LazyInitializable (Hibernate JavaDocs)

All Known Subinterfaces:

PersistentCollection<E>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPersistentCollection, CollectionProxy, ListProxy, MapProxy, PersistentArrayHolder, PersistentBag, PersistentIdentifierBag, PersistentList, PersistentMap, PersistentSet, PersistentSortedMap, PersistentSortedSet, SetProxy, SortedMapProxy, SortedSetProxy
```
public interface LazyInitializable
```
Hibernate "wraps" a java collection in an instance of PersistentCollection. Envers uses custom collection wrappers (ListProxy, SetProxy, etc). All of them need to extend LazyInitializable, so the Hibernate.isInitialized method can check if the collection is initialized or not.
