@Column annotation - nullable default value
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-5556
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5556
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Hibernate 3.3.1, PostgreSQL 8.3
            Reporter: Daniel Migowski


We have an entity attribute like this:

    @Column(updateble=false)
    double quantityInInvoice;

This column is considered nullable in the Hibernate meta data because the @Column annotation contains another attribute named "nullable" which defaults to true. 

I don't know if this is an specification error but for primitive datatypes the column should never be nullable IMHO. We found this out because we modified Hibernate locally to create and update the NOT NULL contraints on tables in the database.

Workaround: Set nullable=false explicitely in the @Column annotation.
