Method Detail

isBackRef

public boolean isBackRef()

isSynthetic

public boolean isSynthetic()

Does this property represent a synthetic property? A synthetic property is one we create during metamodel binding to represent a collection of columns but which does not represent a property physically available on the entity.

Returns:

True if synthetic; false otherwise.

Throws:

MappingException

getColumnSpan

getColumns

public List<Column> getColumns()

Delegates to Value.getColumns().

Throws:

AssertionFailure - if the mapping involves formulas

getName

setLazy

public void setLazy(boolean lazy)

isLazy

public boolean isLazy()

Is this property lazy in the "bytecode" sense?

Lazy here means whether we initialize this field of the entity instance in its "base fetch group". It affects whether we list this property's columns in the SQL select for the owning entity when we load its "base fetch group". The actual value that is set varies based on the nature (basic, etc) of the property.

API Note:

This method reports whether the property is considered part of the base fetch group based solely on the information in the mapping but EnhancementHelper.includeInBaseFetchGroup(org.hibernate.mapping.Property, boolean, org.hibernate.bytecode.enhance.spi.interceptor.EnhancementHelper.InheritanceChecker, boolean) is also accounts for other details.
