Slaapstand, Postgres en arraytype

Ik heb een paar versies geprobeerd op basis van Array Type geïntroduceerd door JDBC4:Hoe kan ik een String[]-parameter instellen op een native query?. Probleem is ook Hibernate (zelfs in de laatste versie 4.3.1.final) werkt niet met deze nieuwe functies en gaf me de volgende foutmelding

Could not determine a type for class: org.postgresql.jdbc4.Jdbc4Array

Dus ik moest een specifiek gebruikerstype maken (gebaseerd op verschillende artikelen in stackoverflow en andere bronnen)

Mijn model

@Type(type = "fr.mycompany.dao.hibernate.types.ArrayUserType")
private String[] values;

Mijn ArrayUserType

public class ArrayUserType implements UserType {

/** Constante contenant le type SQL "Array".
 */
protected static final int[] SQL_TYPES = { Types.ARRAY };

/**
 * 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
 */
public final int[] sqlTypes() {
    return SQL_TYPES;
}

/**
 * The class returned by <tt>nullSafeGet()</tt>.
 * 
 * @return Class
 */
public final Class returnedClass() {
    return String[].class;
}

/**
 * Retrieve an instance of the mapped class from a JDBC resultset. Implementors
 * should handle possibility of null values.
 * 
 * @param resultSet a JDBC result set.
 * @param names the column names.
 * @param session SQL en cours.
 * @param owner the containing entity 
 * @return Object
 * @throws org.hibernate.HibernateException exception levée par Hibernate
 * lors de la récupération des données.
 * @throws java.sql.SQLException exception SQL 
 * levées lors de la récupération des données.
 */
@Override
public final Object nullSafeGet(
        final ResultSet resultSet, 
        final String[] names, 
        final SessionImplementor session, 
        final Object owner) throws HibernateException, SQLException {
    if (resultSet.wasNull()) {
        return null;
    }

    String[] array = (String[]) resultSet.getArray(names[0]).getArray();
    return array;
}

/**
 * Write an instance of the mapped class to a prepared statement. Implementors
 * should handle possibility of null values. A multi-column type should be written
 * to parameters starting from <tt>index</tt>.
 * 
 * @param statement a JDBC prepared statement.
 * @param value the object to write

 * @param session sql en cours
 * @throws org.hibernate.HibernateException exception levée par Hibernate

 */
@Override
public final void nullSafeSet(final PreparedStatement statement, final Object value, 
        final int index, final SessionImplementor session) throws HibernateException, SQLException {

    if (value == null) {
        statement.setNull(index, SQL_TYPES[0]);
    } else {
        String[] castObject = (String[]) value;
        Array array = session.connection().createArrayOf("text", castObject);
        statement.setArray(index, array);
    }
}

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

@Override
public final boolean isMutable() {
    return false;
}

@Override
public final Object assemble(final Serializable arg0, final Object arg1)
        throws HibernateException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

@Override
public final Serializable disassemble(final Object arg0) throws HibernateException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

@Override
public final boolean equals(final Object x, final Object y) throws HibernateException {
    if (x == y) {
        return true;
    } else if (x == null || y == null) {
        return false;
    } else {
        return x.equals(y);
    }
}

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

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

}

En de laatste, maar minste (dat is wat ik heb gemist):wanneer ik SQL Native Query moet uitvoeren, moet ik het parametertype forceren met de volgende syntaxis

String[] values = ...
Type arrayType = new CustomType(new ArrayUserType());
query.setParameter("value", values, arrayType);
