## Package org.springframework.orm.hibernate4 Description

Package providing integration of Hibernate 4.x with Spring concepts.

Contains an implementation of Spring's transaction SPI for local Hibernate transactions. This package is intentionally rather minimal, with no template classes or the like, in order to follow native Hibernate recommendations as closely as possible.

This package supports Hibernate 4.x only. See the `org.springframework.orm.hibernate3` package for Hibernate 3.x support.
