Annotation Type ContainedIn

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
 @Documented
public @interface ContainedIn

Describe the owning entity as being part of the target entity's indexed object graph.

Often used when an @Indexed class is used as a IndexedEmbedded target class. @ContainedIn must mark the property pointing back to the @IndexedEmbedded owning Entity (not necessary if the class is an Embeddable class).

Also used to trigger a reindex of related entities even if no @IndexedEmbedded is involved, allowing to define a dependency graph.

 
  @Indexed
 public class OrderLine {
      @IndexedEmbedded
     private Order order;
 }

  @Indexed
 public class Order {
      @ContainedIn
     Set <OrderLine> lines;
 }
