[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HHH-926) TypeDef should be global

TypeDef should be global ------------------------ Key: HHH-926 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-926 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: metamodel Affects Versions: 3.1 beta 2 Reporter: Christian Bauer Assignee: Emmanuel Bernard Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.1 The declaration of custom usertypes should be global, not dependent on a mapping file. Currently only typedef's in the parent <hibernate-mapping> are searched when value types are bound. This prevents me from keeping all my applications usertypes in a single MyUserTypes.hbm.xml file. In any sophisticated application, user types are shared across mappings.
