Annotation Type ContainedIn

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
@Documented
public @interface ContainedIn

Describe the owning entity as being part of the target entity's indexed object graph.

Often used when an @Indexed class is used as a @IndexedEmbedded target class. @ContainedIn must mark the property pointing back to the @IndexedEmbedded owning Entity (not necessary if the class is an @Embeddable class).

Also used to trigger a reindex of related entities even if no @IndexedEmbedded is involved, allowing to define a dependency graph.

@Indexed
public class OrderLine {
@IndexedEmbedded
private Order order;
}

@Indexed
public class Order {
@ContainedIn
Set lines;
}
