        A description of the entity.
      • category

        public final String category()

        The type of entities that are present in the response. This value depends on the source connection. For example this is SObjects for Salesforce and databases or schemas or tables for sources like Amazon Redshift.

        Returns:
        The type of entities that are present in the response. This value depends on the source connection. For example this is SObjects for Salesforce and databases or schemas or tables for sources like Amazon Redshift.
      • hasCustomProperties

        public final boolean hasCustomProperties()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the CustomProperties property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • customProperties

        public final Map<String,​String> customProperties()

        An optional map of keys which may be returned for an entity by a connector.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasCustomProperties() method.

        Returns:
        An optional map of keys which may be returned for an entity by a connector.
      • serializableBuilderClass

        public static Class<? extends Entity.Builder> serializableBuilderClass()
      • hashCode

        public final int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
      • equals

        public final boolean equals​(Object obj)
        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
      • toString

        public final String toString()
        Returns a string representation of this object. This is useful for testing and debugging. Sensitive data will be redacted from this string using a placeholder value.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
      • getValueForField

        public final <T> Optional<T> getValueForField​(String fieldName,
                                                      Class<T> clazz)
