createEntityPersister

EntityPersister createEntityPersister(PersistentClass entityBinding,
                                      EntityRegionAccessStrategy entityCacheAccessStrategy,
                                      NaturalIdRegionAccessStrategy naturalIdCacheAccessStrategy,
                                      PersisterCreationContext creationContext)
                               throws HibernateException
