Using @Type for Binary data in Hibernate >6

I am doing a Spring Boot course written in Spring Boot 2.19, Hibernate 5.3.12 and Java 8.
I am using Java 17, Hibernate 6.1.6 and Spring Boot 3.0.2.

I sorted many things that didn't match, but one problem I can't find the solution to is that :

@Type(type="org.hibernate.type.BinaryType")

is apparently deprecated since Hibernate 6 (I get the error "Cannot resolve method type")

However, none of the solutions I found were related to binary data and I couldn't find anything relevant in the docs .. I guess because I'm so new to this area I probably can't see the answer when it hits me!

Based on various sources I tried:

@Convert(converter = org.hibernate.type.BinaryConverter.class)

@Type(BinaryType) 

IDE does not suggest anything for Binary.. in either of the cases..

I guess I could just download the lower version dependency of hibernate, but I am curious still how does this work in the newest Hibernate version?

You have not really given enough information here, but probably the solution is:

@JdbcType(VarbinaryJdbcType.class)

or:

@JdbcTypeCode(Types.VARBINARY)

Quick update in case anyone else encounters this, it appears Hibernate 6 is taking care of this exact type conversion on its own, without the need for additional settings, so simply getting rid off the attribute:

@Type(type="org.hibernate.type.BinaryType")

solved the problem and the project appears to be running fine.
