[Olivier Van Acker (JIRA)]

Support for PostgreSQL UUID data type
-------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-3579
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3579
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.3.1
            Reporter: Olivier Van Acker


PostgreSQL has since version 8.3 UUID as data type nativly supported in the database. 

The only way to get this to work in Hibernate is to add <column name="id" sql-type="uuid"/> to your mappings file (or @columnDefinition via annotations)
and create your own custom usertype (e.g. public class UUIDUserType implements UserType, Serializable {..} ) and map this to java.util.UUID 

worth mentioning is that java.util.UUID is only introduced in java 1.5 so there might be a backwards compatibility problem
