public interface Extent<T>
extends Iterable<T>

An extent is a logical view of all instances of a class.

Method Summary
 void closeAll()
          Close all open iterators that are consuming database resources.
 Extent getDelegate()
          Deprecated. cast to ExtentImpl instead. This method pierces the published-API boundary, as does the SPI cast.
 Class<T> getElementClass()
          The extent's element type.
 OpenJPAEntityManager getEntityManager()
          The owning entity manager.
 FetchPlan getFetchPlan()
          Fetch configuration for controlling how iterated objects are loaded.
 boolean getIgnoreChanges()
          Whether the extent sees inserts and deletes in the current transaction.
 boolean hasSubclasses()
          Whether the extent includes subclasses.
 List<T> list()
          List the extent contents.
 void setIgnoreChanges(boolean ignoreChanges)
          Whether the extent sees inserts and deletes in the current transaction.
