Pinaki Poddar updated OPENJPA-586:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: patch-586.1.txt

This patch includes 
  a) source code modification: The binding parameter types are changed to 
declared type of the fields instead of their externalized types
  b) test cases are added to verify the changes 

> Binding Query parameter fails validation for Externalized field

> OpenJPA supports a field f of declared type <T> be persisted in database 
> corresponding to a different type <S> when  f specifies a two-way 
> transformation between <S> and <T>. For example, a field f can be declared as 
> java.net.URL but stored in database as String (i.e. VARCHAR). 
> Now the question is:
>     When an 'externalized' field f occurs in query predicate and is bound by 
> a parameter p what should be the runtime type of p? 
>    The documentation [1] says p can be of either <T> or <S>.
> But the code breaks during parameter validation if Class(p) = <T> and with 
> data conversion error if Class(p) = <S>
> Example:
> 1.   Declare a persistent field f of type java.util.UUID externalized to 
> java.lang.String with a pair of transformer functions
>     @Persistent
>     @Externalizer("toString")        
>     @Factory("UUID.fromString")
>     private UUID    uuid;
> 2. Use the field f in a Query with a binding parameter:
>         String jpql = "SELECT p FROM ExternalValues p WHERE p.uuid=:uuid";
>         Query query = em.createQuery(jpql);
> 3. Try to set parameter on the query:
>          a) query.setParameter("uuid", new UUID(1,2));  // parameter type 
> equals declared type of f
> or
>          b) query.setParameter(1, new UUID(1,2).toString()); // parameter 
> type equals externalized type of f
> 4. Either of step 3a or 3b will result in runtime exception
