I have a custom hibernate type I've written that is a ParameterizedType. This custom type maps to one or two columns depending on the parameters passed in from the type definition. The type is actually used to store a password hash and an optional generated salt value. The problem I have is that the "UserType.sqlTypes()" method is called before ParameterizedType.setParameterValues(Properties) is called during initialization. This means I'm unable to return the array of types from "UserType.sqlTypes()" based on the parameters I based in from the type definition.

Am I missing something obvious?

Is this desired behavior?

Is this a bug I should file in Jira?

Thanks for any input in advance.
