Hello.

I'm currently using Oracle 8.1.7.4, hibernate 2.1 and middlegen 2.0

One of my tables has a RAW colum, that middlegen maps to a byte [] attribute (So far, it even seems right).

Although, the middlegen hibernate plugin (hbm2java, as net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.Hbm2JavaTask) generates an exception when generating the pojos objects from the hbm.xml model.

I edited the hbm model my self, and changed the byte [] to java.lang.String type, which works just fine for query (SELECT);

Is is a middlegen issue rather than a hibernate question?

Is there a better way to do this specific Oracle RAW type mapping?

Regards,

Middlegen does its best to select to appropriate mapping for you when you the user has not given a selection (eg, first time you run it). Then its up to the user so you can change the mapping using the GUI to what ever is appropriate. In some cases, there is a preference for a type mapping to be applied in general so you can then create your own JavaTypeMapper and plug it into the Middlegen Hibernate plugin so that it will map the type (first time) to your prefered type. See the Middlegen page on this wiki for more information.

you say hbm2java generate an exception ?

why is that ? ;)

And what is it ?
