Need method Dialect to apply hibernate type over-rides. ------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5584 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5584 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 3.6.0.CR1 Environment: 3.6.0.CR1, postgresql Reporter: Justin Sands Priority: Minor There is currently no way to register hibernate type over-rides simply by extending the Dialect object. This forces applications to inject custom bootstrapping code, where a simple property change (the dialect) would suffice. This could be easily overcome by having the SessionFactory interrogate the dialect to see if it contains any substitutions. public class SessionFactoryImpl { public SessionFactoryImpl(...) { if (getDialect().getTypeOverrides() != null) { for (BasicType overrideType : getDialect().getTypeOverrides()) cfg.registerTypeOverride(overrideType); } } } public abstract class Dialect { // basic implementation, public List<BasicType> getTypeOverrides() { return null; } } -- 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
