Allow Embeddable and composite-elements to use custom UserType or CompositeUserType types. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-3183 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3183 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Environment: Hibernate-3.2.5, HSQL database, Java 1.6.0_01 Reporter: Nate Priority: Trivial I am unable to define a custom type for a value type of a list. I have a List<Foo> and a custom CompositeUserType for Foo. I need to configure Hibernate to use the list with the custom type. The 3.0 DTD for Hibernate does not have a "type" attribute for the composite-element. It only permits the properties to be listed of the element like below. <list name="foos" table="Foos"> <key column="Parent_ID"/> <list-index column="ListPosition"/> <composite-element class="Foo"> <property name="bar" column="Bar"/> </composite-element> </list> What I want is to define a custom type for the composite-element like below. <list name="foos" table="Foos"> <key column="Parent_ID"/> <list-index column="ListPosition"/> <composite-element class="Foo" type="FooCompositeElement"/> </list> It would also be nice to have an annotation for Embeddable objects to do the same thing. For example, I can declare an object of type Foo to be Embeddable and also define a custom CompositeUserType for Foo. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
