Description

When an entity with List[] attribute feeds to Annotation processor, it failed with the following exception:

Sample entity used to recreate the problem:

@Entity
public class EntityLob {

....
private List<String>[] entityLob_lob08;

public EntityLob() {
}

public List<String>[] getEntityLob_lob08()

{ return entityLob_lob08; }

public void setEntityLob_lob08(List<String>[] l)

{ this.entityLob_lob08 = l; }

}

Issue Links

• is related to: OPENJPA-2025 Byte[] and Char[] should be treated as SingularAttributes, not lists by the metamodel generator
• is related to: OPENJPA-2027 Metamodel genereated at runtime expects ListAttribute for all arrays - not just PersistentCollections.
