  NullPointerException when mapping enum field
  
  Yes, when I remove the enum mapping, session is created, but 
  obviously the field is not mapped.
   
  When I comment out <enumerated>STRING</enumerated>, the field is 
  mapped as integer.

  This is very odd. If you remove only the enum 
  mapping, does it work?

    NullPointerException when mapping enum field
    
    Hi
     
    I am getting 
    NullPointerException during EM initialization. I am not using JPA 
    annotations, just mappings file (see attachment).
     
    In my orm.xml 
    file, I have an entity with enum field mapped as 
    <enumerated>STRING</enumerated>. The exception I am getting 
    is:

    I think there 
    might be a bug in EclipseLink as this is working when using EL 
    1.1.0. Thanks.
