I'm trying to read a row in a Postgresql table that has a BYTEA field, using Spring Data JDBC, and it's failing with a Couldn't find PersistentEntity for type byte! MappingException. The method is failing in org.springframework.data.jdbc.core.EntityRowMapper.populateProperties, where it's interpreting byte[] as isCollectionLike and (I suppose) trying to create SQL to read it as a PostgreSQL array of bytes, rather than the blob it is.
There's plenty of examples for how to do this with JPA or manual JdbcTemplate, but the documentation for Spring Data JDBC is less rich. I can't imagine I'm the first one to hit this issue.
