addSubgraph

Subgraph addSubgraph(java.lang.String attribute,
                   java.lang.Class type)

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
