Hi,

Spring ClobStringType is deprecated in favour of Hibernate 4/5.

What would be a substitute for hbm.xml style mapping this:


Wit Hibernate 5 and Spring 4 - am I able to still have String summary property in my java class?

You can use the @Lob annotation:



I don't think there is an equivalent for HBM, but you can mix HBM and annotations, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Is there any adapter - way for this? Like creating custom type or adapter... to have hmb working?

You can retain all the HBM mappings, you just have to remove the summary property definition from HBM and annotate the summary property with @Lob on the entity class.

HBM are considered deprecated, so if you plan on migrating to Hibernate 5, you should migrate to annotations as well.
If you check the Hibernate 5 deprecation list, it's stated that:
