AbstractComponentType

Retrieve the cascade style of the indicated component property.

Get the names of the component properties

Extract a particular component property value indicated by index.

Extract the values of the component properties from the given component instance without access to the session.

Is this component embedded? "embedded" indicates that the component is "virtual", that its properties are "flattened" onto its owner

Inject property values onto the given component instance

An optional operation

Reconstruct the object from its cached "disassembled" state.

Perform a Comparator style comparison between values

Return a cacheable "disassembled" representation of the object.

How many columns are used to persist this type.

Get a hash code, consistent with persistence "equality".

The class returned by nullSafeGet(ResultSet, String, SessionImplementor, Object) methods.

Retrieve an instance of the mapped class, or the identifier of an entity or collection, from a JDBC resultset.

Return true if the implementation is castable to AssociationType.

Return true if the implementation is castable to CompositeType.

Should the parent be considered dirty, given both the old and current value?

Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality" (equality of persistent state).

Has the value been modified compared to the current database state? The difference between this and the isDirty(Object, Object, boolean[], SessionImplementor) methods is that here we need to account for "partially" built values.

Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality" (equality of persistent state) taking a shortcut for entity references.

Retrieve an instance of the mapped class from a JDBC resultset.

Write an instance of the mapped class to a prepared statement, ignoring some columns.

During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging.

Map identifiers to entities or collections.

A representation of the value to be embedded in an XML element.

Given an instance of the type, return an array of boolean, indicating which mapped columns would be null.
