Lob of type String creates strange JPA code

[rainer.schuster]

Dear community!

I created a simple entity like this

jpa-new-entity --named MyEntity

jpa-new-field --type String --named text --lob

The resulting JPA code is (note the type "B" instead of "String")

   @Lob
   @Column(length = 2147483647)
   private B text;

   public B getText()
   {
      return text;
   }


   public void setText(B text)
   {
      this.text = text;
   }

Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?

Thanks!

Rainer
