Field Detail

relatedCache

public transient Map<String,List<GenericValue>> relatedCache

HashMap to cache various related entity collections

relatedOneCache

public transient Map<String,GenericValue> relatedOneCache

originalDbValues

protected Map<String,Object> originalDbValues

This Map will contain the original field values from the database iff this GenericValue came from the database. If it was made manually it will no have this Map, ie it will be null to not take up memory.
