Hi, 

I suppose the patch will not resolve the problem in hand.  as to the current
problem evaluation Postgresql version 8.3 and beyond has stopped to auto convert
string variables into the appropriate data type of a field.  APLAWS persistence
relies on that feature.

If we decide to switch to Hibernate we would have to do a lot of code modifications
which will break the API. The main goal of release 1.0.5 is to preserve the
current API and runtime system. So Hibernate is not an option, indeed.

Jens, member of our development team at Bremen, will present a paper which analyses
the work we have to do in order to switch to Hibernate. It is a lot of work,
so we have to decide wether we will migrate to Hibernate (and preserve the current
object mapping) or switch to Java Content Repository (modify a lot of the internal
logic).

Therefore, the Postgresql problem should be resolved in Red Hat persistence.
For a developer familiar with the code it shouldn't be an overwhelming task.

Peter
