  I think I may have found my own answer.

  I was creating the value in the two numeric fields by using:

  protected double NUMERIC_VALUE = 0.00d;

  then,

  obj.setNumericfield( new BigDecimal( NUMERIC_VALUE ) );

  When I changed the setter statement to:

  obj.setNumericfield( new BigDecimal("0.00"));

  it started working.

  I didn't think that creating a BigDecimal with a double would cause a numeric overflow,

  but it appears that was the issue.

  BTW, we're using JDK 1.6, with JBoss 5.1.0.
