hibernateexception: wrong column type in entity bean

[x490812]

I am using sql server 2005 and I have an ntext field. What should my column annotation be in my entity bean for this type?
When I use:
@column(name="descr") on my field getter, I get the "wrong column type... expected varchar(255)" error. How do you specify column annotations for ntext, nvarchar, and other special types that sql server has. Pointers to documentation on this issue would be appreciated. Thanks

look at @Column's columnDefinition attribute.

I did look at columnDefinition, and here is what I found:

columnDefinition

public abstract String columnDefinition

(Optional) The SQL fragment that is used when generating the DDL for the column.

Defaults to the generated SQL to create a column of the inferred type.

This is only for table generation, not type mapping. I have not tried it in code, but the definition says it will not resolve the error I am getting. Any other ideas?

i've used the following in Oracle:

columnDefinition = "varchar2(15 char) default ''"
