Blob type for @Type(type="serializable")

Hi,
@Type(type="serializable") is exported to ddl as tinyblob.
Is there a way to change this?

Thanks,

Just discovered org.hibernate.type.SerializableToBlobType.

Is there a typedef for it?

Ok, but @Lob doesn't work here because the return type of the getter I'm annotating is not implementing Serializable (it's Map). The actual return type is a serializable implementation of Map. If I use @Lob I get "com.v2.common.EncodableEnumMap cannot be cast to java.sql.Blob".

Thanks,
Octav

ah Map might be problematic, but generally speaking Serializable
are stored in a blob of @Lob is used.

In SimpleValueBinder

Code:

else if ( mappings.getReflectionManager()
               .toXClass( Serializable.class )
               .isAssignableFrom( returnedClassOrElement ) ) {
            type = SerializableToBlobType.class.getName();
            //typeParameters = new Properties();
            typeParameters.setProperty(
                  SerializableToBlobType.CLASS_NAME,
                  returnedClassOrElement.getName()
            );
         }
