Hibernate SQLQuery and Oracle CLOB (long text)

This is possibly very obvious but it took me a while to find the answer.  Using existing native queries (SQLQuery) in hibernate I have a CLOB column I needed to map using a result set transformer.  Note when you use one addScalar() you must map every column with addScalar() that you want returned.  Use the org.hibernate.type.TextType (hibernate 3.5, it looks like hibernate 4 would be TextType.TEXTTYPE).

String sql = "SELECT BLAH_ID as id, FOO_DETAIL as detailText FROM blah";

Query query =
            session.createSQLQuery(sql)
            .addScalar("id")
            .addScalar("detailText", new TextType())
            .setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(SomePojo.class));

class SomePojo {
    private Long id;
    private String detailText;

    ...getters and setters...
}

Now the real question is why did they do this native hibernate inside a Spring JpaRepository and not use NamedParameterJDBCTemplate with BeanPropertyRowMapper? It's very similar but I find the Spring style cleaner. Time to refactor.
