Allow types to have access to target usage data
-----------------------------------------------
Key: HHH-7115
URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7115
Project: Hibernate ORM
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Affects Versions: 4.1.0
Environment: hibernate-core:4.1.0.Final
Reporter: Michael Nascimento Santos
In order to being able to support a type hierarchy without having to write a Type per class, access to the actual target property type is needed. This has been hardcoded in org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.SimpleValueBinder for some Hibernate types, such as org.hibernate.type.EnumType and org.hibernate.type.SerializableToBlobType.
Even for the same scenarios above, if one is trying to write his own type for enums or serializables, he has to end up writing a type per target class since the same facility is not provided by Hibernate in a general fashion.
Hence, Hibernate should provide a set of standard properties for type implementations that need actual target usage data. Since some types might use the same property names used by EnumType with a different meaning, injecting these properties for any ParameterizedType might break existing types. Therefore, a ParameterizedType subinterface which also declares the standard property names for this case seems a better design choice.
