Hi all!
I have recently downloaded Hibernate 3.0 beta 1, updating from 3.0 alpha, since then, the
Code:
org.hibernate.usertype.UserType
interface has changed to include two more methods,
Code:
public int hashCode(Object o)
which was easily understandable and implemented; the second method added was
Code:
public Object replace(Object original, Object target, Object owner) throws HibernateException
which I have no clue how to implement, i.e. I couldn't find out what this method is supposed to do as it is not documented in the API-docs and neither could I find anything in Google or on hibernate.org.
Can anyone please help and give me a hint what this method should do?
kind regards,
Messi
