Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`java.io.Serializable[]`	`getDisassembledState()`	Get the underlying disassembled state todo : this was added to support initializing an entity's EntityEntry snapshot during reattach; this should be refactored to instead expose a method to assemble a EntityEntry based on this state for return.
`java.lang.String`	`getSubclass()`	Hibernate stores all entries pertaining to a given entity hierarchy in a single region.
`java.lang.Object`	`getVersion()`	Retrieves the version (optimistic locking) associated with this cache entry.
`boolean`	`isReferenceEntry()`	Does this entry represent a direct entity reference (rather than disassembled state)?

- Method Detail
  - isReferenceEntry
```
boolean isReferenceEntry()
```
    Does this entry represent a direct entity reference (rather than disassembled state)?
    
    Returns:
    
    true/false
  - getSubclass
```
java.lang.String getSubclass()
```
    Hibernate stores all entries pertaining to a given entity hierarchy in a single region. This attribute tells us the specific entity type represented by the cached data.
    
    Returns:
    
    The entry's exact entity type.
  - getVersion
```
java.lang.Object getVersion()
```
    Retrieves the version (optimistic locking) associated with this cache entry.
    
    Returns:
    
    The version of the entity represented by this entry
  - getDisassembledState
```
java.io.Serializable[] getDisassembledState()
```
    Get the underlying disassembled state todo : this was added to support initializing an entity's EntityEntry snapshot during reattach; this should be refactored to instead expose a method to assemble a EntityEntry based on this state for return.
    
    Returns:
    
    The disassembled state
