## org.hibernate.type
Class TypeResolver

    java.lang.Object
      org.hibernate.type.TypeResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

    public class TypeResolver

extends Object
implements Serializable

Acts as the contract for getting types and as the mediator between `BasicTypeRegistry` and `TypeFactory`.

See Also:
  Serialized Form

Constructor Summary
`TypeResolver()`
`TypeResolver(BasicTypeRegistry basicTypeRegistry, TypeFactory typeFactory)`

Method Summary
`BasicType` | `basic(String name)` Locate a Hibernate basic type given (one of) its registration names.
`TypeFactory` | `getTypeFactory()`
`Type` | `heuristicType(String typeName)` See `heuristicType(String, Properties)`
`Type` | `heuristicType(String typeName, Properties parameters)` Uses heuristics to deduce the proper `Type` given a string naming the type or Java class.
`void` | `registerTypeOverride(BasicType type)`
`void` | `registerTypeOverride(CompositeUserType type, String[] keys)`
`void` | `registerTypeOverride(UserType type, String[] keys)`
`TypeResolver` | `scope(SessionFactoryImplementor factory)`

### scope

    public TypeResolver scope(SessionFactoryImplementor factory)

### registerTypeOverride

    public void registerTypeOverride(BasicType type)

### registerTypeOverride

    public void registerTypeOverride(UserType type,
                                     String[] keys)

### registerTypeOverride

    public void registerTypeOverride(CompositeUserType type,
                                     String[] keys)

### getTypeFactory

    public TypeFactory getTypeFactory()

### basic

    public BasicType basic(String name)

  Locate a Hibernate basic type given (one of) its registration names.

  Parameters:
    `name` - The registration name
  Returns:
    The registered type

### heuristicType

    public Type heuristicType(String typeName)
                       throws MappingException

  See `heuristicType(String, Properties)`

  Parameters:
    `typeName` - The name (see heuristic algorithm discussion on `heuristicType(String, Properties)`).
  Returns:
    The deduced type; may be null.
  Throws:
    `MappingException` - Can be thrown from `heuristicType(String, Properties)`

### heuristicType

    public Type heuristicType(String typeName,
                              Properties parameters)
                       throws MappingException

  Uses heuristics to deduce the proper `Type` given a string naming the type or Java class.

  The search goes as follows:
  1. search for a basic type with 'typeName' as a registration key
  2. look for 'typeName' as a class name and
     1. if it names a `Type` implementor, return an instance
     2. if it names a `CompositeUserType` or a `UserType`, return an instance of class wrapped intot the appropriate `Type` adapter
     3. if it implements `Lifecycle`, return the corresponding entity type
     4. if it implements `Serializable`, return the corresponding serializable type

  Parameters:
    `typeName` - The name (see heuristic algorithm above).
    `parameters` - Any parameters for the type. Only applied if built!
  Returns:
    The deduced type; may be null.
  Throws:
    `MappingException` - Indicates a problem attempting to resolve 'typeName' as a `Class`
