[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5250?page=c... ] Steve Ebersole updated HHH-5250: -------------------------------- Description: SEE HHH-5238 Hi Gail, I am not agree you, that this is not a BUG. I am not amused that you switch the issue HHH-5238 to resolved, with out any explanation of your view. Second: your reference, that i should use the forum for help is not on the right place. because i know, what a question is and what a bug report is. (I have 20 year of experiance in software development). ================================================ Explanation of my view: In this case the string consists only numbers and representing a integer number of e.g. "10" and this can be converted to a integer 10 and i am not speaking about to convert a text string to an integer. JDBC an do this easily. Is hibernate so restricted ? How you can establish a generalized query interface where only strings are transported and the provided service has no knowledge about the queried entities and the datatypes of the fields. So i think a automatic conversion of a string representing a number to the nhumber type and so on is a esential funktionality for a data sorage and retrieve interface. For Hibernate the only thing to be changed for the primitive datatype handling is explaind in the following code snipplet: IntegerType.set(PreparedStatement st, Object value, int index) throws SQLException { if (value instanceof String) st.setInt( index, Integer.parseInt((String)value)); else st.setInt( index, ( (Integer) value ).intValue() ); } was: SEE HHH-5238 Hi Gail, I am not agree you, that this is not a BUG.

Second I would think that your vast 20 years of experience would tell you that a request to add a new behavior is not a bug, but a feature request. If you wish to have this treated as a feature request then categorize it as such. Otherwise stop being a baby when someone closes a non-bug you reported as a bug. -- 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
