Interface Summary

Interface	Description
BasicQueryContract	Defines the aspects of query definition that apply to all forms of querying.
Cache	Provides an API for querying/managing the second level cache regions.
Criteria	Criteria is a simplified API for retrieving entities by composing Criterion objects.
CustomEntityDirtinessStrategy	During a flush cycle, Hibernate needs to determine which of the entities associated with a Session.
CustomEntityDirtinessStrategy.AttributeChecker	Responsible for identifying when attributes are dirty.
CustomEntityDirtinessStrategy.AttributeInformation	Provides CustomEntityDirtinessStrategy.AttributeChecker with meta information about the attributes being checked.
CustomEntityDirtinessStrategy.DirtyCheckContext	A callback to drive dirty checking.
EntityNameResolver	Contract for resolving an entity-name from a given entity instance.
Filter	Type definition of Filter.
IdentifierLoadAccess<T>	Loads an entity by its primary identifier.
Interceptor	Allows user code to inspect and/or change property values.
LobHelper	A session's helper for creating LOB data.
NaturalIdLoadAccess<T>	Loads an entity by its natural identifier.
Query	An object-oriented representation of a Hibernate query.
ScrollableResults	A result iterator that allows moving around within the results by arbitrary increments.
Session	The main runtime interface between a Java application and Hibernate.
Session.LockRequest	Contains locking details (LockMode, Timeout and Scope).
SessionBuilder	Represents a consolidation of all session creation options into a builder style delegate.
SessionEventListener	NOTE : Consider this an incubating API, likely to change as wider usage indicates changes that need to be made
SessionFactory	The main contract here is the creation of Session instances.
SessionFactoryObserver	Allows reaction to basic SessionFactory occurrences.
SharedSessionBuilder	Specialized SessionBuilder with access to stuff from another session.
SharedSessionContract	Contract methods shared between Session and StatelessSession.
SimpleNaturalIdLoadAccess<T>	Loads an entity by its natural identifier.
SQLQuery	Represents a "native sql" query.
SQLQuery.FetchReturn	Allows access to further control how join fetch returns are mapped back from result sets.
SQLQuery.ReturnProperty	Allows access to further control how properties within a root or join fetch are mapped back from the result set.
SQLQuery.RootReturn	Allows access to further control how root returns are mapped back from result sets.
StatelessSession	A command-oriented API for performing bulk operations against a database.
StatelessSessionBuilder	Represents a consolidation of all stateless session creation options into a builder style delegate.
SynchronizeableQuery	A unifying interface for queries which can define tables (query spaces) to synchronize on.
Transaction	Defines the contract for abstracting applications from the configured underlying means of transaction management.
TypeHelper	Provides access to the various Type instances associated with the SessionFactory.

Class Summary

Class	Description
BaseSessionEventListener	A no-op implementation of SessionEventListener.
EmptyInterceptor	An interceptor that does nothing.
Hibernate	Provides access to the full range of Hibernate built-in types.
LockOptions	Contains locking details (LockMode, Timeout and Scope).
Version	Information about the Hibernate version.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
CacheMode	Controls how the session interacts with the second-level cache and query cache.
ConnectionAcquisitionMode	Indicates the manner in which JDBC Connections should be acquired.
ConnectionReleaseMode	Defines the various policies by which Hibernate might release its underlying JDBC connection.
DuplicateMappingException.Type	Enumeration of the types of things that can be duplicated.
EntityMode	Defines the representation modes available for entities.
FetchMode	Represents an association fetching strategy.
FlushMode	Represents a flushing strategy.
LockMode	Instances represent a lock mode for a row of a relational database table.
MultiTenancyStrategy	Describes the methods for multi-tenancy understood by Hibernate.
NullPrecedence	Defines precedence of null values within ORDER BY clause.
ReplicationMode	Represents a replication strategy.
ScrollMode	Specifies the type of JDBC scrollable result set to use underneath a ScrollableResults.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
AnnotationException	Annotation related exception.
AssertionFailure	Indicates failure of an assertion: a possible bug in Hibernate.
CallbackException	Intended to be thrown from Lifecycle and Interceptor callbacks.
DuplicateMappingException	Raised whenever a duplicate for a certain type occurs.
HibernateError	Marks a group of exceptions that generally indicate an internal Hibernate error or bug.
HibernateException	The base exception type for Hibernate exceptions.
InstantiationException	Thrown if Hibernate can't instantiate a class at runtime.
InvalidMappingException	Thrown when a mapping is found to be invalid.
JDBCException	Wraps a SQLException.
LazyInitializationException	Indicates an attempt to access not-yet-fetched data outside of a session context.
MappingException	An exception that occurs while reading mapping sources (xml/annotations),usually as a result of something screwy in the O-R mappings.
MappingNotFoundException	Deprecated Use MappingNotFoundException instead.
NonUniqueObjectException	This exception is thrown when an operation would break session-scoped identity.
NonUniqueResultException	Thrown when the application calls Query.uniqueResult() and the query returned more than one result.
ObjectDeletedException	Thrown when the user tries to do something illegal with a deleted object.
ObjectNotFoundException	Thrown when Session.load() fails to select a row with the given primary key (identifier value).
OptimisticLockException	Deprecated Use OptimisticEntityLockException instead
PersistentObjectException	Thrown when the user passes a persistent instance to a Session method that expects a transient instance.
PessimisticLockException	Thrown when a pessimistic locking conflict occurs.
PropertyAccessException	A problem occurred accessing a property of an instance of a persistent class by reflection, or via CGLIB.
PropertyNotFoundException	Indicates that an expected getter or setter method could not be found on a class.
PropertySetterAccessException
PropertyValueException	Thrown when the (illegal) value of a property can not be persisted.
QueryException	A problem occurred translating a Hibernate query to SQL due to invalid query syntax, etc.
QueryParameterException	Parameter invalid or not found in the query.
QueryTimeoutException	Thrown when a database query timeout occurs.
ResourceClosedException	Indicates an attempt was made to use a closed resource (Session, SessionFactory, etc).
SessionException	Thrown when the user calls a method of a Session that is in an inappropriate state for the given call (for example, the the session is closed or disconnected).
StaleObjectStateException	A specialized StaleStateException that carries information about the particular entity instance that was the source of the failure.
StaleStateException	Thrown when a version number or timestamp check failed, indicating that the Session contained stale data (when using long transactions with versioning).
TransactionException	Indicates that a transaction could not be begun, committed or rolled back.
TransientObjectException	Thrown when the user passes a transient instance to a Session method that expects a persistent instance.
TransientPropertyValueException	Thrown when a property cannot be persisted because it is an association with a transient unsaved entity instance.
TypeMismatchException	Used when a user provided type does not match the expected one.
UnknownEntityTypeException	Indicates an attempt was made to refer to an unknown entity name/class.
UnknownProfileException	Used to indicate a request against an unknown profile name.
UnresolvableObjectException	Thrown when Hibernate could not resolve an object by id, especially when loading an association.
UnsupportedLockAttemptException	This exception is thrown when an invalid LockMode is selected for an entity.
WrongClassException	Thrown when loading an entity (by identifier) results in a value that cannot be treated as the subclass type requested by the caller.
