@Strategy and @ElementStrategy handling resets/obstructs SQL type setting in 
the customhandler map()

                 Key: OPENJPA-1687
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1687
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
         Environment: OS X, Linux
            Reporter: Krzysztof



openJPA advertises itself as an expandable framework and provides @Strategy 
(and undocumented) @ElementStrategy annotations to create mappings.

I would like to create support for already existing JDBC4 standard mapping 
primitive arrays mapping in i.e. Postgres:

java double[]-> SQL float8[]

Unfortunately it is not possible to make it work with a @Strategy as enhancer 
blindly checks if the field is a collection/array and refuses to do anything 
with it.
In the case like this a field should not be delegated to an external table but 
simply embedded - same way LOBs are, with different 
toDataStoreValue/toObjectValue pair as provided in the strategy below..

If we use @ElementStrategy, i.e.:

<class>
 @PersistentCollection
    @ElementStrategy("gaia.cu7.dal.PostgresJPAArrayHandler")
    @ElementColumns({
        @ElementColumn(name="TDOUBLE")
    })

 private double tdouble[];
</class>

then enhancer accepts it. Schema synchronisation creates wrong DDL suppressing 
given SQL type and mapping it to SQL keyword ARRAY. 


Does this rather simple requirement is not covered by openJPA? 
Would be grateful for any hints, comments...
