I do not understand the problem well enough (perhaps you can provide a
little code example ?) but what you could do is to use the first characte
of the String in the database as a flag: "N" for null and "O" for other
(not null). You can overwrite the setters and getters such that they add
and remove the flag automatically.
You could use the template override mechanism in Torque4 to do this with
minimum impact. There is a similar example in the torque4 test project (use
the overrideConfigDir to override certain template settings). If you look
at it and there is not enough documentation just open a jira issue.
