Description

When entering an Embeddable in Cayenne Modeler:

If on the ObjEntity/Attribute tab, you add an attribute and type in the ObjAttribute and Java Type directly, the project will fail to validate with a missing DbAttribute error.

If on the ObjEntity/Attribute tab, you add an attribute and then inspect the new attribute and select the Embeddable from the pulldown of types, the project will pass validation.

The model/XML is actually different between the two options (the first shown here is when doing it the "correct" way):

mrg@apad:~/Projects$ diff WobberyDomainMap.map.xml*
88c88
< <embedded-attribute name="settings" type="net.wobbery.entity.MatchSettings"/>
—
> <obj-attribute name="settings" type="net.wobbery.entity.MatchSettings"/>
