Disclaimer: I'm new to eclipselink, so I may just be doing something horribly wrong.
I'm trying to use the @Array annotation that appears to be new in Eclipselink 2.3 to map a collection of Integers to a single table column. Unfortunately, I am not responsible for this database design and am unable to change it.
Here's my basic test structure:
@Entity
@Table( name = "testarray" )
public class Test {
@Id
@Column ( name = "testarrayid" )
private long id;
@Array( databaseType="INTEGER[]" )
@Column( name = "value" )
private List<Integer> value;
...
}
This appears to create an ArrayMapping, which is desired, and it passes the values down to line 752 of AbstractCompositeDirectCollectionMapping, where it calls getDescriptor().buildFieldValueFromDirectValues(). However, the descriptor is of type RelationalDescriptor, which throws an exception when this is called (DescriptorException.normalDescriptorsDoNotSupportNonRelationalExtensions).
I see no way that this could actually work. Is this a bug in EclipseLink, or am I doing something wrong?

Okay, thanks for letting me know; I am using Postgresql.
As a workaround, since I am only reading the data for the time being, I am reading it as a string and parsing the string value manually.
I have submitted this as bug 361701, "@Array annotation does not support basic types," priority normal.
