I was unable to get @Convert and @Converter to work with OGM:

In an @Embeddable class I have a property:

@Column
@Convert(converter = EncryptedStringConverter.class)
private String accessToken;

and

@Converter
public class EncryptedStringConverter implements AttributeConverter<String,String> {

@Override
public String convertToDatabaseColumn(String value) {
log.debug("convertToDatabaseColumn");
// encryption code
}

@Override
public String convertToEntityAttribute(String encryptedValue) {
log.debug("convertToEntityAttribute");
// decryption code
}
}

My EncryptedStringConverted did not get invoked for either convertToDatabaseColumn or convterToEntityAttribute

Hello, I was searching JIRA for references to Converter to see if this was a known issue, and found several open issues in Hibernate ORM too.

So I'm wondering if you could have hit an existing limitation of ORM, or you can reproduce your problem only on OGM?

Please let me know, so we can properly classify the issue; definitely looks like more work is needed for this to work as expected.

This is due to a current limitation with OGM.

Custom types and converters are not yet supported.

Thanks for the update! I will look for another solution until this feature is available.
