Steve Ebersole updated HHH-5556:
--------------------------------

    Affects Version/s: 3.5.0-Final
          Component/s: annotations
           Issue Type: New Feature  (was: Bug)
              Summary: Allow primitive properties to default to non-nullable in annotations  (was: @Column annotation - nullable default value)

This is exactly by spec (see 11.1.9).  At any rate this is clearly not a bug.  And as for the feature being requested, we will need to consider the best way

>             Project: Hibernate Core
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: annotations
>    Affects Versions: 3.5.0-Final
>         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.
