Package org.hibernate.mapping

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AttributeContainer	Defines an additional contract for PersistentClass/Join in terms of being able to contain attributes (Property).
AuxiliaryDatabaseObject	Auxiliary database objects (i.e., triggers, stored procedures, etc) defined in the mappings.
Fetchable	Any mapping with an outer-join attribute
Filterable	Defines mapping elements to which filters may be applied.
KeyValue	Represents an identifying key of a table: the value for primary key of an entity, or a foreign key of a collection or join table or joined subclass table.
MetaAttributable	Common interface for things that can handle meta attributes.
PersistentClassVisitor
RelationalModel	Deprecated. (since 5.2) not needed anymore.
Selectable	Models the commonality between a column and a formula (computed value).
TableOwner	Additional, optional contract as part pf the PersistentClass hierarchy used to differentiate entity bindings for entities that map to their own table (root, union-subclass, joined-subclass) versus those that do not (discriminator-subclass).
Value	A value is anything that is persisted by value, instead of by reference.
ValueVisitor

Class Summary

Class	Description
Any	A Hibernate "any" type (ie.
Array	An array mapping has a primary key consisting of the key columns + index column.
Backref
Bag	A bag permits duplicates, so it has no primary key
Collection	Mapping for a collection.
Column	A column of a relational database table
Component	The mapping for a component, composite element, composite identifier, etc.
Component.StandardGenerationContextLocator
Component.ValueGenerationPlan
Constraint	A relational constraint.
DenormalizedTable
DependantValue	A value which is "typed" by reference to some other value (for example, a foreign key is typed by the referenced primary key).
FetchProfile	A fetch profile allows a user to dynamically modify the fetching strategy used for particular associations at runtime, whereas that information was historically only statically defined in the metadata.
FetchProfile.Fetch	Defines an individual association fetch within the given profile.
ForeignKey	A foreign key constraint
Formula	A formula is a derived column value
IdentifierBag	An IdentifierBag has a primary key consisting of just the identifier column
IdentifierCollection	A collection with a synthetic "identifier" column
IdGenerator	Identifier generator container, Useful to keep named generator in annotations
Index	A relational table index
IndexBackref
IndexedCollection	Indexed collections include Lists, Maps, arrays and primitive arrays.
Join
JoinedSubclass	A subclass in a table-per-subclass mapping
List	A list mapping has a primary key consisting of the key columns + index column.
ManyToOne	A many-to-one association mapping
Map	A map has a primary key consisting of the key columns + index columns.
MappedSuperclass	Represents a @MappedSuperclass.
MetaAttribute	A meta attribute is a named value or values.
OneToMany	A mapping for a one-to-many association
OneToOne	A one-to-one association mapping
PersistentClass	Mapping for an entity.
PrimaryKey	A primary key constraint
PrimitiveArray	A primitive array has a primary key consisting of the key columns + index column.
Property	Represents a property as part of an entity or a component.
PropertyGeneration	Deprecated. This is replaced by ValueGeneration and GenerationTiming
RootClass	The root class of an inheritance hierarchy
Set	A set with no nullable element columns.
SimpleValue	Any value that maps to columns.
SingleTableSubclass
Subclass	A sublass in a table-per-class-hierarchy mapping
SyntheticProperty	Models a property which does not actually exist in the model.
Table	A relational table
Table.ForeignKeyKey
ToOne	A simple-point association (ie.
TypeDef	Placeholder for typedef information
UnionSubclass	A subclass in a table-per-concrete-class mapping
UniqueKey	A relational unique key constraint

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
MetadataSource	Enumeration of the known places from which a piece of metadata may come.
