Annotation Interface NamedQuery

@Target({TYPE,PACKAGE})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Repeatable(NamedQueries.class)
public @interface NamedQuery

Declares a named query written in HQL or JPQL.

Whereas NamedQuery allows settings to be specified using stringly-typed QueryHints, this annotation is typesafe.

Note that the members of this annotation correspond to hints enumerated by AvailableHints.
