Hi all,

I have the following entity:
@Entity
public class FormattedDate {
@Id
private Long id;

@Transient
private SimpleDateFormat sdf;
...
@AccessType("property")
@Column(name="format")
public String getFormat() {
return sdf.toPattern();
}

public void setFormat(String format) {
this.sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
this.sdf.setLenient(false);
}
..
}

So I supose that when I save a FormattedField object to database, the property 'format" should be saved too.
But in my tests it didn't work.

Does anyone know exactly how the AccessType annotation works? Or how could I get the behavior I need?

Thanx
