replace

public Object replace(Object original,

Description copied from interface: Type
During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging. For immutable objects, or null values, it is safe to simply return the first parameter. For mutable objects, it is safe to return a copy of the first parameter. For objects with component values, it might make sense to recursively replace component values.

Parameters:
original - the value from the detached entity being merged
target - the value in the managed entity
Returns:
the value to be merged

isMutable

Description copied from interface: Type
Are objects of this type mutable. (With respect to the referencing object ... entities and collections are considered immutable because they manage their own internal state.)

                  throws HibernateException
Description copied from interface: Type
A representation of the value to be embedded in an XML element.

Throws:
HibernateException

public boolean[] toColumnNullness(Object value,
                                  Mapping mapping)
Description copied from interface: Type

Parameters:
value - an instance of the type

public boolean isDirty(Object old,
                       Object current,
                       boolean[] checkable,
