Ok it was what I wanted, an example of the most comprehensive jpa enhancement applied to OpenJPA.
I missed the part of the plug-in OpenJPA in maven, and so everything is clear. Now for reasons of time, I settled with the java reflections, but when I have some time I'll try with this solution, and I think that will definitely work. Thanks for your help! -- View this message in context: http://openjpa.208410.n2.nabble.com/Null-field-not-persisted-for-Dates-tp5993519p7589816.html Sent from the OpenJPA Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
