Method Summary

<X> void	addAttributeNodes(java.lang.String... attributeName)
<X> SubGraph<X>	addSubGraph(java.lang.String attribute)
<X> SubGraph<X>	addSubGraph(java.lang.String attribute, java.lang.Class<X> type) Used to add a node of the graph that corresponds to a managed type with inheritance.
java.util.List<AttributeNode<?>>	getAttributeNodes()
java.lang.String	getName() Returns the name of the static EntityGraph.

Method Detail

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Returns the name of the static EntityGraph. Will return null if the EntityGraph is not a named EntityGraph.

addAttributeNodes

<X> void addAttributeNodes(java.lang.String... attributeName)

addSubGraph

<X> SubGraph<X> addSubGraph(java.lang.String attribute)

addSubGraph

<X> SubGraph<X> addSubGraph(java.lang.String attribute,
                            java.lang.Class<X> type)

Used to add a node of the graph that corresponds to a managed type with inheritance. This allows for multiple subclass sub-graphs to be defined for this node of the entity graph. Subclass sub-graphs will include the specified attributes of superclass sub-graphs

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the attribute is not an attribute of this managed type.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the attribute's target type is not a managed type

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this EntityGraph has been statically defined

getAttributeNodes

java.util.List<AttributeNode<?>> getAttributeNodes()
