Package org.hibernate.persister.collection Description

This package abstracts the persistence mechanism for collections.

Concrete implementations of CollectionPersister define strategies for persistence of particular collection roles. Collection persisters may optionally implement QueryableCollection if they should be queryable using HQL or loaded using OuterJoinLoader.
