Package org.hibernate.type

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AdjustableBasicType<J>	Extension contract for BasicType implementations that understand how to adjust themselves relative to where/how they are used (e.g.
AssociationType	A type that represents some kind of association between entities.
BasicPluralType<C,E>	A basic plural type.
BasicType<T>	Marker interface for basic types.
CompositeType	Contract for value types to hold collections and have cascades, etc.
ConvertedBasicType<J>	Extension for BasicType impls which have an implied conversion
FormatMapper	A mapper for mapping objects to and from a format.
ProcedureParameterExtractionAware<T>	Optional Type contract for implementations that are aware of how to extract values from store procedure OUT/INOUT parameters.
ProcedureParameterNamedBinder<J>	Optional Type contract for implementations enabled to set store procedure OUT/INOUT parameters values by name.
Type	Defines a mapping between a Java type and one or more JDBC types, as well as describing the in-memory semantics of the given java type (how do we check it for 'dirtiness', how do we copy values, etc).
