      • getName

        java.lang.String getName()
        Return the entity type's name. This is the short name of the class or the ClassDescriptor.getAlias()

      • getClassName

        java.lang.String getClassName()
        Returns:
        Fully qualified name of mapped class.

      • getParentType

        Returns:
        The parent type or null if this type does not have a persistent superclass

      • getNumberOfProperties

        int getNumberOfProperties()
        The current number of properties.
