`java.lang.String`	`getName()`	Returns the name of the static EntityGraph.

- Method Detail
  - getName
```
java.lang.String getName()
```
    Returns the name of the static EntityGraph. Will return null if the EntityGraph is not a named EntityGraph.
  - addAttributeNodes
```
void addAttributeNodes(java.lang.String... attributeName)
```
  - addSubgraph
```
Subgraph addSubgraph(java.lang.String attribute)
```
  - addSubgraph
```
Subgraph addSubgraph(java.lang.String attribute,
                     java.lang.Class type)
```
    Used to add a node of the graph that corresponds to a managed type with inheritance. This allows for multiple subclass sub-graphs to be defined for this node of the entity graph. Subclass sub-graphs will include the specified attributes of superclass sub-graphs
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the attribute is not an attribute of this managed type.
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the attribute's target type is not a managed type
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this EntityGraph has been statically defined
  - getAttributeNodes
```
java.util.List<AttributeNode> getAttributeNodes()
```
