oracle - Hibernate Timestamp with Timezone

Question

I'm new to Hibernate and am working with an Oracle 10g database. We have columns in our tables that are of type TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE. Hibernate does not seem to support this mapping directly. Is there a standard way to go about this?

An example of a UserType storing java.util.Calendar with time zone information is given in this blog post: http://www.joobik.com/2010/12/mapping-dates-and-time-zones-with.html
