2.4.10. Queries

Since Hibernate has more features on named queries than the one defined in the EJB3 specification, @org.hibernate.annotations.NamedQuery, @org.hibernate.annotations.NamedQueries, @org.hibernate.annotations.NamedNativeQuery and @org.hibernate.annotations.NamedNativeQueries have been introduced. They add some attributes to the standard version and can be used as a replacement:

Those hints can be set in a standard @javax.persistence.NamedQuery annotations through the detyped @QueryHint. Another key advantage is the ability to set those annotations at a package level.
