Class ImmutableColumn

java.lang.Object
  org.eobjects.metamodel.schema.AbstractColumn
      org.eobjects.metamodel.schema.ImmutableColumn

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Column>, Column, NamedStructure, HasName

public final class ImmutableColumn
extends AbstractColumn
implements Serializable

Immutable implementation of the Column interface. It is not intended to be instantiated on it's own. Rather, use the constructor in ImmutableSchema.
