Maxim Solodovnik created OPENJPA-2973:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Converter instantiated reflectively, skips CDI and nulls
                 Key: OPENJPA-2973
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2973
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: jpa
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0
            Reporter: Maxim Solodovnik
             Fix For: 4.2.0


Discussion thread: https://github.com/apache/openjpa/pull/144#discussion_r3683003654


**(low)** Two questions: (1) the converter is instantiated via `getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance()`, bypassing CDI-managed converters (JPA allows converters as CDI beans with injection); (2) why reflection/`findMethod` instead of casting to `jakarta.persistence.AttributeConverter` and calling it directly? Note also the `val == null` short-circuits mean a converter mapping null to a default value is never consulted for nulls.
