FYI, registering a custom domain type is just part of the equation here. Similarly we can register a custom SqlTypeDescriptor
. Together these offer extendability beyond just AttributeConverter.

As mentioned by Steve on the forum, the
JavaTypeDescriptorRegistry
allows us to register aJavaTypeDescriptor
which can handle a certain Java entity property type so that custom types implemented viaAttributeConverter
can be auto-discovered by Hibernate.We need to document this process based on the example offered in the Hibernate forum attached at the beginning of this issue.
