Summary
This chapter has covered the data types supported by Hibernate 3: entities, values, and com-
ponents. You have seen how all three can be expressed in a mapping file, and how each relates
to the underlying database schema. We have listed the attributes available to the major map-
ping elements, and we have discussed some detailed examples of the elements that you will
use most frequently when working with Hibernate.
In the next chapter, we will look at how a client application communicates with the data-
base representation of the entities by using the
Session
object.
