Interface Summary

Interface	Description
CriteriaQuery	An instance of CriteriaQuery is passed to criterion, order and projection instances when actually compiling and executing the query.
CriteriaSpecification
Criterion	An object-oriented representation of a query criterion that may be used as a restriction in a Criteria query.
EnhancedProjection	An "enhanced" Projection for a Criteria query.
Example.PropertySelector	A strategy for choosing property values for inclusion in the query criteria
Projection	An object-oriented representation of a query result set projection in a Criteria query.
