Copy pc.mylib.PCPoint from application identity but redefine it to use SFI and call them pc.singlefieldidentity.PCPointSingleFieldint pc.singlefieldidentity.PCPointSingleFieldInteger pc.singlefieldidentity.PCPointSingleFieldshort pc.singlefieldidentity.PCPointSingleFieldShort pc.singlefieldidentity.PCPointSingleFieldlong pc.singlefieldidentity.PCPointSingleFieldLong pc.singlefieldidentity.PCPointSingleFieldchar pc.singlefieldidentity.PCPointSingleFieldCharacter pc.singlefieldidentity.PCPointSingleFieldbyte pc.singlefieldidentity.PCPointSingleFieldByte pc.singlefieldidentity.PCPointSingleFieldString The class names are not applicable on Windows systems - due to case insensitivity. I suggest to extend the class name of the pc SFI classes with wrapper types with the word "Wrapper", e.g. "PCPointSingleFieldIntegerWrapper", "PCPointSingleFieldShortWrapper", etc. I suggest using the naming convention that is used in pc.fieldtypes: .PCPointSingleFieldPrimitiveshort .PCPointSingleFieldShort ... Another question: What do you mean with "... redefine ..."? Should I just copy the PC point class 11 times and adapt the type of the primary key fields accordingly? Yes, I believe that's what Craig meant. That's what I meant. The alternative is to use a single class that has all of the types we want and redefine it using the .jdo and .orm metadata files. I just looked at pc.PrimitiveTypes and it has too much in it (the Oid class isn't needed) but it might be used. Whichever is easiest to do...The benefit to defining new classes is that we can run all of the tests with the same schema, .jdo, and .orm files. I don't know that a single class is any easier to implement.
