How to generate SDO_GEOMETRY for geolatte Geometry with JPA Buddy

I am using JPA Buddy to generate Liquibase changelog from a JPA-annotated Entity in Kotlin.

My model looks something like this:

@Entity
class MyEntity(
  @Id
  val id: Long,

  val someField: String,

  @Type(JsonBlobType::class)
  val someStruct: SomeClass,

  val geometry: Geometry<*>,
)

When I use the Liquibase init generation, all fields are generated except the geometry field. I have tried adding a mapping in jpb-settings.xml:

          <mapping-type sql-type-parameter="Nothing">
            <java-class>org.geolatte.geom.Geometry</java-class>
            <sql-type>MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY</sql-type>
          </mapping-type>

But this has no effect.

How can I make JPA Buddy generate a Liquibase changelog that includes geometry fields?

One way to make JPA Buddy pay attention to the type you want is to use the @Column annotation along with the columnDefinition attribute. For example, this column declaration worked for me.

import jakarta.persistence.*
import org.geolatte.geom.Geometry
import org.geolatte.geom.Position

@Entity
@Table(name = "my_entity")
open class MyEntity {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "id", nullable = false)
    open var id: Long? = null

    @Column(name = "geometry", columnDefinition = "MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY")
    open var geometry: Geometry<*>? = null
}
