Hi everybody,
recently I've got a requirements to add to the tables in my project columns with values of Oracle object types. Hibernate does not support these types directly.
I found in this forum a few requests about the same topic and answers with general recommendations for implementation, but no concrete instructions, examples.
I was able to make it work and described approach I used in Hibernate Wiki at http://www.hibernate.org/261.html.

Please review the article and let me know if I missed anything.

I'm also posting this message for those searching the forum about the topic.

Thanks,
Andriy Palamarchuk

from just reading it and assuming how object types work in oracle it looks like a real good description-solution - thank you.

regarding querying I assume you would need to use createSQLQuery() to perform the proper querying.

Max,
thank you for quick response.
I'll definitely look into using createSQLQuery() a little bit later and update the document with my experience.
