Package org.hibernate.tuple

<p> This package defines a runtime metamodel for entities at the object level and abstracts the differences between the various entity modes.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AnnotationValueGeneration<A extends Annotation>	A ValueGeneration based on a custom Java generator annotation type.
Attribute	Contract for attributes
IdentifierAttribute
InDatabaseValueGenerationStrategy	Strategy for describing values which are generated in the database.
InMemoryValueGenerationStrategy
Instantiator	Contract for implementors responsible for instantiating entity/component instances.
NonIdentifierAttribute
Property	Deprecated Use the direct Attribute hierarchy
Tuplizer	A tuplizer defines the contract for things which know how to manage a particular representation of a piece of data, given that representation’s EntityMode (the entity-mode essentially defining which representation).
ValueGeneration	Describes the generation of property values.
ValueGenerator<T>	Defines a generator for in-VM generation of (non-identifier) attribute values.

BaselineAttributeInformation
BaselineAttributeInformation.Builder
CreationTimestampGeneration	Value generation implementation for CreationTimestamp.
DynamicMapInstantiator
GeneratedValueGeneration	A AnnotationValueGeneration which marks a property as generated in the database.
IdentifierProperty	Represents a defined entity identifier property within the Hibernate runtime-metamodel.
PojoInstantiator	Defines a POJO-based instantiator for use from the tuplizers.
PropertyFactory	Responsible for generation of runtime metamodel Property representations.
StandardProperty	Deprecated Use one of the Attribute-based impls instead.
UpdateTimestampGeneration	Value generation implementation for UpdateTimestamp.
VmValueGeneration	A AnnotationValueGeneration which allows to specify the ValueGenerator to be used to determine the value of the annotated property.
