- Configuration Object
Defines the Database connection and the Class mapping setup hibernate.properties and hibernate.cfg.xml.)
- SessionFactory Object
- Session Object
- Transaction Object
A unit of work (Commit or Rollback)
- Query Object
Is used to query the database
- Criteria Object
Is this used to keep the conditions used in the query ??? (WHERE condition criteria???)
Generally, In a session-managed environment, an instance of a class is in one of the following statuses
- transient: A new instance of a persistent class which is not associated with a Session and has no representation in the database and no identifier value is considered transient by Hibernate.
- persistent: You can make a transient instance persistent by associating it with a Session. A persistent instance has a representation in the database, an identifier value and is associated with a Session.
- detached: Once we close the Hibernate Session, the persistent instance will become a detached instance.
