Hi All,
I'm now going to implement the GMT time in my application. It contains the time zone and the time value. At first, I planned to implement it by creating an embeddable class "GMT" for it. Since it will generate two db columns "timezone" and "time" in the table which contain the class "GMT". However, after reading an article, an example "MonetaryAmount" was implemented using custom mapping type. And it seems work applying on my case. Thus, I'm so confused which method I should follow with. Because both methods look doing same kind of thing. Can anyone tell me what's diff between these two method and which's the best way to do on my case? Many thanks

Can you please be elaborate on the part - "embedding".

If you are creating a separate class for GMT, how are you mapping it?

I think we should go for custom user types, when we want use the custom type columns in our queries.

Did that answer your question ?

For example, if I do it by embedding, I can create a class "GMT" and coding as below



In this way, it seem doing the same as custom mapping type. Am I right?
