@Columns cannot contain @Formula -------------------------------- Key: ANN-762 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-762 Project: Hibernate Annotations Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 3.3.0.ga Reporter: Hontvári József Priority: Minor You can use formula for mapping a composite user type in xml. For example in XML: <property name="price" type="PriceType"> <column name="value" /> <formula>'USD'</formula> </property> This is not possible with Hibernate Annotations, because the @Columns annotation only accept @Column elements. Something like this should work: @Type(name="PriceType") @Columns(columns= { @Column(name="theValue") @Formula(value="USD") }) Price price; -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
