> When using type="timestamp" to persist properties of type java.util.Date, Hibernate will set the property using a java.sql.Timestamp (subclass of java.util.Date). This might lead to very subtile bugs in user code, because equals() for Date/Timestamp is not symmetric. 
> This is acutally a problem with the java api, but probably a explicit solution in Hibernate should be considered somehow, eg. creating two types, one for mapping java.sql.Timestamp and another one for mapping java.sql.Date
> This has been discussed in the Forum at: http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=927602
