[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (ANN-582) Joda User Types

Joda User Types --------------- Key: ANN-582 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-582 Project: Hibernate Annotations Issue Type: New Feature Components: binder Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Reporter: Martin Gilday Attachments: jodaUserTypes.zip As discussed on the forums http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=972083 here are some user types for Joda Time. It covers LocalDate, LocalDateTime and LocalTime checked against Joda 1.4. Currently it has been used with MySql4.x. It relies on using date patterns for converting the joda objects and then setting them as Strings. This should work for any database that uses the same date/time formats. One possible improvement might be to convert to java.sql.Date etc and allow JDBC to handle the setting in the DB. Although I do not know how this would affect timezones, which was the reason for using LocalXxx.
