I am trying to override the implemtation of one of the getters in hibernate classes. When i m trying to save the object i am getting the following exception.
Why i am doing this : I am doing this because i want to type cast the value coming from the DB and send it across.

e.g.

[code]public Object getValue() {
return convertTo(this.value, "INTEGER");
}
[/code]
[b]Hibernate version: 2.1 [/b]

[b]Mapping documents:[/b]

[b]Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():[/b]
