All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Comparable<FlushMode>

    public enum FlushMode

extends Enum<FlushMode>

Represents a flushing strategy. The flush process synchronizes database state with session state by detecting state changes and executing SQL statements.

See Also:
  `Session.setFlushMode(FlushMode)`, `Query.setFlushMode(FlushMode)`, `Criteria.setFlushMode(FlushMode)`

Enum Constant Summary
`ALWAYS` The `Session` is flushed before every query.
`AUTO` The `Session` is sometimes flushed before query execution in order to ensure that queries never return stale state.
`COMMIT` The `Session` is flushed when `Transaction.commit()` is called.
`MANUAL` The `Session` is only ever flushed when `Session.flush()` is explicitly called by the application.
`NEVER` Deprecated. use `MANUAL` instead.

Method Summary
`static boolean` `isManualFlushMode(FlushMode mode)`
`boolean` `lessThan(FlushMode other)`
`static FlushMode` `valueOf(String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static FlushMode[]` `values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

### NEVER

    public static final FlushMode NEVER

  Deprecated. use `MANUAL` instead.
  The `Session` is never flushed unless `Session.flush()` is explicitly called by the application. This mode is very efficient for read only transactions.

### MANUAL

    public static final FlushMode MANUAL

  The `Session` is only ever flushed when `Session.flush()` is explicitly called by the application. This mode is very efficient for read only transactions.

### COMMIT

    public static final FlushMode COMMIT

  The `Session` is flushed when `Transaction.commit()` is called.

### AUTO

    public static final FlushMode AUTO

  The `Session` is sometimes flushed before query execution in order to ensure that queries never return stale state. This is the default flush mode.

### ALWAYS

    public static final FlushMode ALWAYS

  The `Session` is flushed before every query. This is almost always unnecessary and inefficient.

Method Detail

### values

    public static FlushMode[] values()

  Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

      for (FlushMode c : FlushMode.values())
          System.out.println(c);

  Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

    public static FlushMode valueOf(String name)

  Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
  Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

### lessThan

    public boolean lessThan(FlushMode other)

### isManualFlushMode

    public static boolean isManualFlushMode(FlushMode mode)
