Hi Vlad, "any other features that cannot be added into the hibernate-core because they are DB-specific." Aren't Dialects in Hibernate DB specific? Why is there a reason not to support some DB specific feature in Hibernate core? Isn't it possible to have DB specific Hibernate modules? For example hibernate-core contains the core of Hibernate (as the name suggests) but everything else DB specific is in a specific module, Dialects, custom types, etc. If you could clarify this for me, that would be great as I don't know the historic reasons. :-) Thank you guys!

Since each of these two have different dependencies, wouldn't it be better to have two extra modules? Thanks!

If they want Json support for JSR-353 types, one is already published. https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.mopano/hibernate-json-contributor If they want it for a non-standard API, they are free to use it's source as a base. License permits it. They will need 5.2.10 if they need to bind a JsonArray as a native query parameter. I've tried making a module that uses PgObject, but that runs into very nasty classloader problems in Apache Tomcat. A work-around should be possible with reflection, but it isn't worth it for things where [sg]etString works. _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
