    • fetchVecs

      public void fetchVecs()
      This is meant to cause JPA load vectors that are not automatically loaded. The idea is, they can be accessible through this object even after the EntityManager is closed.

    • getLongId

      public long getLongId()
      A very cludgy way to call getId() regardless of whether it's returning int or long

    • ignores

      public boolean ignores​(String fieldName)
      In some classes, certain fields should not be displayed or modified unless certain conditions apply. E.g., some fields of a User object only applies in certain programs. Implementing classes override this method as needed to impose appropriate restrictions.

    • reflectToString

      public String reflectToString()
