Cuddled up so warm in my office at 2am between XMas and NYE, full of holiday cheer!! Happy (almost) New Year everyone! =) I am adding a Hibernate variable to the contextInstance, and would like for it to persist with the HibernateLongInstance: HibernateLongInstance (this is used for hibernatable types with a long id field. One java.lang.Object field is mapped as a reference to a hibernate entity in the database) But instead of matching the HibernateLongIdMatcher, my hibernate classes are matching the SerializableMatcher. I dont see the Test case doing any special declaration anywhere, so I assume it looks it up by the Hibernate metadata. Or... Should I have to register my Hibernate classes somewhere explicitly? I saw Tom's JIRA issue: http://preview.tinyurl.com/y6kn4e But that is not what my problem is. I know it is something very basic, and i've reread the docs and looked at the test cases and searched the forums. Harumph. ? Thanks! I'll post the answer here if I figure it out... dan View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3996407#...
