I'm new to jpa and openjpa and to this list: 1. how to search the archives? I found http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openjpa-users/ where I can not figure out how to search
2. In my first attempt to use openjpa with netbeans/maven I created classes from an existing mysql db. everything worked fine until I added a table with a char typed column. I got an exception telling me, that there is a type conflict, because 'Y' is not an integer. As I commented the private char variable and its accessors everything worked fine again, accept that I can not get hold of the char column. I googled and found something which I did not understand. Do you have any point of clarification for me? rolf
