This is a little offtopic - so I apologize in advance but I'm building Tapestry applications and have a Hibernate question that I'd like to pose here.
Is there preferred type for simple Hibernate IDs? Simply stated, I'm asking about the two orthogonal choices: (native vs object, range or size) Is an int preferred to an Integer? Is there a compelling argument for either native or Object? Is an Integer preferred to a Long (if the extra range of the the Long is unecessary)? For instance, using hsqldb - would a Long possibly require TWO columns and an Integer only one? If anyone has time to chime in briefly, I'm just asking for the most generally used/accepted practices. -Luther
