Hi
I want to implement a user defined datatype in hibernate 3 using annotations.In hibernate 2 we had to implement the interface UserType to acheive this.
How can i achive this using annotations?The Column or Id annotation does not have a type member where i can specify the user defined type.

Can anyone help me in this regard??

Thanks in advance
