Hi Charles,
Not sure why "valueClassName" is null. But I remember EOModeler saving
EOAttributes without the database type and not giving any warning. Maybe
the same happens for Java class? You should probably manually doublecheck
the EOModel and see that all attribute properties are set.
In the meantime I will file a bug in Cayenne, and will add a fix that
would create an (invalid) Cayenne attribute in such case, instead of
blowing with NPE. Hopefully I can do it this weekend.
BTW, CayenneModeler can only read EOModels, but can't save the changes
them in EOModel format, only in cayenne format (though saving is probably
easy to add). Is reading enough for what you are doing?
