Sorry I didn’t make that clear. The table is defined to have type “BOOLEAN”. The Java type is Boolean for the column (the aptly named “boolean_value). This works, as is, when I from the middle tier -> database, using PostgreSQL JDBC drivers, using OpenJPA, with no changes to the postgres db dictionary.
When running inside a stored procedure (using PL/Java), I’m using a different JDBC driver (i.e. the one integrated into PL/Java), and I’m still using OpenJPA. However, this fails with the stack trace below, complaining the the expression is of type BIT, but the column is defined as type BOOLEAN.
