Support for PostgreSQL UUID data type
Description
PostgreSQL has since version 8.3 UUID as data type nativly supported in the database.
The only way to get this to work in Hibernate is to add <column name="id" sql-type="uuid"/> to your mappings file (or @columnDefinition via annotations)
and create your own custom usertype (e.g. public class UUIDUserType implements UserType, Serializable {..} ) and map this to java.util.UUID
worth mentioning is that java.util.UUID is only introduced in java 1.5 so there might be a backwards compatibility problem

David (et al), please give this a try (you'll need to grab the nightly build or build from source for the time being)
I have been testing this, I will post my testing results and additional suggestions this weekend.
I successfully ran thru some tests with just 2 changes:
set registerUnderJavaType to true, and needed to use a different setObject overload in method: getBinder().
I will attach a small patch file.
I just forgot the binding change. That I can accept.
The other, not so much. The intention though is that your code can do this:
Committed the binding change
