getElementType

public Type<E> getElementType()

Return the type representing the element type of the collection.

Specified by:

getElementType in interface PluralAttribute<X,C,E>

Returns:

element type

isAssociation

public boolean isAssociation()

Is the attribute an association.

Specified by:

isAssociation in interface Attribute<X,C>

Returns:

boolean indicating whether the attribute corresponds to an association

isCollection

public boolean isCollection()

Is the attribute collection-valued (represents a Collection, Set, List, or Map).

Specified by:

isCollection in interface Attribute<X,C>

Returns:

boolean indicating whether the attribute is collection-valued

getBindableType

public Bindable.BindableType getBindableType()

Return the bindable type of the represented object.

Specified by:

getBindableType in interface Bindable<E>

Returns:

bindable type

getBindableJavaType

public Class<E> getBindableJavaType()

Return the Java type of the represented object. If the bindable type of the object is PLURAL_ATTRIBUTE, the Java element type is returned. If the bindable type is SINGULAR_ATTRIBUTE or ENTITY_TYPE, the Java type of the represented entity or attribute is returned.

Specified by:

getBindableJavaType in interface Bindable<E>

Returns:

Java type
