[hibernate-dev] UserType.nullSafeSet() and nullSafeGet() in H4

[Gail Badner]

I noticed that UserType.nullSafeSet() and nullSafeGet() don't have a 
SessionImplementor argument, but those methods in CompositeUserType do 
have it.

This might not make a difference in 3.6.x, but in H4, not having the 
SessionImplementor argument makes it impossible to do dynamic type 
overrides specified by the dialect.

As an example, suppose a UserType delegates nullSafeGet()/nullSafeSet() 
to StandardBasicTypes.BLOB.nullSafeGet()/nullSafeSet(). True, the 
UserType could delegate to the proper type (streaming or lob-binding). 
To be able to use the same UserType for, say, both Oracle and 
PostgreSQL, it would have to be possible to do the override based on 
dialect.

I think the right thing to do is add the SessionImplementor argument for H4.

Comments?
