Codegenerator

How do I make the codegenerator create Integer instead of int.

When I put 'Integer' in the mapping file, it gives me a lot of warnings.

"WARNING: Could not find UserType: Integer. Using the type 'Integer' directly ins
tead. (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Integer)"

I this workaround valid?

"<element column="numberarray" type="java.lang.Integer" not-null="false" unique="false" /> "

instead of type="integer"

Am I in trouble doing the former?

If you mean you want java.lang.Integer then you should write java.lang.Integer, ok ? ;)

Integer could just as well be a class in the default package - or a UserType....

yeah - I now noone in their right mind would do this, but trust me - I've seen weird people do this, and so hbm2java is only assuming very little to handle weird cases ;) ....and thus you need to use offical shortcuts (such as string, integer etc. or be explict about the type.

OK - but when I specify 'integer' in the mapping file, the codegenerator creates Java sources with 'int' rather 'Integer'. I need the latter to be able to nulls...

Yes - so write java.lang.Integer ;)

integer can mean either int or java.lang.Integer.

hbm2java chooses the primitive version.

If you want this to be configurable then please post a JIRA - but is the possibility to write java.lang.Integer not enough ?

Enough? Sure, as long as Hibernate SchemaExport, etc understands what I'm doing.

I would be surprised if it didn't ;)
