Hi guys, seems today only serialization can be used using @Externalizer/@Factory. However when both rely on the same type and the type is easy enough (let take the so common String example) I think we can map it 1-1 in the database. Advantage is you can use any sql too to update the values.
Opened a task and proposed a patch for it https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2589 wdyt?
