@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING) not taken into account in an @Embeddable included in another @Embeddable ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5937 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5937 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: annotations Affects Versions: 3.6.1 Environment: MySQL 5.1.40 / hibernate-entitymanager 3.6.1.Final Reporter: Thomas Vanstals Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 3.6.next Time Spent: 44m I have a Customer entity containing a collection of Investment. The Investment ({{@Embeddable}}) class contains a MonetaryAmount. The MonetaryAmount ({{@Embeddable}}) contains an enumerated property ('currency') annotated with {{(a)Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)}}. The 'currency' field is mapped to a column having the following definition: {{`currency` int(11) DEFAULT NULL}}. This is not correct. The column definition should be {{`currency` varchar(3) DEFAULT NULL}}. If a add a MonetaryAmount property in the Customer class, the generated column definition is correct ({{`currency` varchar(3) DEFAULT NULL}}). {code:title=Customer.java|borderStyle=solid} @Entity public class Customer { @Valid @ElementCollection(fetch = FetchType.EAGER) private List<Investment> investments = new ArrayList<Investment>(); } {code} {code:title=Investment.java|borderStyle=solid} @Embeddable public class Investment { @Valid @NotNull private MonetaryAmount amount; @Column(length = 500) @Length(max = 500) private String description; private Date date; } {code} {code:title=MonetaryAmount.java|borderStyle=solid} @Embeddable public class MonetaryAmount { @NotNull private Double amount; @Column(length = 3) @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING) private CurrencyCode currency; } {code}
