## Package org.hibernate.persister.collection Description

This package abstracts the persistence mechanism for collections.

Concrete implementations of `CollectionPersister` define strategies for persistence of particular collection roles. Collection persisters may optionally implement `QueryableCollection` if they should be queryable using HQL or loaded using `OuterJoinLoader`.
