-----------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-5138
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5138
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
            Reporter: Steve Ebersole
            Assignee: Steve Ebersole
             Fix For: 3.6


Work in progress.  The general idea is to have 3 levels of types:
1) What I am tentatively calling a StaticType.  These are basic mappings between standard java types and basic sql types.  They require no access to a Session nor SessionFactory to fulfill their contracts.
2) Scoped.  This is mainly the current Type contract, except that these will be explicitly scoped to a TypeRegistry (which is part of the Configuration and SessionFactory).  Users can provide overrides of these.
3) User types.  Again, mainly the current user types contracts.
