hibernateusertypehibernate.cfg.xml

what is the property name for registering an user type in hibernate

Accoriding to hibernate document: section 6.5. Type registry: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.6/reference/en-US/html/types.html

We can create a new user type and override existing hibernate's basic types. To use the new user type we need to register it using (see above link):

Configuration cfg = ...;
cfg.registerTypeOverride( new SuperDuperStringType() );

But never in document mentioned how we can register it in hibernate.cfg.xml? I can't believe they forgot to add this to hibernate.cfg.xml, Does anybody know about this? Thanks

Solution

  • Take a look at that post: Mapping A Custom Type In Hibernate

    It worked for me with the following little modification:

    the hibernate-mapping closing tag is wrongly formed, it misses the / (slash).

    Appart from that, it explains everything.
