[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HHH-3000) Allow a TypeDef to be associated with a class (Sharath Reddy)

Allow a TypeDef to be associated with a class (Sharath Reddy) ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3000 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3000 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: annotations Reporter: Darren Bell Fix For: 3.5 Attachments: HHH-3000-2nd.patch, HHH-3000-3rd.patch, HHH-3000.patch, HHH-3000.patch This would allow you to just define it once and not have to worry about adding extra details to the mapping file or by annotating a field. For instance: @TypeDef( name="internalHeaderType", typeClass=com.dolby.mapics.GenericEnumUserType.class, targetClass=com.dolby.mapics.InternalHeaderType, parameters= { @Parameter(name="enumClass", value="com.dolby.mapics.InternalHeaderType"), @Parameter(name="identifierMethod", value="toString"), @Parameter(name="valueOfMethod", value="fromString") }) by adding the targetClass attribute would enable this.
