[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-4392) Could @Type be supported at the class level for custom user types?

[Jon Todd (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4392?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=36030#action_36030 ] 

Jon Todd commented on HHH-4392:
-------------------------------

+1 For this feature. This would make the code more DRY and would be inline with how other java api's tackle this problem. JaxB has a the same concept with "@XmlJavaTypeAdapter"

{code}
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(PercentXmlAdapter.class)
@Type(type = "com.structuralwealth.common.persistence.PercentUserType")
public final class Percent extends BigDecimal{
...
{code}

> e.g I have a MonetaryAmount class, with a MonetaryAmountUserType implementing UserType.  Would it be possible to define that metadata as a @Type annotation on the MonetaryAmount class?  Seems like a nice default.
