### nullSafeGet

    public Object nullSafeGet(ResultSet rs,
                              String[] names,
                              SessionImplementor session,
                              Object owner)
                       throws HibernateException,
                              SQLException

  Description copied from interface: `UserType`
  Retrieve an instance of the mapped class from a JDBC resultset. Implementors should handle possibility of null values.

  Specified by:
    `nullSafeGet` in interface `UserType`
  Parameters:
    `rs` - a JDBC result set
    `names` - the column names
    `owner` - the containing entity @return Object
  Throws:
    `HibernateException`
    `SQLException`

### nullSafeSet

    public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st,
                            Object value,
                            int index,

                            SQLException

  Description copied from interface: `UserType`
  Write an instance of the mapped class to a prepared statement. Implementors should handle possibility of null values. A multi-column type should be written to parameters starting from `index`.

  Specified by:
    `nullSafeSet` in interface `UserType`
  Parameters:
    `st` - a JDBC prepared statement
    `value` - the object to write
    `index` - statement parameter index
  Throws:
    `HibernateException`
    `SQLException`

### deepCopy

    public Object deepCopy(Object value)
                    throws HibernateException

  Description copied from interface: `UserType`
  Return a deep copy of the persistent state, stopping at entities and at collections. It is not necessary to copy immutable objects, or null values, in which case it is safe to simply return the argument.

  Specified by:
    `deepCopy` in interface `UserType`
  Parameters:
    `value` - the object to be cloned, which may be null
  Returns:
    Object a copy
  Throws:
    `HibernateException`

### isMutable

    public boolean isMutable()

  Description copied from interface: `UserType`
  Are objects of this type mutable?

  Specified by:
    `isMutable` in interface `UserType`
  Returns:
    boolean

### disassemble

    public Serializable disassemble(Object value)
                             throws HibernateException

  Description copied from interface: `UserType`
  Transform the object into its cacheable representation. At the very least this method should perform a deep copy if the type is mutable. That may not be enough for some implementations, however; for example, associations must be cached as identifier values. (optional operation)

  Specified by:
    `disassemble` in interface `UserType`
  Parameters:
    `value` - the object to be cached
  Returns:
    a cachable representation of the object
  Throws:
    `HibernateException`

### assemble

    public Object assemble(Serializable cached,
                           Object owner)
                    throws HibernateException

  Description copied from interface: `UserType`
  Reconstruct an object from the cacheable representation. At the very least this method should perform a deep copy if the type is mutable. (optional operation)

  Specified by:
    `assemble` in interface `UserType`
  Parameters:
    `cached` - the object to be cached
    `owner` - the owner of the cached object
  Returns:
    a reconstructed object from the cachable representation
  Throws:
    `HibernateException`

### replace

    public Object replace(Object original,
                          Object target,
                          Object owner)
                   throws HibernateException

  Description copied from interface: `UserType`
  During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging. For immutable objects, or null values, it is safe to simply return the first parameter. For mutable objects, it is safe to return a copy of the first parameter. For objects with component values, it might make sense to recursively replace component values.

  Specified by:
    `replace` in interface `UserType`
  Parameters:
    `original` - the value from the detached entity being merged
    `target` - the value in the managed entity
  Returns:
    the value to be merged
  Throws:
    `HibernateException`

### setParameterValues

    public void setParameterValues(Properties parameters)

  Description copied from interface: `ParameterizedType`
  Gets called by Hibernate to pass the configured type parameters to the implementation.

  Specified by:
    `setParameterValues` in interface `ParameterizedType`

### objectToSQLString

    public String objectToSQLString(Object value)

  Description copied from interface: `EnhancedUserType`
  Return an SQL literal representation of the value

  Specified by:
    `objectToSQLString` in interface `EnhancedUserType`

### toXMLString

    public String toXMLString(Object value)

  Description copied from interface: `EnhancedUserType`
  Return a string representation of this value, as it should appear in an XML document

  Specified by:
    `toXMLString` in interface `EnhancedUserType`

### fromXMLString

    public Object fromXMLString(String xmlValue)

  Description copied from interface: `EnhancedUserType`
  Parse a string representation of this value, as it appears in an XML document

  Specified by:
    `fromXMLString` in interface `EnhancedUserType`
