[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HHH-5556) Allow primitive properties to default to non-nullable in annotations

Allow primitive properties to default to non-nullable in annotations -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5556 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5556 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: annotations Affects Versions: 3.5.0-Final Environment: Hibernate 3.3.1, PostgreSQL 8.3 Reporter: Daniel Migowski We have an entity attribute like this: @Column(updateble=false) double quantityInInvoice; This column is considered nullable in the Hibernate meta data because the @Column annotation contains another attribute named "nullable" which defaults to true. I don't know if this is an specification error but for primitive datatypes the column should never be nullable IMHO. We found this out because we modified Hibernate locally to create and update the NOT NULL contraints on tables in the database. Workaround: Set nullable=false explicitely in the @Column annotation.
