I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but I have a java app running in JBoss that uses EclipseLink to persist to a Postgres database. I've added a field with a 'path' datatype to one of the tables but I keep getting the following exception when I try to insert data:

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Can't infer the SQL type to use for an instance of org.postgresql.geometric.PGpath. Use setObject() with an explicit Types value to specify the type to use.

Here's the table definition:

CREATE TABLE schema.table_name
(
item_id uuid NOT NULL,
item_path path NOT NULL
)

The java entity is representing the item_path field as a List<Point> object, and I'm using a converter to map from the List<Point> object to a PGpath object:

import org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.DatabaseMapping;
import org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.converters.Converter;
import org.eclipse.persistence.sessions.Session;
import org.postgresql.geometric.PGpath;
import java.awt.Point;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import static java.sql.Types.OTHER;

public class PgPathConverter implements Converter
{
@Override
public boolean isMutable ()
{
return false;
}

@Override
public List<Point> convertDataValueToObjectValue (Object value, Session session)
{
// Code that converts PGpath to List<Point>
}

@Override
public PGpath convertObjectValueToDataValue (Object value, Session session)
{
// Code that converts List<Point> to PGpath
}

@Override
public void initialize (DatabaseMapping mapping, Session session)
{
mapping.getField ().setSqlType (OTHER);
}
}

The entity class is defined as follows:

@Entity
@Table (
name = "table_name",
schema = "schema"
)
@Converter (
name = "path",
converterClass = PgPathConverter.class
)
public class TableName
{
public TableName () {}
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

@Column (name = "item_path")
@Convert ("path")
private List<Point> m_ItemPath;

@Id
@Column (
name = "item_id",
unique = true,
nullable = false
)
private UUID m_ItemId;

public UUID getItemId ()
{
return m_ItemId;
}

public List<Point> getItemPath ()
{
return m_InkPath;
}

public void setItemId (UUID itemId)
{
m_ItemId = itemId;
}

public void setInkPath (List<Point> itemPath)
{
m_ItemPath = itemPath;
}
}

Finally, here's the exception I get when I call `EntityManager.persist (entity)`:

I've manually entered some data into table to see if I could successfully pull data from the table using EclipseLink. Now the convertDataValueToObjectValue method in my Converter throws the following exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.postgresql.geometric.PGpath cannot be cast to org.postgresql.geometric.PGpath

Turns out that it was a problem with how I had configured my application in JBoss. I had multiple copies of the jdbc driver jar, one in the deployed EAR file and one in the JBoss container. This was causing confusion because each jar was being loaded by a separate ClassLoader. Java identifies the class by its full name AND the ClassLoader.

Since I had already added the driver jar as a module to the JBoss server, I needed to remove the driver jar from the deployed EAR and set a dependency to the module that was in the JBoss server.
