Mapping array with Hibernate

Question

Can you please help me to map this class using Hibernate?

public class MyClass{
    private Long id;
    private String name;
    private int[] values;
    .

Hibernate can map only the primitive types. Check under the org.hibernate.type folder of hibernate jar package. int array is not one of them. So you would have to write a custom type that can implement the UserType interface.

public class MyClass{
     private Long id;
     private String name;
     private Integer[] values;

     @Type(type = "com.usertype.IntArrayUserType")
     public Integer[] getValues(){
         return values;
     }

     public void setValues(Integer[] values){
         this.values = values;
     }
 }

IntArrayUserType.class

package com.usertype.IntArrayUserType;

public class IntArrayUserType implements UserType {

protected static final int[] SQL_TYPES = { Types.ARRAY };

@Override
public Object assemble(Serializable cached, Object owner) throws HibernateException {
    return this.deepCopy(cached);
}

@Override
public Object deepCopy(Object value) throws HibernateException {
    return value;
}

@Override
public Serializable disassemble(Object value) throws HibernateException {
    return (Integer[]) this.deepCopy(value);
}

@Override
public boolean equals(Object x, Object y) throws HibernateException {

    if (x == null) {
        return y == null;
    }
    return x.equals(y);
}

@Override
public int hashCode(Object x) throws HibernateException {
    return x.hashCode();
}

@Override
public boolean isMutable() {
    return true;
}

@Override
public Object nullSafeGet(ResultSet resultSet, String[] names, SessionImplementor session, Object owner)
        throws HibernateException, SQLException {
    if (resultSet.wasNull()) {
        return null;
    }
    if(resultSet.getArray(names[0]) == null){
        return new Integer[0];
    }

    Array array = resultSet.getArray(names[0]);
    Integer[] javaArray = (Integer[]) array.getArray();
    return javaArray;
}

@Override
public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement statement, Object value, int index, SessionImplementor session)
        throws HibernateException, SQLException {
    Connection connection = statement.getConnection();
    if (value == null) {
        statement.setNull(index, SQL_TYPES[0]);
    } else {
        Integer[] castObject = (Integer[]) value;
        Array array = connection.createArrayOf("integer", castObject);
        statement.setArray(index, array);
    }
}

@Override
public Object replace(Object original, Object target, Object owner)       throws HibernateException {
    return original;
}

@Override
public Class returnedClass() {
    return Integer[].class;
}

@Override
public int[] sqlTypes() {
    return new int[] { Types.ARRAY };
}

When you query for the MyClass entity you can add something like this:

Type intArrayType = new TypeLocatorImpl(new TypeResolver()).custom(IntArrayUserType.class);
Query query = getSession().createSQLQuery("select values from MyClass")
   .addScalar("values", intArrayType);
List results = (List) query.list();
