@Type with Maps from Element to Element applies to both key to value type. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ANN-696 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-696 Project: Hibernate Annotations Issue Type: Bug Components: binder Affects Versions: 3.3.0.ga Environment: Hibernate Annotations 3.3.0.ga, HSQLDB 1.8.0.7, JUnit 4.1 Reporter: Timon Hertli Attachments: test.zip Having a Hibernate map where key and value are both Elements, the @Type annotation seems to affect both key and value type: @CollectionOfElements @org.hibernate.annotations.MapKey @Type(type = "myEnumType") private Map<MyEnumType, String> enumKey = new HashMap<MyEnumType, String>(); @Test void testEnumKey () { MyPc pc = new MyPc(); pc.getEnumKey().put(MyEnumType.TYPE1, "str"); session.saveOrUpdate(pc); session.flush(); //flush throws an exception since it tries to persist the String as "myEnumType" } I think the following should be the expected behaviour: @Type should only affect the Map value type. There should be a seperate possibility to affect the key type with an @Type annotation, as it is the case with @Column now.
