Hibernate version: 2.1.6

I need to create a custom type to use in <id> tag.
This type, at the moment, should be only a wrapper of a String in UpperCase format. May be, in the future, it could be something different; for example (String, Integer) or (String, String), etc.

I think the right way to implement this is to create a custom type implementing UserType (or CompositeUserType).

Am I on the right way?


Thanks

Yes you are.

Note, that your have to use assigned id's. This means if you want to use cascading relations, that you have to implement an Interceptor.isUnsaved method. (see http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=933521)

Thank you very much, Ernst.
I need this approach only for a small number of tables that are not involved in cascading relationship.
But, in order to complicate things, I'll need to use this custom type as <id>.
So... I've another post for you...
