Solutions

1. Annotate the property with an explicit type (@JavaType/@JdbcType, @Type, or a JPA @Convert) so Hibernate knows how to map it.
2. Check that the Java type is registered in the type registry; custom types must be contributed via a TypeContributor or @TypeDef.

Example fix

Annotate the property with an explicit type (@JavaType/@JdbcType, @Type, or a JPA @Convert) so Hibernate knows how to map it.

When it happens

Trigger: An entity mapping annotation or bootstrap configuration violates a Hibernate mapping rule.

Common situations: Annotation mapping mistakes: inverse-side @Id associations, @Column on @OneToOne, unmapped association targets, mismatched @EnumeratedValue/@Temporal usage, duplicate sequence generators.
