[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3381) org.lds.stack.validator.NotEmptyTrimed is mispelled

org.lds.stack.validator.NotEmptyTrimed is mispelled --------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3381 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3381 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Mike Heath Attachments: configuration.patch, hibernatepersistence.patch In our applications, we would like to make the "yes_no" Hibernate type the default for all booleans. We currently use @Type("yes_no") everywhere. This is annoying. We could use org.hibernate.cfg.Mappings.typeDefs to set a default. Mappings.typeDefs gets populated from org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.typeDefs. However, Configuration.typeDefs only gets referenced by Configuration.reset(), Configuration.createMappings(), and AnnotationConfiguration.createExtendedMappings(). Configuration.typeDefs could be very useful but currently it's a waste of an object reference. Adding the following method (or something similar) to Configuration would give us a good first step to making they typeDefs field usable and would open the door to allowing us to make "yes_no" the default for all boolean fields: public void addTypeDef(String className, TypeDef typeDef) { typeDefs.put(className, typeDef) } Even if we had Configuration.addTypeDef, there would be now way to add a TypeDef to the configuration before the EntityManagerFactory gets created. org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence creates an Ejb3Configuration object (which holds a Configuration instance) and immediately creates the EntityManagerFactory. If the call to "new Ejb3Configuration()" were placed in a protected method, we could override that method and there obtain the Configuration instance and invoke addTypeDef(). We currently have our own PersistenceProvider that is based on HibernatePersistence. After we create the Ejb3Configuration instance, we use reflection to get to Configure.typeDefs to add "yes_no" TypeDefs for "boolean" and "java.lang.Boolean" and it works very well... except for the fact that it's an egregious hack. I've attached a patch for core, and a patch for entitymanager.
