Some users are finding the following error message "unfriendly":

[EclipseLink-3001] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 1.1.1.v20090430-r4097): 
org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.ConversionExceptionException Description: 
The object [45!@#6], of class [class java.lang.String], could not be 
converted to [class java.lang.Long].Internal Exception: 
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "45!@#6" 

We could enhance this error message to something like:

Exception [EclipseLink-45041] (Eclipse Persistence Services - @VERSION@.@QUALIFIER@): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.SDOException 
Exception Description: The value [invalidNumber] of class [class java.lang.String] is invalid for property [salary] of type [commonj.sdo#Int]. 
Internal Exception: Exception [EclipseLink-3001] (Eclipse Persistence Services - @VERSION@.@QUALIFIER@): 
org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.ConversionException

java.lang.String], could not be converted to [class java.lang.Integer].
