  - ### Method Detail

    - #### checkIfFrozen

          protected void checkIfFrozen()

      Throws an exception if this FieldType is frozen. Subclasses should call this within setters for additional state.

    - #### freeze

          public void freeze()

      Prevents future changes. Note, it is recommended that this is called once the FieldTypes's properties have been set, to prevent unintentional state changes.

    - #### stored

          public boolean stored()

      True if the field's value should be stored

      The default is `false`.

      Specified by:
