Interface Neo4jPersistentEntity<T>

Type Parameters:

T - type of the underlying class

All Superinterfaces:

Iterable<Neo4jPersistentProperty>, MutablePersistentEntity<T,Neo4jPersistentProperty>, NodeDescription<T>, PersistentEntity<T,Neo4jPersistentProperty>

@API(status=STABLE,
     since="6.0")
public interface Neo4jPersistentEntity<T>
extends MutablePersistentEntity<T,Neo4jPersistentProperty>, NodeDescription<T>

A PersistentEntity interface with additional methods for metadata related to Neo4j. Both Spring Data methods PersistentEntity.doWithProperties(PropertyHandler) and PersistentEntity.doWithAssociations(AssociationHandler) are aware which field of a class is meant to be mapped as a property of a node or a relationship or if it is a relationship (in Spring Data terms: if it is an association).

Since:

6.0
