How can Hibernate map the SQL data-type nvarchar(max)?

Question

I have a column in my SQL-2005 database that used to be a varchar(max), but it has been changed to an nvarchar(max).

Answer 1

What worked for me is to put the actual column definition in a @Column annotation:

    @Column(name="requestXml", columnDefinition = "ntext")
private String request;
