Serializable as Datatype?

[allforjava.allforjava.aol.in]

Dear Team,

Towards Postgres 'bit varying' datatype the seam-gen has generated the code with the datatype as java.io.Serializable, respectively.

e.g:
private Serializable status; // member variable for Postgres 'bit varying' datatype

How to deal with it? Is there anyting I need to implement/code?

As when default generated code is executed it thrown:

Caused by: java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header: 31313131
     at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readStreamHeader(ObjectInputStream.java:783)
     at java.io.ObjectInputStream.<init>(ObjectInputStream.java:280)

Note: Postgres do not provide Base64 encoding. And default is, UTF8.

How to deal with it?
