by the entity or mapped superclass.
<Y> Attribute<X,Y>	getDeclaredVersion(java.lang.Class<Y> type) Return the attribute that corresponds to the version attribute declared by the entity or mapped superclass.
<Y> Attribute<? super X,Y>	getId(java.lang.Class<Y> type) Return the attribute that corresponds to the id attribute of the entity or mapped superclass.
Type<?>	getIdType() Return the type that represents the type of the id.
IdentifiableType<? super X>	getSupertype() Return the identifiable type that corresponds to the most specific mapped superclass or entity extended by the entity or mapped superclass.
<Y> Attribute<? super X,Y>	getVersion(java.lang.Class<Y> type) Return the attribute that corresponds to the version attribute of the entity or mapped superclass.
boolean	hasIdAttribute() Whether or not the identifiable type has an id attribute.

Method Detail

getId

<Y> Attribute<? super X,Y> getId(java.lang.Class<Y> type)

Return the attribute that corresponds to the id attribute of the entity or mapped superclass.

Parameters:

type - the type of the represented id attribute

Returns:

id attribute

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if id attribute of the given name and type is not present in the identifiable type

getVersion

<Y> Attribute<? super X,Y> getVersion(java.lang.Class<Y> type)

Return the attribute that corresponds to the version attribute of the entity or mapped superclass.

Parameters:

type - the type of the represented version attribute

Returns:

version attribute

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if version attribute of the given name and type is not present in the identifiable type

getDeclaredId

<Y> Attribute<X,Y> getDeclaredId(java.lang.Class<Y> type)
