Yeah, again it comes down to expectation. I assume the OP wants a cast in
the sense of only looking at the date portion of the datetime.

And actually Hibernate has the support for what you suggest via
CompositeUserType where you can tell it about the individual parts and
expose the property names for use in queries. There is no annotation way
to define this, it's all order based. I think that's fine actually.
