## com.sleepycat.persist.model
Class AnnotationModel

    java.lang.Object
      com.sleepycat.persist.model.EntityModel
          com.sleepycat.persist.model.AnnotationModel

    public class AnnotationModel

extends EntityModel

The default annotation-based entity model. An `AnnotationModel` is based on annotations that are specified for entity classes and their key fields.

`AnnotationModel` objects are thread-safe. Multiple threads may safely call the methods of a shared `AnnotationModel` object.

The set of persistent classes in the annotation model is the set of all classes with the `Persistent` or `Entity` annotation.

The annotations used to define persistent classes are: `Entity`, `Persistent`, `PrimaryKey`, `SecondaryKey` and `KeyField`. A good starting point is `Entity`.

  Constructs a model for annotated entity classes.

Method Detail

### getKnownClasses

    public Set<String> getKnownClasses()

  Description copied from class: `EntityModel`
  Returns the names of all known persistent classes. A type becomes known when an instance of the type is stored for the first time or metadata or type information is queried for a specific class name.

  Specified by:
    `getKnownClasses` in class `EntityModel`
  Returns:
    an unmodifiable set of class names.

### getEntityMetadata

    public EntityMetadata getEntityMetadata(String className)

  Description copied from class: `EntityModel`
  Returns the metadata for a given entity class name.

  Specified by:
    `getEntityMetadata` in class `EntityModel`
  Returns:
    the metadata or null if the class is not an entity class or does not exist.

### getClassMetadata

    public ClassMetadata getClassMetadata(String className)

  Description copied from class: `EntityModel`
  Returns the metadata for a given persistent class name, including proxy classes and entity classes.
