Si está interesado, aquí hay algunos fragmentos de código para obtener el tipo de usuario personalizado de Hibernate. Primero extienda el dialecto de PostgreSQL para contarle sobre el tipo json, gracias a Craig Ringer por el puntero JAVA_OBJECT:
import org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL9Dialect;
import java.sql.Types;
/**
* Wrap default PostgreSQL9Dialect with 'json' type.
*
* @author timfulmer
*/
public class JsonPostgreSQLDialect extends PostgreSQL9Dialect {
public JsonPostgreSQLDialect() {
super();
this.registerColumnType(Types.JAVA_OBJECT, "json");
}
}
A continuación, implemente org.hibernate.usertype.UserType. La implementación a continuación asigna valores de cadena al tipo de base de datos json y viceversa. Recuerde que las cadenas son inmutables en Java. También se podría usar una implementación más compleja para asignar beans Java personalizados a JSON almacenados en la base de datos.
package foo;
import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.engine.spi.SessionImplementor;
import org.hibernate.usertype.UserType;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Types;
/**
* @author timfulmer
*/
public class StringJsonUserType implements UserType {
/**
* Return the SQL type codes for the columns mapped by this type. The
* codes are defined on <tt>java.sql.Types</tt>.
*
* @return int[] the typecodes
* @see java.sql.Types
*/
@Override
public int[] sqlTypes() {
return new int[] { Types.JAVA_OBJECT};
}
/**
* The class returned by <tt>nullSafeGet()</tt>.
*
* @return Class
*/
@Override
public Class returnedClass() {
return String.class;
}
/**
* Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality".
* Equality of the persistent state.
*
* @param x
* @param y

*/
@Override
public boolean equals(Object x, Object y) throws HibernateException {
if( x== null){
return y== null;
}
return x.equals( y);
}
/**
* Get a hashcode for the instance, consistent with persistence "equality"
*/
@Override
public int hashCode(Object x) throws HibernateException {
return x.hashCode();
}
/**

}
return rs.getString(names[0]);
}
/**

@Override
public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st, Object value, int index, SessionImplementor session) throws HibernateException, SQLException {
if (value == null) {
st.setNull(index, Types.OTHER);
return;
}
st.setObject(index, value, Types.OTHER);
}

return this.deepCopy( cached);

*/
@Override
public Object replace(Object original, Object target, Object owner) throws HibernateException {
return original;
}
}
Ahora todo lo que queda es anotar las entidades. Pon algo como esto en la declaración de clase de la entidad:
@TypeDefs( {@TypeDef( name= "StringJsonObject", typeClass = StringJsonUserType.class)})
Luego anote la propiedad:
@Type(type = "StringJsonObject")
public String getBar() {
return bar;
}
Hibernate se encargará de crear la columna con el tipo json por usted y manejará el mapeo de un lado a otro. Inyecte bibliotecas adicionales en la implementación del tipo de usuario para un mapeo más avanzado.
Aquí hay una muestra rápida de un proyecto de GitHub si alguien quiere jugar con él:
