[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4684?page=c... ] Scott Marlow commented on HHH-4684: ----------------------------------- Updated org.hibernate.test.annotations.entity.Forest to include @ElementCollection of @Lob values: @Lob @ElementCollection public Set<Country> getNear() { return near; } public void setNear(Set<Country>near) { this.near = near; } Also changed org.hibernate.test.annotations.entity.BasicHibernateAnnotationsTest.testSerialized() to use the nearby countries. Worked fine.
