Hallo all.
As described in this thread http:// stackoverflow.com/questions/4706102/jpa-discriminator-column -problem
I have a problem with the @DiscriminatorColumn.
On DB the discriminator column is CHAR(2) and it contains data on 1 char (e.g. 1,2,3,4,A).

If I model the@DiscriminatorValue("1") like this I get no data (even if the data is present on DB).

If I model the@DiscriminatorValue("1 ") like this with a space I get [EclipseLink-43] Missing class for indicator field value [1] of type [class java.lang.String].

If I change the column on DB and set to CHAR(1) all works great, but I have a legacy DB and I cannot make this change.

Is it possible to make some workaround? I need to say to eclipselink to make a trim when it handles that columns, or something similar.

Any idea?
kind regards
Massimo
