How to map an ArrayList of primitives to a single column?

Question

Let\'s say I have the following situation:

Object Car has an ArrayList of prices, which are all numbers. Is it possible in Hibernate to save all the prices in a sin

You can implement your own custom type as an array:

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.6/reference/en-US/html/types.html#types-custom

Also, it is not that hard to find some implementations, some of them going as far to let you compare those arrays in a HQL where clause.

I personally never thought i would try something like this. But now I am very curious.
