Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`fetchVecs()`	This is meant to cause JPA load vectors that are not automatically loaded.
`long`	`getLongId()`	A very cludgy way to call getId() regardless of whether it's returning int or long
`boolean`	`ignores(String fieldName)`	In some classes, certain fields should not be displayed or modified unless certain conditions apply.
`String`	`reflectToString()`
`boolean`	`validate(javax.persistence.EntityManager em, StringBuffer errmsg)`	Validates a recently created entry, before it has been put into the database.

  - validate
```
public boolean validate(javax.persistence.EntityManager em,
                        StringBuffer errmsg)
```
    Validates a recently created entry, before it has been put into the database. Adds any error message text to errmsg.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if ok
  - 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()
```
