Re: custom types

[Fernando Padilla]

An aside, is there a standard JPA way to encode 'custom' types, or 
externalizer/factory type setups?

Though I do like the ease of use of Externalizer/Factory, I was just 
wondering if I could register my custom datatypes, so that they will be 
treated almost like native types, so I have less meta-data to maintain..

1)
    @Persistent
    @Externalizer("getIdLong")
    private TeamId ptTeamId;

2)
    @Basic // which ideally might be optional
    private TeamId ptTeamId;
