How to use Postgres JSONB datatype with JPA?

Question

Im not finding a way to map the JSON and JSONB datatypes from PostgreSQL using JPA (EclipseLink). Is some one using this datatypes with JPA and can give me some working exam

Answer 1

I think I found an analogy to Hibernate's UserType for EclipseLink.

You have to make a class that implements org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.converters.Converter and does the conversion for you, then use the @Convert annotation on every field where you are using that type.
