Description

Interface Summary

AbstractComponentType	Enables other Component-like types to hold collections and have cascades, etc.
AssociationType	A type that represents some kind of association between entities.
DiscriminatorType	A Type that may be used for a discriminator column.
IdentifierType	A Type that may be used as an identifier.
LiteralType	A type that may appear as an SQL literal
Type	Defines a mapping from a Java type to an JDBC datatype.
VersionType	A Type that may be used to version data.

Class Summary

AbstractBynaryType	Logic to bind stream of byte into a VARBINARY
AbstractCharArrayType	Logic to bind stream of char into a VARCHAR
AbstractType	Abstract superclass of the built in Type hierarchy.
AdaptedImmutableType	Optimize a mutable type, if the user promises not to mutable the instances.
AnyType	Handles "any" mappings and the old deprecated "object" type
AnyType.ObjectTypeCacheEntry
ArrayType	A type for persistent arrays.
BagType
BigDecimalType	big_decimal: A type that maps an SQL NUMERIC to a java.math.BigDecimal
BigIntegerType	big_integer: A type that maps an SQL NUMERIC to a java.math.BigInteger
BinaryType	binary: A type that maps an SQL VARBINARY to a Java byte[].
BlobType	blob: A type that maps an SQL BLOB to a java.sql.Blob.
BooleanType	boolean: A type that maps an SQL BIT to a Java Boolean.
ByteType	byte: A type that maps an SQL TINYINT to a Java Byte.
CalendarDateType	calendar_date: A type mapping for a Calendar object that represents a date.
CalendarType	calendar: A type mapping for a Calendar object that represents a datetime.
CharacterArrayType	Bridge Character[] and VARCHAR
CharacterType	character: A type that maps an SQL CHAR(1) to a Java Character.
CharArrayType	put char[] into VARCHAR

CollectionType	A type that handles Hibernate PersistentCollections (including arrays).
ComponentType	Handles "component" mappings
CompositeCustomType	Adapts CompositeUserType to Type interface
CurrencyType	currency: A type that maps an SQL VARCHAR to a java.util.Currency
CustomCollectionType	A custom type for mapping user-written classes that implement PersistentCollection
CustomType	Adapts UserType to the generic Type interface, in order to isolate user code from changes in the internal Type contracts.
DateType	date: A type that maps an SQL DATE to a Java Date.
DbTimestampType	dbtimestamp: An extension of TimestampType which maps to the database's current timestamp, rather than the jvm's current timestamp.
DoubleType	double: A type that maps an SQL DOUBLE to a Java Double.
EmbeddedComponentType
EntityType	Base for types which map associations to persistent entities.
FloatType	float: A type that maps an SQL FLOAT to a Java Float.
ForeignKeyDirection	Represents directionality of the foreign key constraint
IdentifierBagType
ImmutableType	Superclass of nullable immutable types.
IntegerType	integer: A type that maps an SQL INT to a Java Integer.
ListType
LocaleType	locale: A type that maps an SQL VARCHAR to a Java Locale.
LongType	long: A type that maps an SQL BIGINT to a Java Long.
ManyToOneType	A many-to-one association to an entity.
MapType
MetaType
MutableType	Superclass for mutable nullable types
NullableType	Superclass of single-column nullable types.
NumericBooleanType	Maps interger database values to boolean java values.
OneToOneType	A one-to-one association to an entity
OrderedMapType	A specialization of the map type, with (resultset-based) ordering.
OrderedSetType	A specialization of the set type, with (resultset-based) ordering.
PrimitiveType	Superclass of primitive / primitive wrapper types.
SerializableType	serializable: A type that maps an SQL VARBINARY to a serializable Java object.
SetType
ShortType	short: A type that maps an SQL SMALLINT to a Java Short.
SortedMapType
SortedSetType
SpecialOneToOneType	A one-to-one association that maps to specific formula(s) instead of the primary key column of the owning entity.
StringType	string: A type that maps an SQL VARCHAR to a Java String.
TextType	text: A type that maps an SQL CLOB to a Java String.
TimestampType	timestamp: A type that maps an SQL TIMESTAMP to a Java java.util.Date or java.sql.Timestamp.
TimeType	time: A type that maps an SQL TIME to a Java java.util.Date or java.sql.Time.
TimeZoneType	timezone: A type that maps an SQL VARCHAR to a java.util.TimeZone
TrueFalseType	true_false: A type that maps an SQL CHAR(1) to a Java Boolean.
TypeFactory	Used internally to obtain instances of Type.
WrapperBinaryType
YesNoType	yes_no: A type that maps an SQL CHAR(1) to a Java Boolean.
