> The Date fields in the company model are currently mapped to columns of type 
> VARCHAR(32).  It is better practice to use a TIMESTAMP column for these 
> fields. The affected columns are companies.FOUNDEDDATE, and BIRTHDATE,  and 
> HIREDATE in persons, employees, parttimeemployees, and/of fulltimeemployees 
> tables.
> Note that there is a regression in the current JPOX SNAPSHOT that causes all 
> of the company model CompletenessTest tests to fail with a 12 hour difference 
> between actual and expected Dates in these fields.  The affected tests are 
> invoked with the src/conf/company*.conf configuration files. These tests pass 
> with the current schema (VARCHAR(32) columns) on JPOX 1.1.7.  After this 
> change is checked in, these tests will pass on the JPOX SNAPSHOT.
