Unfortunately we are. But luckily it is pretty easy. In your own DI module do this: public class CayenneJava8Module implements Module { @Override public void configure(Binder binder) { binder.bindList(Constants.SERVER_DEFAULT_TYPES_LIST) .add(new MyType1()) .add(new MyType2()); } } Andrus > On Oct 8, 2015, at 9:05 AM, Michael Gentry <mgen...@masslight.net> wrote: > > Hi Hugi, > > If you are using 3.1, we appear to be missing the documentation for > ExtendedTypes at the bottom of this page: > > http://cayenne.apache.org/docs/3.1/cayenne-guide/customizing-cayenne-runtime.html > > If you are using 3.0 (and it may be the same in 3.1, I've just not done it > there yet): > > http://cayenne.apache.org/docs/3.0/extended-types.html > > Once your extended type is registered, you specify it in the Cayenne Model > as the Java type (that field/column is editable by you -- you aren't > restricted to the types in the pulldown). > > > On Thu, Oct 8, 2015 at 5:19 AM, Hugi Thordarson <h...@karlmenn.is> wrote: > >> Thanks for the advice everyone.
