SchemaValidator mapping of double to SQL-Type DECIMAL with Precision and Scale ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-1008 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1008 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 3.1 beta 2 Environment: DB2, Win2k Reporter: Phritz Grau Assignee: Diego Pires Plentz Priority: Minor Original Estimate: 1 hour Remaining Estimate: 1 hour I am using the new SchemaValidator, it really is very useful. 1000x thanks. However we have one problem. Our tables contain a lot columns of SQL-Type DECIMAL with precision and scale. These are mapped to double or java.lang.Double and we specify the mapping like e.g.: <property name="doubleVal" type="double"> <column name="dVal" precision="12" scale="6"/> </property> Using the SchemaValidator results in an error: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type: dVal, expected: double at org.hibernate.mapping.Table.validateColumns(Table.java:205) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.validateSchema(Configuration.java:938) Since there is not appropriate java type for sql type decimal, it would be very nice if the above error is omittet, when the mapping contains the correct precision and scale values.
