Hi Rick,

What should happen when a relationship to a non-Entity (or an Entity

is in a different PU) is found by the OpenJPA runtime? For example,
if I had
the following Entity:
@Entity
public class AnnoTest1 {
@ManyToOne
Object o;
...
}
This results in a warning message [1], but it is allowed. Does this
make
sense, or should we fail fast when this condition is encountered?
I think the default (mapping non-persistent types to BLOB) makes sense
for @Basic types, but I think we should hold relationships to a higher
standard.
What does @ManyToOne mean when the other side is serialized? No sense
to me.

[1] 297 TestConv WARN [main] openjpa.MetaData - OpenJPA cannot
map field
"test.AnnoTest1.o" efficiently. It is of an unsupported type. The
field
value will be serialized to a BLOB by default.
