name - The name of the column

mapping - The type mapping for this column

colmd - The column MetaData

Returns:

The new Column

hasDatastoreField

boolean hasDatastoreField(DatastoreIdentifier identifier)

Checks if there is a DatastoreField for the identifier

Parameters:

identifier - the identifier of the DatastoreField
