Major Description
When I see the type="text" attribute in a Hibernate property element I would like to be able to convert that to a <lob/> child element in OpenJPA.
For example, I would like the following line in a Hibernate hbm.xml file:
<property name="value" column="VALUE" type="text"/>
to become the following orm.xml entry:
<basic name="value">
<column name="VALUE"/>
<lob/>
</basic>
I can get <lob/> by using this in the actions for "property" in migration-actions.xml:
<promote-attr from="type" to="lob">
<map-value from="text" to=""/>
</promote-attr>
but that will only work if type's value is "text". It would be great if we could introduce a new type in migration-actions.xsd: "ignore-value". We can already ignore elements and attributes, but not values yet (unless they have particular values like the example above). Then I could do something like this:
<promote-attr from="type" to="lob">
<ignore-value/>
</promote-attr>
