JDBC Data Sources: Potential Issue with JDeveloper 10.1.3.4

Question

I think I found a bug or issue with the latest JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 release when using JDBC Data Sources on the Embedded OC4J container.
To state the issule bluntly, If I use a JDBC Data Source in an ADF Faces application, I get the following error on the screen when I run my application if I create a simple page using a Form layout for database data:

Or if I use a simple drag and drop ADF Faces Table:
javax.faces.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Error testing property '<<FIRST_FIELD_ON_THE_PAGE>>' in bean of type null

I also tried this on a different computer using a fresh install of JDeveloper just to make sure that the copy of JDeveloper that I downloaded didn't have a fluke in it.
Thanks!

M. Ruston,
It must be something on your side. i just tried the same thing using the employees table from the HR sample schema (it has a date column). It works with JDBC URL and datasource both.
Just out of curiosity - if you look at the properties for your Business Components project at the business components section, what does it show for the SQL Flavor and Type Map?
