how to map blob <--> java.lang.String (was: AW: how to map textarea -> intake field __ -> column-type blob)

[Marc Lustig <ma...@marclustig.com>]

[sorry, I just posted this with a wrong subject]

Problem is well known: Torque maps type="BLOB" to byte[]

What would be the easiest way to cause Torque to map it against String
instead of byte[] ?

Otherwise the only solution would be to create additional get/setter with
different names and map from String <-> byte[].
