Package org.hibernate.collection.spi
This package defines the SPI of a framework for lazy-initializing
and state-tracking collection wrappers.
The interface PersistentCollection
and all its implementations belong to an SPI. They are not part of the
public API of Hibernate, and are not meant to be used directly by typical
programs which use Hibernate for persistence.

Interface Summary Interface Description AbstractPersistentCollection.DelayedOperation<E> Contract for operations which are part of a collection's operation queue.AbstractPersistentCollection.LazyInitializationWork<T> TBH not sure why this is publicAbstractPersistentCollection.ValueDelayedOperation<E> BagSemantics<BE extends Collection<E>,E> CollectionInitializerProducer Functional contract to create aCollectionInitializer.CollectionSemantics<CE,E> Each instance of this interface describes the semantics of some sort of persistent collection so that Hibernate understands how to manage the lifecycle of instances of that sort of collection.CollectionSemanticsResolver Resolve the collection semantics for the given mapped collection.LazyInitializable The most general abstraction over collections which may be fetched lazily.MapSemantics<MKV extends Map<K,V>,K,V> Extension ofCollectionSemanticsfor MapsPersistentCollection<E> Persistent collections are treated as value objects by Hibernate. -
