Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AssociationType	A type that represents some kind of association between entities.
BasicType	Marker interface for basic types.
CompositeType	Contract for value types to hold collections and have cascades, etc.
DiscriminatorType<T>	Additional contract for a Type may be used for a discriminator.
IdentifierType<T>	Additional contract for a Type may be used for a discriminator.
LiteralType<T>	Additional contract for a Type that may appear as an SQL literal
PrimitiveType<T>	Additional contract for primitive / primitive wrapper types.
ProcedureParameterExtractionAware<T>	Optional Type contract for implementations that are aware of how to extract values from store procedure OUT/INOUT parameters.
ProcedureParameterNamedBinder	Optional Type contract for implementations enabled to set store procedure OUT/INOUT parameters values by name.
SingleColumnType<T>	Provide convenient methods for binding and extracting values for use with BasicType.
StringRepresentableType<T>	Additional, optional contract for types capable of rendering and consuming their values to/from strings.
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).
TypeFactory.TypeScope	Deprecated Use TypeConfiguration/TypeConfiguration.Scope instead
VersionType<T>	Additional contract for types which may be used to version (and optimistic lock) data.
