PojoTypeModel (Hibernate Search Mapper - POJO Base 6.1.7.Final API)

Type Parameters:

T - The pojo type

All Known Subinterfaces:

PojoGenericTypeModel<T>, PojoRawTypeModel<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPojoGenericTypeModel, AbstractPojoHCAnnRawTypeModel, AbstractPojoRawTypeModel, GenericContextAwarePojoGenericTypeModel, SyntheticPojoGenericTypeModel
```
public interface PojoTypeModel<T>
```
A model representing a POJO type: its structure (properties and their type), its name, ...
Most of the time, type models represent a Java class, either raw or parameterized. However, it is also possible that a given type model represents a subset of all instances of a given Java class, which all follow a common convention regarding their structure.
For example, a type model could represent a Map-based type where properties are defined by the map entries and where all instances are required to have a value of type Integer for the key "age".

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`<U> Optional<PojoTypeModel<? extends U>>`	`castTo(Class<U> target)`

`PojoRawTypeModel<? super T>`	`rawType()`

- Method Detail
  - name
```
String name()
```
    Returns:
    
    A human-readable name for this type.
  - rawType
```
PojoRawTypeModel<? super T> rawType()
```
    Returns:
    
    A representation of the closest parent Java Class for this type.
  - property
```
PojoPropertyModel<?> property(String propertyName)
```
  - castTo
```
<U> Optional<PojoTypeModel<? extends U>> castTo(Class<U> target)
```
    Type Parameters:
    
    U - The type to cast to.
    
    Parameters:
    
    target - The type to cast to.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new type model, representing the current type cast to the given type, or Optional.empty() if casting is not supported. The type model will retain as much contextual type information as possible (type arguments, ...), so casting List<Integer> to Collection for example would return Collection<Integer>.
