public Interface ComparableExecutable

extends Executable, Comparable<ComparableExecutable>, Serializable
Known Direct Implementers
org.hibernate.action.internal.CollectionAction, org.hibernate.action.internal.EntityAction
Imports
java.io.Serializable, org.hibernate.action.spi.Executable
We frequently need the union type of Executable, Comparable of ComparableExecutable, Serializable; this interface represents such union; this helps to simplify several generic signatures. Secondarily, it helps to avoid triggering type pollution by not needing to typecheck for a very specific Comparable type; we represent the common needs to resolve sorting by exposing primary and secondary sorting attributes.
