What is the proper way to specify an array of primitives in an XML file for use in :
configuration.addFile(XMLFile)

that will not generate a message such as:

.net.sf.hibernate.MappingException: Could not interpret type: int[]

(Also, a similar message is generated for byte[], and other arrays of primitives).

Thanks

Charlie

Hibernate version: 2.1.2

Error generated before session.Factory.openSession() is called

I'm using postgresql 7.4

If each element of the array is gathered from a seperate record in a table, try <primitive-array>

Example:

Otherwise, if the whole array is stored in one field of each record, you need to define your own UserType. Some additional UserTypes for postgres are defined here: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HB-450

The following code solves the problem:

private byte[] stuff;
...
/**
* @hibernate.property
* type="net.sf.hibernate.type.BinaryType"
public byte[] getStuff()
{
return this.stuff;
}

I also posted this to the sdoclet mailing list
