Element Detail

value

public abstract Class<?> value

The type of AttributeConverter implementation to use on this property.

Default:

org.neo4j.ogm.annotation.typeconversion.Convert.Unset.class

graphPropertyType

public abstract Class<?> graphPropertyType

The type to which the value of the annotated member should be converted before saving as a property in the graph database.

This is an optional attribute that should only be needed if value() hasn't been set to an explicit converter, as it only gets used to look up converters that can do the job at runtime.

Default:

org.neo4j.ogm.annotation.typeconversion.Convert.Unset.class
