I've used extended types to implement enumerations (essentially -- but mine
had a lot more oomph behind it), but these were all integer/string values,
not blobs. My implementation of that is on the Cayenne Wiki, but I wrote it
for Java 1.4 and a co-worker had trouble with it working under Java 1.5, but
I haven't explored it yet. I'm not sure if it would help you, but it might
be worth looking at (since the code shows how to read/write the types -- do
the translation).
