David Driscoll updated HHH-3579:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: patch_HH_3579_PostgresSQLDialect.txt
                patch_HH_3579_NullableType.txt
                patch_HH_3579_Hibernate.txt

I noticed that Hibernate did not have support for UUID as well.
But, fortunately the guys over in NHibernate to implement UUID support for PostgreSQL.
WIth the help of the NHibernate implementation , I have create a patches to support this in Hibernate.
This is the first 3 of 5 patch files.

> 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
