Simply related to adding in a check to make the JAVA TYPE an Object for nullable fields - was originally only PK/FK. Hopefully someone will look at this and allow an option to have all JAVA TYPES be Objects for CMP20 for those that wish it.

(CMP20 plugin)

Hey all,
This was a kicker to find.  Have a database, it contains a Numeric field
that is NULLable.  Use CMP to connect to a J2EE application but get
NullPointer exceptions during execution.

Instead of defining the Numeric as a java.lang.Integer object in the
Entity Bean, it was defined as an 'int'. public abstract int
getMyNumberField(); public abstract void setMyNumberField(int
myNumberField);

Is there a way to quickly fix this (outside of changing the generated
source code), Then a gameplan to take care of it in the future?  I know
on the J2EE/CMP side you 99% always want Objects in the EntityBean, not
sure on JDO side though. Thanks, I'm suprised no one else has run into
this!

-D
