I am very new to Hibernate and Java, we are converting our system from RPG based to Java based. What i need help with is taking a checkbox field from the screen, and putting the value into the char field of the file. The software package we are using has the command copyDtoToEntity and copyEntityToDto. The entity has the field as a field size 1 char, the Dto is a checkbox.

castEntity.setOwnerRequest(castDto.getOwnerRequest()); this line of code gives the error

The method setOwnerRequest(FixedString) in the type PolWithLettWorkFrom is not applicable for the arguments (boolean)

PolWithLettWorkFrom is my entity.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
