When SychronizeMappings is set to buildSchema, as it always is for me (in head-down development mode), every run of unit tests or app server is prefaced by a large collection of spurious warnings. A specimen: 3635 myproj WARN [http-8080-Processor24] openjpa.jdbc.Schema - Existing column "id" on table "public.share" is incompatible with the same column in the given schema definition. Existing column: Full Name: share.id Type: char Size: 32 Default: null Not Null: true Given column: Full Name: Share.id Type: varchar Size: 255 Default: null Not Null: true Now, the existing column was, of course, originally created (correctly) as a char(32) by the same schema update routine, thanks to the following annotation on the field in question: @Id @GeneratedValue(generator = "uuid-hex") @Column(columnDefinition = "char(32)") public String getId() { return id; } Why does the schema sync complain? I have tried asking the sync to read schema, a la <property name="openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings" value="buildSchema(ReadSchema=true)" /> but it made no difference.
Thanks, --
