@Entity(name="Employee")
@Table(name="CMP3_FA_EMPLOYEE")
@ObjectTypeConverters({
  @ObjectTypeConverter(
    name="sex",
    dataType=String.class,
    objectType=org.eclipse.persistence.testing.models.jpa.fieldaccess.advanced.Employee.Gender.class,
    conversionValues={
      @ConversionValue(dataValue="F", objectValue="Female"),

To define multiple object type converts in the eclipselink-orm.xml file, simply create a list of multiple <object-type-converter> elements.
