here r two possiblities:

1. i have a vague recollection of doing this by having a String property =
in my java class, letting hibernate generate the schema and then =
manually changing the column type in the database (sapdb in this case) =
from varchar to the appropriate clob type.  this wasn't much of hassle =
as i did the schema creation via ant - first called hibernate's schema =
export tool and then ran a sql script to fix the column type.

2. use a blob (as far as hibernate is concerned).  make a bogus getter =
and setter that uses a byte[] that reads and writes too your String =
field and tell hibernate about this and not your real getter and setter.
