<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
<pre class="code-java"><span class="code-comment">// AttributeConverter works totally in memory, meaning it converts between one Java representation (the entity
</span><span class="code-comment">// attribute representation) and another (the value bound into JDBC statements or extracted from results).
</span><span class="code-comment">// However, the Hibernate Type system operates at the lower level of actually dealing with those JDBC objects.
</span><span class="code-comment">// So even though we have an AttributeConverter, we still need to <span class="code-quote">"fill out"</span> the <span class="code-keyword">rest</span> of the BasicType
</span><span class="code-comment">// data.  For the JavaTypeDescriptor portion we simply resolve the <span class="code-quote">"entity attribute representation"</span> part of
</span><span class="code-comment">// the AttributeConverter to resolve the corresponding descriptor.  For the SqlTypeDescriptor portion we use the
</span><span class="code-comment">// <span class="code-quote">"database column representation"</span> part of the AttributeConverter to resolve the <span class="code-quote">"recommended"</span> JDBC type-code
</span><span class="code-comment">// and use that type-code to resolve the SqlTypeDescriptor to use.
</span><span class="code-keyword">final</span> <span class="code-object">Class</span> entityAttributeJavaType = jpaAttributeConverterDefinition.getEntityAttributeType();
<span class="code-keyword">final</span> <span class="code-object">Class</span> databaseColumnJavaType = jpaAttributeConverterDefinition.getDatabaseColumnType();
<span class="code-keyword">final</span> <span class="code-object">int</span> jdbcTypeCode = JdbcTypeJavaClassMappings.INSTANCE.determineJdbcTypeCodeForJavaClass( databaseColumnJavaType );

<span class="code-keyword">final</span> JavaTypeDescriptor javaTypeDescriptor = JavaTypeDescriptorRegistry.INSTANCE.getDescriptor( entityAttributeJavaType );
<span class="code-keyword">final</span> SqlTypeDescriptor sqlTypeDescriptor = SqlTypeDescriptorRegistry.INSTANCE.getDescriptor( jdbcTypeCode );</pre>
</div></div>

<p>In this case, <tt>JavaTypeDescriptorRegistry.INSTANCE.getDescriptor</tt> will return a value based on the field type, not based on the type that the converter converts it to. It SHOULD be base on the type the converter converts it to:</p>

<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
<pre class="code-java"><span class="code-keyword">final</span> JavaTypeDescriptor javaTypeDescriptor = JavaTypeDescriptorRegistry.INSTANCE.getDescriptor( databaseColumnJavaType );</pre>
</div></div>

<p>Now this will return the correct value. In theory. But, like I said, I could be missing something.</p></div>
