Upgrading Hibernate to 6.1 - How to specify the equivalent of @Type(type="text")?-CodePudding

We're currently using Hibernate 5.6 but are trying to upgrade to Hibernate 6.1. In one entity we have this property:

@Type(type = "text")
private String someText;

But in Hibernate 6.1, the type field in the @Type annotation is removed. Now the @Type annotation is defined like this:

@java.lang.annotation.Target({METHOD, FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Type {

    /**
     * The implementation class which implements {@link UserType}.
     */
    Class<? extends UserType<?>> value();

    /**
     * Parameters to be injected into the custom type after it is
     * instantiated. The {@link UserType} implementation must implement
     * {@link org.hibernate.usertype.ParameterizedType} to receive the
     * parameters.
     */
    Parameter[] parameters() default {};
}

Question: What's the equivalent of @Type(type = "text") in Hibernate 6.1?

CodePudding user response：

Based on Hibernate 5.0 documentation - For text BasicTypeRegistry key corresponds LONGVARCHAR Jdbc type.

And in Hibernate 6.1.5 documentation is offered the option to use @JdbcTypeCode annotation:

@JdbcTypeCode(Types.LONGVARCHAR)
private String text;

CodePudding user response：

I don't know the proper syntax for using @Type with Hibernate 6 , but as a workaround, you may try using the @Column annotation:

@Column(columnDefinition="TEXT")
private String someText;
