Need method Dialect to apply hibernate type over-rides.
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-5584
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5584
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.6.0.CR1
         Environment: 3.6.0.CR1, postgresql
            Reporter: Justin Sands
            Priority: Minor


There is currently no way to register hibernate type over-rides simply by extending the Dialect object.
This forces applications to inject custom bootstrapping code, where a simple property change (the dialect) would suffice.
This could be easily overcome by having the SessionFactory interrogate the dialect to see if it contains any substitutions.

public class SessionFactoryImpl {
 public SessionFactoryImpl(...) {
  if (getDialect().getTypeOverrides() != null) {
   for (BasicType overrideType : getDialect().getTypeOverrides())
    cfg.registerTypeOverride(overrideType);
  }
 }
}

public abstract class Dialect {
 // basic implementation, 
 public List<BasicType> getTypeOverrides() {
  return null;
 }
}
