- Method Detail
  - public boolean doesCascade(javax.persistence.CascadeType cascadeOperation)
    
    Returns true if the this association cascade for the given cascade operation
    Parameters:
    cascadeOperation - The cascadeOperation
    Returns:
    True if it does
  - public boolean doesCascade(javax.persistence.CascadeType cascadeOperations)
    
    Returns true if this association cascades for the given cascade operation
    Parameters:
    cascadeOperations - The cascadeOperations
    Returns:
    True if it does
  - public boolean doesCascadeValidate(java.lang.Object associatedObject)
    
    Returns true if this association should cascade validation to the given entity. Note that if the object state is persisted, it may still be validated as part of the object graph.
    Parameters:
    associatedObject - The associated object that may or may not be validated further
    Returns:
    True if validation should cascade
  - public PersistentEntity getAssociatedEntity()
    
    Returns:
    The entity associated with the this association
  - protected java.util.Set<javax.persistence.CascadeType> getCascadeOperations()
  - protected CascadeValidateType getCascadeValidateOperation()
  - public javax.persistence.FetchType getFetchStrategy()
    
    Returns:
    The fetch strategy for the association
  - public Association getInverseSide()
    
    Returns:
    The inverse side or null if the association is not bidirectional
  - public java.lang.String getReferencedPropertyName()
    
    Returns:
    Returns the name of the inverse property or null if this association is unidirectional
  - public boolean isBasic()
    
    Returns:
    Whether this association is embedded
  - public boolean isBidirectional()
    
    Returns:
    True if the association is bidirectional
  - public boolean isCircular()
    
    Returns:
    Whether the association is circular
  - public boolean isEmbedded()
    
    Returns:
    Whether this association is embedded
  - public boolean isList()
    
    Returns:
    Whether the association is a List
  - public boolean isOrphanRemoval()
    
    Returns:
    Whether orphaned entities should be removed when cascading deletes to this association
  - public boolean isOwningSide()
    
    Returns whether this side owns the relationship. This controls the default cascading behavior if none is specified
    Returns:
    True if this property is the owning side
  - public void setAssociatedEntity(PersistentEntity associatedEntity)
    
    Sets the associated entity
    Parameters:
    associatedEntity - The associated entity
  - public void setOwningSide(boolean owningSide)
    
    Sets whether this association is the owning side
    Parameters:
    owningSide - True if it is
  - public void setReferencedPropertyName(java.lang.String referencedPropertyName)
    
    Sets the name of the inverse property
    Parameters:
    referencedPropertyName - The referenced property name
  - @java.lang.Override public java.lang.String toString()
