For some reason when a column in my postgres database is defined as CHAR(*), it will not resolve properly when validating the generated bean against the database. I ended up having to change my datatypes to VARCHARS. Anyone know anything about this? 11:56:48,412 INFO [TableMetadata] table found: adlib.profile_changelog 11:56:48,412 INFO [TableMetadata] columns: [pcl_text, pcl_id, pcl_flags, pcl_prof_id, pcl_datetime] 11:56:48,414 WARN [ServiceController] Problem starting service persistence.units:ear=adlib_persistence_generator.ear,unitName=adlib_persistence_generator javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type: pcl_flags, expected: varchar(10) at org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration.buildEntityManagerFactory(Ejb3Configuration.java:720) at org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(HibernatePersistence.java:127) at org.jboss.ejb3.entity.PersistenceUnitDeployment.start(PersistenceUnitDeployment.java:246) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4108189#...
