Do you do anything interesting in your getters or setters for the
embedded field?

Is that the full stack? What is output if you set the openjpa.Log
property to 'Enhance=TRACE, Tool=TRACE'?

Also, FYI, what you're doing sounds legal, and we do have test cases
that exercise embedded fields, so there must be something odd going
on. Do you have some sample code that you could post?
