Thanks, but I have already mapped BigDecimal type in this database schema. As I'm using Postgres dbms for development I have mapped it as follows but without any success:
<type-mapping type="java.math.BigDecimal" name="decimal" /> As far as the pk type is concerned it is not up to me, being an Orion user basically I've always used long types. Still my task is to port this application from Weblogic to Orion - J2EE protability ;). Anyways, thanks for helping me out.

This could be your database-scheme. I notice that most of the database schemas that come with Orion (look at the config/database-schemas) do not include a field for java.math.BigDecimal. However, the SapDB.xml schema does. Copy this bit into your database schema, and this will probably fix your problem: <type-mapping type="java.math.BigDecimal" name="fixed(15,15)" /> Why aren't you using Long as the pk? Many who use orion use Long's. This could be why you found this problem, because you were the first to use a BigDecimal as a pk. If you are new to Orion, come join us at www.elephantwalker.com.

Hi, I'm having a really annoying problem with Orion. I'm importing an application from Weblogic to Orion. It consists of basic CMP EntityBeans so that I can test whether I can port a much bigger application. Anyways, those Beans use BigDecimal as Primary keys. In the design of this application, some of those beans have a parenthood relationship as well as references to other beans. As the application should allow null parenthood for instance, the beans should store null value in the associated DB field. This being said, this test framework works fine with weblogic. As far as Orion is concerned, I get NullPointerExceptions when creating the beans, which by default have null references to other beans. As I found it weird I messed up with the automatically-generated classes -e.g. PersonBeanHome_EntityHomeWrapper14.java - and I found out that when a bean generates PreparedStatements and instanciates them, it checks whether String or Date fields are null and if so call the setNull(...) method, but does not for BigDecimal fields leading to the NullPointerException. Well, d'you have any idea how to walk round this? Thanks, Nicolas
