Method Detail

### getTenantIdentifier

    String getTenantIdentifier()

  Obtain the tenant identifier associated with this session.

  Returns:
    The tenant identifier associated with this session, or `null`

### beginTransaction

    Transaction beginTransaction()

  Begin a unit of work and return the associated `Transaction` object. If a new underlying transaction is required, begin the transaction. Otherwise continue the new work in the context of the existing underlying transaction.

  Returns:
    a Transaction instance
  See Also:
    `getTransaction()`

### getTransaction

    Transaction getTransaction()

  Get the `Transaction` instance associated with this session. The concrete type of the returned `Transaction` object is determined by the `hibernate.transaction_factory` property.

  Returns:
    a Transaction instance

### getNamedQuery

    Query getNamedQuery(String queryName)

  Create a `Query` instance for the named query string defined in the metadata.

  Parameters:
    `queryName` - the name of a query defined externally
  Returns:
    The query instance for manipulation and execution

### createQuery

    Query createQuery(String queryString)

  Create a `Query` instance for the given HQL query string.

  Parameters:
    `queryString` - The HQL query
  Returns:
    The query instance for manipulation and execution

### createSQLQuery

    SQLQuery createSQLQuery(String queryString)

  Create a `SQLQuery` instance for the given SQL query string.

  Parameters:
    `queryString` - The SQL query
  Returns:
    The query instance for manipulation and execution

### createCriteria

    Criteria createCriteria(Class persistentClass)

  Create `Criteria` instance for the given class (entity or subclasses/implementors)

  Parameters:
    `persistentClass` - The class, which is an entity, or has entity subclasses/implementors
  Returns:
    The criteria instance for manipulation and execution

### createCriteria

    Criteria createCriteria(Class persistentClass,
                            String alias)

  Create `Criteria` instance for the given class (entity or subclasses/implementors), using a specific alias.

  Parameters:
    `persistentClass` - The class, which is an entity, or has entity subclasses/implementors
    `alias` - The alias to use
  Returns:
    The criteria instance for manipulation and execution

### createCriteria

    Criteria createCriteria(String entityName)

  Create `Criteria` instance for the given entity name.

  Parameters:
    `entityName` - The entity name
  Returns:
    The criteria instance for manipulation and execution

### createCriteria

    Criteria createCriteria(String entityName,
                            String alias)

  Create `Criteria` instance for the given entity name, using a specific alias.
