Mark -
Can we see the code that shows how you are getting a FtpConnection? Also,
what version of OpenJPA are you running and how are you enhancing your
Entities?
One note, I'm pretty certain you can get rid of the 'targetClass =
FtpSubdirectory.class' attribute of your ElementCollection annotation.
Thanks,
Rick
