Hello,

Is it possible to use a custom type in the declaration of a data filter parameter like you can in the declaration of a property type in a mapping file for a class?

(Custom Type in a mapping file declaration)
<property name="attributename" column="COLUMN_NAME"
type="customType"/>

(Custom Type in a data filter declaration. [b]Can you do this?[/b])
<filter-def name="filterName">
<filter-param name="filterParameter" type="customType"/>
</filter-def>

In my situation the custom type is an enum and is defined using the hibernate "Custom mapping type for String-backed enumerations" as detailed in the "Java Persistence With Hibernate" book.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
