Given a collection of entity instances that used to belong to the collection, and a collection of instances that currently belong, return a collection of orphans

			}

Iterate the "queued" additions

 public final String getRole()

Get the current session

 protected final Serializable getSnapshot()

Get the current snapshot from the session

 public final Serializable getStoredSnapshot()

}

return the user-visible collection (or array) instance

 public final boolean hasQueuedOperations()

Does this instance have any "queued" additions?

Initialize the collection, if possible, wrapping any exceptions in a runtime exception

 protected boolean isClearQueueEnabled() 
{
		return !initialized &&

}

Is this collection in a state that would allow us to "queue" clear? This is a special case, because of orphan delete.

Could the application possibly have a direct reference to the underlying collection implementation?

{

}

}

Is this collection in a state that would allow us to "queue" operations?

}

Is this collection in a state that would allow us to "queue" puts? This is a special case, because of orphan delete.

{

After reading all existing elements from the database, add the queued elements to the underlying collection.

 public  void postAction() 
{
		operationQueue=null;
		cachedSize = -1;
		clearDirty();
}

After flushing, clear any "queued" additions, since the database state is now synchronized with the memory state.

 public  void preInsert(CollectionPersister persister) throws HibernateException 
{

}

Called before inserting rows, to ensure that any surrogate keys are fully generated
