public class EntityAccessor
extends MappedSuperclassAccessor
```
An entity accessor. Key notes: - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be compared in the equals method. - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be handled in the merge method. (merging is done at the accessor/mapping level) - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be initialized in the initXMLObject method. - methods should be preserved in alphabetical order.

```
    INTERNAL: Add multiple fields to the descriptor. Called from either Inheritance or SecondaryTable context.
  - discoverMappedSuperclassesAndInheritanceParents
```
protected void discoverMappedSuperclassesAndInheritanceParents(boolean addMappedSuperclassAccessors)
```
    INTERNAL: Build a list of classes that are decorated with a MappedSuperclass annotation or that are tagged as a mapped-superclass in an XML document. This method will also do a couple other things as well since we are traversing the parent classes: - Build a map of generic types specified and will be used to resolve actual class types for mappings. - Will discover and set the inheritance parent and root descriptors if this entity is part of an inheritance hierarchy. - save mapped-superclass descriptors on the project for later use by the Metamodel API Note: The list is rebuilt every time this method is called since it is called both during pre-deploy and deploy where the class loader dependencies change.
  - getCascadeOnDelete
```
public Boolean getCascadeOnDelete()
```
    INTERNAL: Used for OX mapping.

```
    INTERNAL: Used for OX mapping.
  - getDiscriminatorValue

public String getDiscriminatorValue()
```
    INTERNAL: Used for OX mapping.

  - getTable
```
public TableMetadata getTable()
```
    INTERNAL: Used for OX mapping.
  - hasClassExtractor
```
public boolean hasClassExtractor()
```
    INTERNAL: This method is a little involved since a class extractor is mutually exclusive with a discriminator column. Within one xml file it is impossible to have both specified since they are within a choice tag. However, if one is specified in the orm.xml and the other in the eclipselink-orm.xml, after the merge both will be set on this accessor, so we need to check which came from the eclipselink-orm.xml because it is the one we need to use.
  - hasInheritance
```
public boolean hasInheritance()
```
    INTERNAL: Return true if this class has an inheritance specifications.
  - initXMLObject

    INTERNAL: Entity level merging details.
    
    Overrides:
    
    merge in class MappedSuperclassAccessor
  - preProcess
```
public void preProcess()
```
    INTERNAL: The pre-process method is called during regular deployment and metadata processing and will pre-process the items of interest on an entity class. The order of processing is important, care must be taken if changes must be made.
    
    Overrides:
    
    preProcess in class MappedSuperclassAccessor
  - preProcessForCanonicalModel
```
public void preProcessForCanonicalModel()
```
    INTERNAL: The pre-process for canonical model method is called (and only called) during the canonical model generation. The use of this pre-process allows us to remove some items from the regular pre-process that do not apply to the canonical model generation. The order of processing is important, care must be taken if changes must be made.
    
    Overrides:
    
    preProcessForCanonicalModel in class ClassAccessor
  - process
```
public void process()
```
    INTERNAL: Process the items of interest on an entity class. The order of processing is important, care must be taken if changes must be made.
    
    Overrides:
    
    process in class MappedSuperclassAccessor
  - processAccessMethods
```
public void processAccessMethods()
```
    INTERNAL: For VIRTUAL access we need to look for default access methods that we need to use with our mapping attributes.
  - processAccessType
```
public void processAccessType()
```
    INTERNAL: Figure out the access type for this entity. It works as follows: 1 - check for an explicit access type specification 2 - check our inheritance parents (ignoring explicit specifications) 3 - check our mapped superclasses (ignoring explicit specifications) for the location of annotations 4 - check the entity itself for the location of annotations 5 - check for an xml default from a persistence-unit-metadata-defaults or entity-mappings setting. 6 - we have exhausted our search, default to FIELD.
    
    Overrides:
    
    processAccessType in class MappedSuperclassAccessor
  - processCaching
```
protected void processCaching()
```
    INTERNAL: Process a caching metadata for this entity accessor logging ignore warnings where necessary.
    
    Overrides:

```
    INTERNAL: Check if CascadeOnDelete was set on the Entity.
  - processClassExtractor
```
public String processClassExtractor()
```
    INTERNAL: Return the user defined class extractor class for this entity. Assumes hasClassExtractor has been called beforehand (meaning we either have an annotation or XML definition.
  - processConvert
```
public void processConvert(ConvertMetadata convert)
```
    INTERNAL: Add a convert metadata to the descriptor convert map.
  - processConverts
```
public void processConverts()
```
    INTERNAL: Process the convert metadata for this entity accessor logging ignore warnings where necessary.
  - processDerivedId
```
public void processDerivedId(HashSet<ClassAccessor> processing,
                             HashSet<ClassAccessor> processed)
```
    INTERNAL: Allows for processing DerivedIds. All referenced accessors are processed first to ensure the necessary fields are set before this derivedId is processed
    
    Overrides:
    
    processDerivedId in class ClassAccessor
  - processDiscriminatorColumn
```
public DatabaseField processDiscriminatorColumn()
```
    INTERNAL: Process the discriminator column metadata (defaulting if necessary), and return the EclipseLink database field.
  - processDiscriminatorValue
```
public String processDiscriminatorValue()
```
    INTERNAL: Process a discriminator value to set the class indicator on the root descriptor of the inheritance hierarchy. If there is no discriminator value, the class indicator defaults to the class name.
  - processEntity
```
protected void processEntity()
```
    INTERNAL: Process the entity metadata.
  - processEntityGraphs
```
protected void processEntityGraphs()
```
    INTERNAL: Process the entity graph metadata on this entity accessor.
  - processIndexes
```
protected void processIndexes()
```
    INTERNAL: Process index information for the given metadata descriptor.
  - processInheritance
```
protected void processInheritance()
```
    INTERNAL: Process the Inheritance metadata for a root of an inheritance hierarchy. One may or may not be specified for the entity class that is the root of the entity class hierarchy, so we need to default in this case. This method should only be called on the root of the inheritance hierarchy.
  - processInheritancePrimaryKeyJoinColumns
```
public void processInheritancePrimaryKeyJoinColumns()
```
    INTERNAL: Process the inheritance metadata for an inheritance subclass. The parent descriptor must be provided.
  - processListeners

```
    INTERNAL: Process the listeners for this entity.
  - processMappingAccessors

    Overrides:
    
    processMappingAccessors in class ClassAccessor
    
    See Also:

  - processSecondaryTables
```
protected void processSecondaryTables()
```
    INTERNAL: Process secondary-table(s) for a given entity.
  - processTable
```

  - processTableAndInheritance
```
protected void processTableAndInheritance()
```
    INTERNAL: Process any inheritance specifics. NOTE: Inheritance hierarchies are always processed from the top down so it is safe to assume that all our parents have already been processed fully. The only exception being when a root accessor doesn't know they are a root (defaulting case). In this case we'll tell the root accessor to process the inheritance metadata before continuing with our own processing.
