CustomType containing a CustomType

Hi,

is it possible to have a CustomType that contains another CustomType(using version 2.1.2)? How do I specify this in the mapping file?

Current mapping file:

Code:

<hibernate-mapping package="persistence.hibernate.testbench.customtypetest">
   <class name="OrderEx" table="tbl_orders_ex" >
      <id name="_id" column="uid" type="long" unsaved-value="-1" access="field" >
         <generator class="native"/>
      </id>
      <property name="price" type="persistence.hibernate.testbench.customtypetest.MonetoryAmountExType">
         <column name="value" />
         <column name="currency" />
      </property>
   </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

This works in the case that currency is an int for example. But now I create a Currency class with a CurrencyType. How can I use this?

kind regards,

Wim

You cannot, and this is not really consistent since a type is the smalest unit managed in the Java world
