EntityAssociationMapping (Hibernate JavaDocs)

All Superinterfaces:

Association, Bindable, Fetchable, JdbcMappingContainer, MappingModelExpressible, ModelPart, ModelPartContainer, TableGroupJoinProducer, TableGroupProducer

All Known Implementing Classes:

ManyToManyCollectionPart, ToOneAttributeMapping
```
public interface EntityAssociationMapping
extends ModelPart, Association, TableGroupJoinProducer
```
Commonality between `many-to-one`, `one-to-one` and `any`, as well as entity-valued collection elements and map-keys

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`EntityMappingType`	`getAssociatedEntityMappingType()`
`default String`	`getFetchableName()`	The name of the fetchable.
`ModelPart`	`getKeyTargetMatchPart()`	The model sub-part relative to the associated entity type that is the target of this association's foreign-key
`default boolean`	`incrementFetchDepth()`	Should this Fetchable affect the fetch depth? E.g., composites would generally not increment the fetch depth.
