[jpa-dev] Using UUID primary key with JPA 3.1 on PostgreSQL

[Maarten Mulders <maarten@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, so feel free to redirect me 
if my question is not in the right place.

While upgrading a sample app from Jakarta EE 9 to Jakarta EE 10, I was 
looking forward to using JPA 3.1. In the announcements, I read that I 
should be able to use UUID types directly, without custom converters or 
such.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it to work. Now, I am in doubt if 
what I found is a scenario that is not supposed to work, or a bug. If 
it's not supposed to work, I'd love to learn *why*. If it's a bug, I 
found there's a relatively simple way I believe it could be fixed [2].

I'd love to hear your opinions about this issue!

Thanks in advance,


Maarten
