I don't know if it can help, but we use the IBM Data Access Beans
functionnalities.

In the metadata we declare the SQL Type (e.g DECIMAL) and the java
type we want it to be returned by the resultset (e.g: java.Long)
and the data access bean do the transformation itself.

In this case we can use any kind of java type (Long, Integer, String ...)

Here is an example for inputting parameters
("WEBID", Long.class, java.sql.Types.DECIMAL,
StatementMetaData.PARM_MODE_INPUT)

Where we say that the data access bean will receive a Long and it
has to be transformed to SQL DECIMAL)

This another example describe a column of the result set:
AGENCYCODE", Long.class, java.sql.Types.DECIMAL)

Where the field named AGENCYCODE is of type DECIMAL, but we ask the
data access bean to transform it to a long when it is accessed.

Cheers

Gilles

What object should I use in place of BigDecimal, since the compiler says
it's being deprecated?  ... I know I can turn the warning off, but I figure
there must be a better object for decimal (business) precision, if there
removing the object...


Also, when I retrieve a result set, how do I determine, its was defined on
the as/400 as a character or number, before I read the column.  I'm trying
to populate a spread sheet and want my program to work no matter what table
there reading, so I didn't want to hard code the column values...


Thanks, tim
