Hello.
I am using an ExtendedType to map a JTS Geometry to a CLOB as done here:
http://objectstyle.org/confluence/display/CAY/Mapping+JTS+Geometries
This has been working ok, but I have only used it for reading. Trying
to use the same ExtendedType for writing got me into an annoying
problem. On writing I typically set a Polygon or MultiPolygon on the
CayenneDataObject. P and MP are both subclasses of the mapped
Geometry, but are not mapped correctly as the map only contains class
names.
I have updated the example in the wiki to reflect this "problem".
Perhaps ExtendedType should map a Class (and handle subclasses)
instead of a String holding a class name? Just wanted to discuss it
here before creating a feature request for it.
Regards,
