</PRE>
<P>
The base class for classes that provide entity model metadata. An <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/persist/model/EntityModel.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist.model"><CODE>EntityModel</CODE></A> defines entity classes, primary keys, secondary keys, and
relationships between entities. For each entity class that is part of the
model, a single <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/persist/PrimaryIndex.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>PrimaryIndex</CODE></A> object and zero or more <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/persist/SecondaryIndex.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>SecondaryIndex</CODE></A> objects may be accessed via an <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityStore.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>EntityStore</CODE></A>.
<p>The built-in entity model, the <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/persist/model/AnnotationModel.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist.model"><CODE>AnnotationModel</CODE></A>, is based on
annotations that are added to entity classes and their key fields.
Annotations are used in the examples in this package, and it is expected
that annotations will normally be used; most readers should therefore skip
to the <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/persist/model/AnnotationModel.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist.model"><CODE>AnnotationModel</CODE></A> class. However, a custom entity model class
may define its own metadata. This can be used to define entity classes and
keys using mechanisms other than annotations.</p>
<p>A concrete entity model class should extend this class and implement the
<A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/persist/model/EntityModel.html#getClassMetadata(java.lang.String)"><CODE>getClassMetadata(java.lang.String)</CODE></A>, <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/persist/model/EntityModel.html#getEntityMetadata(java.lang.String)"><CODE>getEntityMetadata(java.lang.String)</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/persist/model/EntityModel.html#getKnownClasses()"><CODE>getKnownClasses()</CODE></A> methods.</p>
<p>This is an abstract class rather than an interface to allow adding
capabilities to the model at a future date without causing
incompatibilities. For example, a method may be added in the future for
returning new information about the model and subclasses may override this
method to return the new information. Any new methods will have default
implementations that return default values, and the use of the new
information will be optional.</p>
