Method Detail

getForeignKeyAttribute

SimpleAttribute<A,O> getForeignKeyAttribute()

Returns an attribute which given a primary key of a stored object can read (deserialize) the corresponding object from the identity index. This is called a foreign key attribute, because typically those keys will be stored in other indexes, referring to the primary keys of this index.
