Hi Marc, Very cool. Haven't used Joda Time myself yet, but heard a lot of good things about it.
This list strips attachments (so we didn't get it), and also would be cool if could cover some legal bases and later include your ExtendedType in Cayenne base. So would it be possible for you to open a Jira at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY and attach your code file, checking "Grant license to ASF for inclusion in ASF works" in the attachment dialog? > What is the purpose of the ExtendedType.validateProperty() function? > I was forced to implement it, but the docs say that it is deprecated? > My version is never called in my app for some reason, and I just > return true. Yep, that's all you need to do. ExtendedType.validateProperty is deprecated in 3.0 and is removed in 3.1 Cheers, Andrus On Aug 9, 2011, at 1:55 AM, Marc O'Morain wrote: > Hi all, > > I have just created a custom ExtendedType to allow Cayenne to > load/save DateTime object created with the Joda Time API.
