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.
