Hello,
I am trying to use a custom ValueHandler to map custom objects to columns.
I have implemented a class
pl.com.agora.testcase.valuehandler.ConfigurationOptionValueHandler
extends org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.meta.strats.AbstractValueHandler
In my entities I use it as follows:
@Persistent
@Column(name = "OPTION")
@Strategy("pl.com.agora.testcase.valuehandler.ConfigurationOptionValueHandler")
private ConfigurationOption option;
The problem is, an org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException is
thrown on the first attempt to access the entity, where the root of
the problem is:
org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException:
"pl.com.agora.testcase.entity.TestEntity.option" declared custom value
handler "pl.com.agora.testcase.valuehandler.ConfigurationOptionValueHandler",
but this handler cannot be instantiated.

I did some debugging and found out, that the problem seems to be, that
the method
org.apache.openjpa.lib.meta.CFMetaDataParser.classForName(String name,
String pkg, boolean resolve, ClassLoader loader)
called by
org.apache.openjpa.meta.JavaTypes.classForName(String name,
ClassMetaData meta, Class dec, ValueMetaData vmd, ClassLoader loader)
returns null instead of my ConfigurationOptionValueHandler class.
If I call this method from within my application though, with
classloader set to null and other arguments the same, it works
properly and returns desired class.
I am using bea weblogic 10.0.1 with openjpa 1.0.0
The ConfigurationOptionValueHandler class is located in the same jar
file, as the TestEntity class.
This jar file is located in a lib folder of a war installed as a
library on the server.
My application is also installed as a war and depends on that library.
My guess is the value handler should be located somewhere else, but I
don't know where this should be.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Mikolaj.
