• Annotation Types Summary

  Annotation Type	Description
  	Deprecated Use  instead; renamed to avoid confusion with the JPA  enum.
  	Defines a ToOne-style association pointing to one of several entity types depending on a local discriminator, as opposed to discriminated inheritance where the discriminator is kept as part of the entity hierarchy.
  	Used to provide metadata about an   or   mapping.
  	Used to group together   annotations.
  	Names a persistent property access strategy ( ) to use.

  	Used to apply a Hibernate formula (derived value) as the inheritance discriminator "column".
  	Optional annotation to express Hibernate specific discrimintor properties.
  	For inserting, should this entity use dynamic sql generation where only non-null columns get referenced in the prepared sql statement?
  	For updating, should this entity use dynamic sql generation where only changed columns get referenced in the prepared sql statement? Note, for re-attachment of detached entities this is not possible without select-before-update being enabled.

  	Add multiple  @Filters.
  	Deprecated Prefer the JPA 2.1 introduced  instead.
  	Defines a formula (derived value) which is a SQL fragment that acts as a @Column alternative in most cases.
  	The annotated property is generated by the database.
  	Marks a property as generated, specifying the   type to be used for generating the value.
  	Generator annotation describing any kind of Hibernate generator in a generic (de-typed) manner.
  	Array of generic generator definitions.
  	Mark an Entity, a Collection, or an Attribute type as immutable.
  	Deprecated Using  instead.

  	Defines the start index value for a list index as stored on the database.
  	Used to override how Hibernate performs load operations.
  	This is the collection-valued form of @Any definitions.

  	A grouping of Hibernate-specific   definitions.
  	Extends   with Hibernate features.
  	A grouping of Hibernate-specific   definitions.
  	Extends   with Hibernate features.
  	Marks a character data type (String, Character, character, Clob) as being a nationalized variant (NVARCHAR, NCHAR, NCLOB, etc).
  	This specifies that a property is part of the natural id of the entity.
  	Used to specify that the natural id values associated with the annotated entity should be cached in Hibernate's shared (L2) cache.
  	Action to do when an element is not found on a association.
  	Strategy to use on collections, arrays and on joined subclasses delete.
  	Whether or not a change of the annotated property will trigger a entity version increment.

  	Support for  ROWID mapping feature of Hibernate.
  	Should the entity's current state be selected from the database when determining whether to perform an update when re-attaching detached entities?
  	Deprecated Use  or  instead depending on need.
  	Specifies in-memory Set/Map sorting using a specified   for sorting.
  	Specifies in-memory Set/Map sorting using natural sorting.
