Andreas Borg commented on OPENJPA-2671:
---------------------------------------

[~struberg], thanks for your suggestion. I fixed my application by detecting at 
runtime if HSQLDB is used and if yes, setting this property before initializing 
the EntityManagerFactory:

{code}
HashMap<String, String> persistenceOptions = new HashMap<String, String>();
if (isHsqldb()) {
        persistenceOptions.put("openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary", 
"(DoubleTypeName=DOUBLE)");                 
}
EntityManager emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("myApplication", 
persistenceOptions);
{code}

For my application, this issue is thereby solved. I leave it to you to decide 
if there should be a general fix.

> Currently, Java type {{double}} is mapped to {{NUMERIC}} for HSQLDB:
> {code:title=HSQLDictionary.java, line 82|borderStyle=solid}
>        doubleTypeName = "NUMERIC";
> {code}
> (see 
> https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/browse/~tag=2.4.1/openjpa/tags/2.4.1/openjpa-jdbc/src/main/java/org/apache/openjpa/jdbc/sql/HSQLDictionary.java?hb=true).
> This seems wrong to me, as HSQLDB's {{NUMERIC}} is not a binary floating 
> point type, but represents exact decimal numbers and maps to Java type 
> {{BigDecimal}} (see HSQL documentation: 
> http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0/guide/sqlgeneral-chapt.html#sgc_numeric_types). The 
> corresponding HSQL type for {{double}} is, according to this manual, 
> {{REAL}}, {{FLOAT}} or {{DOUBLE}} (all being equivalent).
