Check out the FieldConversion interface. You can define your own FieldConversion that takes the Java representation (a String) and turns it into the database representation (a number) when rows are saved and does the reverse when they're read in. You then just register that FieldConversion using the field-descriptor's 'conversion' attribute for the appropriate fields.

Because of performance I don't want to store them as Strings. Integers would be my favorit datatype. But then i have to lookup for the meaning or the integers in my javacode. This is something, i don't like. Any hints? Does OJB support a machanism for this? joerg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
