    name of this field.
  - isKey
```
boolean isKey()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if this field is a key field. A key field is included in hashcode() calculation and on the equals() method evaluation. Non-key fields are not checked in this method.
  - set
```
void set(Object bean,
         Object value)
```
    Sets the value of this field in the given fact.

    bean - fact on which to set the field.
    
    value - the value to set on the field.
  - get
```
Object get(Object bean)
```
    Parameters:
    
    bean - the fact from which the field will be read.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of this field on the given fact.
  - getIndex
```
int getIndex()
```
    Returns the index of this field in the field list for the defining fact type. The list (and thus the index) takes into account the fields inherited from the parent class, if any.
    
    Returns:
    
    the index of this field in the defining type
  - getFieldAnnotations
```
List<Annotation> getFieldAnnotations()
```
    Returns the list of field-level annotations used in this field definition
    
    Returns:
    
    the list of field-level annotations
  - getMetaData
```
Map<String,Object> getMetaData()
```
    Returns the annotations of this field definition as key-value pairs.
    
    Returns:
    
    a key-value map of the field-level annotations
