[Tyler Southwick (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5138?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=39406#action_39406 ] 

Tyler Southwick commented on HHH-5138:
--------------------------------------

This doesn't seem to be backwards compatible with previous versions of hibernate (it would seem since it is 3.x.x it should be).  We have some older libraries that defined their own EnumUserType and was using TypeFactory.basic which is no longer there.  What should I do to make these work with hibernate 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.
