in the standardjaws.xml file there is no type mapping
for Oracle8 / java type java.util.Date
in some other postings it is suggested to use java.sql.Date instead
i think, i found an other solution, that allowed me to use java.util.Date in an CMP EntityBean:
i added the following to the Oracle8 type mappings in
standardjaws.xml
<java-type>java.util.Date</java-type>
<jdbc-type>TIMESTAMP</jdbc-type>
<sql-type>DATE</sql-type>
for me this worked.
if this solution also works for others, it should be added to the distributions standardjaws.xml document.
... i forgot to mention this
you can also use java.util.Date inside a CMP EntityBean without this particular type mapping as long as you do not try to insert null values into the database date field
