suffix.

 public String getElementNodeName()

 public Type getElementType()
Get the "element" type

 public SessionFactoryImplementor getFactory()

 public String getIdentifierColumnAlias(String suffix)
Generates the collection's identifier column aliases, based on the given
suffix.

 public IdentifierGenerator getIdentifierGenerator()

    Map enabledFilters)

 public String getNodeName()

 public EntityPersister getOwnerEntityPersister()
Get the persister of the entity that "owns" this collection

 public String getRole()
Get the name of this collection role (the fully qualified class name,
extended by a "property path")

 public int getSize(Serializable key,
    SessionImplementor session)

 public boolean hasCache()
Is this collection role cacheable

 public boolean hasIndex()
Is this an "indexed" collection? (list or map)

 public boolean hasManyToManyOrdering()

 public boolean hasOrdering()
Is this an ordered collection? (An ordered collection is
ordered by the initialization operation, not by sorting
that happens in memory, as in the case of a sorted collection.)

 public boolean hasOrphanDelete()
Does this collection implement "orphan delete"?

 public boolean indexExists(Serializable key,
    Object index,
    SessionImplementor session)

 public  void initialize(Serializable key,
    SessionImplementor session) throws HibernateException

    Serializable key,
    SessionImplementor session) throws HibernateException
Insert the persistent state of any new collection elements

 public boolean isAffectedByEnabledFilters(SessionImplementor session)

 public boolean isArray()
Is this an array?

 abstract public boolean isCascadeDeleteEnabled()
Is cascade delete handled by the database-level
foreign key constraint definition?

 public boolean isExtraLazy()

 public boolean isInverse()
Is this collection "inverse", so state changes are not
propogated to the database.

 public boolean isLazy()
Is this collection lazyily initialized?

 public boolean isManyToMany()
Is this a many-to-many association?  Note that this is mainly
a convenience feature as the single persister does not
conatin all the information needed to handle a many-to-many
itself, as internally it is looked at as two many-to-ones.

 public boolean isMutable()
Can the elements of this collection change?

 public boolean isOneToMany()
Is this a one-to-many association?

 public boolean isPrimitiveArray()
Is this an array or primitive values?

 public boolean isVersioned()
Does this collection cause version increment of the 
owning entity?
