@Type annotation not generated
------------------------------

                 Key: HBX-1155
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-1155
             Project: Hibernate Tools
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: hbm2java
    Affects Versions: 3.2.4.GA
         Environment: Oracle
            Reporter: Mike Baranczak


Oracle does not support boolean columns, so we're using a VARCHAR(1) to store either "Y" or "N". This is the situation that org.hibernate.type.YesNoType was intended for. The problem is that hbm2java does not generate a @Type(type="yes_no") annotation on the affected properties; therefore, at run-time Hibernate doesn't know how to translate the values, which causes an error.

This bug was described a while ago:

https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=980008&start=0

That thread also includes a work-around which involves using a custom template.
