public Interface CollectionRegion

extends TransactionalDataRegion
Known Direct Implementers
org.hibernate.cache.impl.bridge.CollectionRegionAdapter
Imports
org.hibernate.cache.access.CollectionRegionAccessStrategy, .AccessType
Defines the contract for a cache region which will specifically be used to store collection data.

Impl note: Hibernate always deals with changes to collections which (potentially) has its data in the L2 cache by removing that collection data; in other words it never tries to update the cached state, thereby allowing it to avoid a bunch of concurrency problems.
