[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-5138) Redesign types and introduce TypeRegistry

Redesign types and introduce TypeRegistry ----------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5138 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5138 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 3.6 Work in progress. The general idea is to have 3 levels of types: 1) What I am tentatively calling a StaticType. These are basic mappings between standard java types and basic sql types. They require no access to a Session nor SessionFactory to fulfill their contracts. 2) Scoped. This is mainly the current Type contract, except that these will be explicitly scoped to a TypeRegistry (which is part of the Configuration and SessionFactory). Users can provide overrides of these. 3) User types. Again, mainly the current user types contracts. -- 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
