Package org.hibernate.binder

package org.hibernate.binder

This package defines an easy way to extend Hibernate with user-defined annotations that define customized O/R mappings of annotated entities and annotated entity attributes.

• The meta-annotation @TypeBinderType associates a TypeBinder with a user-written annotation which targets entity and embeddable types.
• The meta-annotation @AttributeBinderType associates an AttributeBinder with a user-written annotation which targets fields and properties of entity types and embeddable classes.
