Hello All:

We are getting the following exception when we call create() on home for a CMP EntityBean:

We are running on WinXP, jboss 3.0.6 release, mySQL. The table that we are mapped to contains a varchar(255) and a BLOB. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This has been working in the past. In fact it works on 3.0.6 pre-release (I forget which exact build). Thanks!
