[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - seam-gen vs. Oracle CHAR(n) and FLOAT

[steve_of_AR]

A couple of type-mapping problems with seam-gen/hibernate and an Oracle database:
    CHAR(200)  in the database becomes a String entity property
    FLOAT in the database becomes a double entity property

These cause exceptions during deployment.   I can probably fix these in the seam-gen.reveng.xml file's typemapping section, but for the character field I'd really rather that it be a String in my entity instead of a Char[] (if that's what it wants).  Is there a bettter way to fix these?  Why's hibernate being so picky? I thought jdbc at least would silently do these conversions anyway...

The deployment exception (for the CHAR(200) column):
    WARN  [ServiceController] Problem starting service persistence.units:ear=Janus.ear,unitName=DevSchema
  | javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type: CODE_CD, expected: varchar2(200 char)
  | 	at org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration.buildEntityManagerFactory(Ejb3Configuration.java:698)
  |
