Hi folks! I sense some chicken-egg proglem with FieldMapping and what field becomes a persistent column.
The point is that only fields which have a valid FieldMapping will become a persistent column. Currently the main check - as far as I do understand so far - is in PersistenceMetaDataDefaults#getPersistenceStrategy. Only fields which have some specific mapping annotations (PersistenceMetaDataDefaults#_strats) or implement Serializable get automatically picked up. Other classes get totally ignored. Even if I explicitly have a @Strategy annotation on them or if I register global FieldStrategies. I cannot extend the _strats to @Strategy.class as PersistenceMetaDataDefaults is defined in openjpa-persistence but Strategy is only defined later in openjpa-persistence-jdbc. What we could possibly do is to extend _attrs with the @Column annotation class? Any other ideas? LieGrue, strub
