Description

Interface Summary

Cache	Provides an API for querying/managing the second level cache regions.
Criteria	Criteria is a simplified API for retrieving entities by composing Criterion objects.
CustomEntityDirtinessStrategy	During a flush cycle, Hibernate needs to determine which of the entities associated with a Session.
CustomEntityDirtinessStrategy.AttributeChecker	Responsible for identifying when attributes are dirty.
CustomEntityDirtinessStrategy.AttributeInformation	Provides CustomEntityDirtinessStrategy.AttributeChecker with meta information about the attributes being checked.
CustomEntityDirtinessStrategy.DirtyCheckContext	A callback to drive dirty checking.
EntityNameResolver	Contract for resolving an entity-name from a given entity instance.
Filter	Type definition of Filter.
IdentifierLoadAccess	Loads an entity by its primary identifier
Interceptor	Allows user code to inspect and/or change property values.
LobHelper	A session's helper for creating LOB data
NaturalIdLoadAccess	Loads an entity by its natural identifier
Query	An object-oriented representation of a Hibernate query.
ScrollableResults	A result iterator that allows moving around within the results by arbitrary increments.
Session	The main runtime interface between a Java application and Hibernate.
Session.LockRequest	Contains locking details (LockMode, Timeout and Scope).
SessionBuilder	Represents a consolidation of all session creation options into a builder style delegate.
SessionEventListener	NOTE : Consider this an incubating API, likely to change as wider usage indicates changes that need to be made
SessionFactory	The main contract here is the creation of Session instances.
SessionFactory.SessionFactoryOptions
SessionFactoryObserver	Allows reaction to basic SessionFactory occurrences.
SharedSessionBuilder	Specialized SessionBuilder with access to stuff from another session
SharedSessionContract	Contract methods shared between Session and StatelessSession
SimpleNaturalIdLoadAccess	Loads an entity by its natural identifier
SQLQuery	Represents a "native sql" query and allows the user to define certain aspects about its execution, such as: result-set value mapping (see below) Tables used via SQLQuery.addSynchronizedQuerySpace(java.lang.String), SQLQuery.addSynchronizedEntityName(java.lang.String) and SQLQuery.addSynchronizedEntityClass(java.lang.Class).
SQLQuery.FetchReturn	Allows access to further control how join fetch returns are mapped back from result sets
SQLQuery.ReturnProperty	Allows access to further control how properties within a root or join fetch are mapped back from the result set.
SQLQuery.RootReturn	Allows access to further control how root returns are mapped back from result sets
SQLQueryResultMappingBuilder	Allows programmatic access from SQLQuery to define how to map SQL results back to in-memory objects, both entities as well as scalars.
SQLQueryResultMappingBuilder.ReturnsHolder
StatelessSession	A command-oriented API for performing bulk operations against a database.
StatelessSessionBuilder	Represents a consolidation of all stateless session creation options into a builder style delegate.
Transaction	Defines the contract for abstracting applications from the configured underlying means of transaction management.
TypeHelper	Provides access to the various Type instances associated with the SessionFactory.

Class Summary

BaseSessionEventListener	A no-op implementation of SessionEventListener.
EmptyInterceptor	An interceptor that does nothing.
Hibernate	Provides access to the full range of Hibernate built-in types.
LockOptions	Contains locking details (LockMode, Timeout and Scope).
SQLQueryResultMappingBuilder.ScalarReturn
Version	Information about the Hibernate version.

Enum Summary

CacheMode	Controls how the session interacts with the second-level cache and query cache.
ConnectionReleaseMode	Defines the various policies by which Hibernate might release its underlying JDBC connection.
DuplicateMappingException.Type
EntityMode	Defines the representation modes available for entities.
FetchMode	Represents an association fetching strategy.
FlushMode	Represents a flushing strategy.
LockMode	Instances represent a lock mode for a row of a relational database table.
MultiTenancyStrategy	Describes the methods for multi-tenancy understood by Hibernate.
NullPrecedence	Defines precedence of null values within ORDER BY clause.
ReplicationMode	Represents a replication strategy.
ScrollMode	Specifies the type of JDBC scrollable result set to use underneath a ScrollableResults

Exception Summary

AnnotationException	Annotation related exception.
AssertionFailure	Indicates failure of an assertion: a possible bug in Hibernate.
CallbackException	Should be thrown by persistent objects from Lifecycle or Interceptor callbacks.
DuplicateMappingException	Raised whenever a duplicate for a certain type occurs.
HibernateException	The base Throwable type for Hibernate.
InstantiationException	Thrown if Hibernate can't instantiate an entity or component class at runtime.
InvalidMappingException	Thrown when a mapping is found to be invalid.
JDBCException	Wraps an SQLException.
LazyInitializationException	Indicates access to unfetched data outside of a session context.
MappingException	An exception that usually occurs at configuration time, rather than runtime, as a result of something screwy in the O-R mappings.
MappingNotFoundException	Thrown when a resource for a mapping could not be found.
NonUniqueObjectException	This exception is thrown when an operation would break session-scoped identity.
NonUniqueResultException	Thrown when the application calls Query.uniqueResult() and the query returned more than one result.
ObjectDeletedException	Thrown when the user tries to do something illegal with a deleted object.
ObjectNotFoundException	Thrown when Session.load() fails to select a row with the given primary key (identifier value).
OptimisticLockException	Deprecated. Use OptimisticEntityLockException instead
PersistentObjectException	Thrown when the user passes a persistent instance to a Session method that expects a transient instance.
PessimisticLockException	Thrown when a pessimistic locking conflict occurs.
PropertyAccessException	A problem occurred accessing a property of an instance of a persistent class by reflection, or via CGLIB.
PropertyNotFoundException	Indicates that an expected getter or setter method could not be found on a class.
PropertyValueException	Thrown when the (illegal) value of a property can not be persisted.
QueryException	A problem occurred translating a Hibernate query to SQL due to invalid query syntax, etc.
QueryParameterException	Parameter invalid or not found in the query
QueryTimeoutException	Thrown when a database query timeout occurs.
ResourceClosedException	Indicates an attempt was made to use a closed resource (Session, SessionFactory, etc).
SessionException	Thrown when the user calls a method of a Session that is in an inappropriate state for the given call (for example, the the session is closed or disconnected).
StaleObjectStateException	A StaleStateException that carries information about a particular entity instance that was the source of the failure.
StaleStateException	Thrown when a version number or timestamp check failed, indicating that the Session contained stale data (when using long transactions with versioning).
TransactionException	Indicates that a transaction could not be begun, committed or rolled back.
TransientObjectException	Thrown when the user passes a transient instance to a Session method that expects a persistent instance.
TransientPropertyValueException	Thrown when a property cannot be persisted because it is an association with a transient unsaved entity instance.
TypeMismatchException	Used when a user provided type does not match the expected one
UnknownProfileException	Used to indicate a request against an unknown profile name.
UnresolvableObjectException	Thrown when Hibernate could not resolve an object by id, especially when loading an association.
WrongClassException	Thrown when Session.load() selects a row with the given primary key (identifier value) but the row's discriminator value specifies a subclass that is not assignable to the class requested by the user.
