Hello, Currently I am facing issue with hibernate. I have a Entity class as given below. @Entity @Table(name = TABLE_NAME) @Access(AccessType.FIELD) public class EntityClass { //some fields //*(a)Access(AccessType.PROPERTY)* *@Column(name = "WA_DEFINED_TAB_INDEXES")* * @Type(type = SetToArrayUserType.CLASS_NAME)* private Set<Integer> oracleArray = new HashSet<>(10); @Version @Column(name = "versionCol" , nullable = false) private Integer rhpVersion = 0; //some getters/setters } In case of AccessType.FIELD mapping, Hibernate doesn't mark object as dirty and doesn't update row when we only have changes in the fields that is mapped for custom type. If we have AccessType.PROPERTY mapping, Hibernate do mark object dirty and make update into database. is it bug in hibernate? I there is an open question also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1268997/hibernate-field-with-custom-ty... For the solution, either I will be forced use AccessType.PROPERTY or I have to mix FIELD and PROPERTY approach. Please let me know your thoughts about this. -- *With Best Regards,* * ** Mohd Adnan* * Software Developer* *Mobile +91-7498194516 * -- *With Best Regards,* * ** Mohd Adnan* * Software Developer* *Mobile +91-7498194516 * * Office id **adnan(a)synygy.com*
