Description Pascal Filion CLA 2010-12-14 15:12:32 EST 
Build Identifier: 2.2.0.v20101201-r8590

Based on JPA 2.0 spec, section 4.8.6, page 165, Double takes precedence, then Float, BigDecimal, BigInteger, etc. But in BasicTypeHelperImpl.extendedBinaryNumericPromotion(), BigDecimal takes precedence over Double, then BigInteger (if the other number is not Float). So the promotion is not the same as what the spec says.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go and look at the code in BasicTypeHelperImpl
