Create entity with property type int fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create JPA entity and add one field of type int (in my example this is the 
"visibility" property.
2. Try to create one instance by sending atom post request, but don't include 
property metadata in the request. For example:
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" 
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices" 
xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata">
  <author>
    <name/>
  </author>
  <title/>
  <content type="application/xml">
    <m:properties>
      <d:name>MyDictionary</d:name>
      <d:sourcelang>English</d:sourcelang>
      <d:visibility>0</d:visibility>
      <d:targetlang>German</d:targetlang>
    </m:properties>
  </content>
</entry>
3.The following error occurs:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set java.lang.Integer field 
com.iandreev.myeasyvoc.entities.Dictionary.visibility to java.lang.String
    sun.reflect.UnsafeFieldAccessorImpl.throwSetIllegalArgumentException(UnsafeFieldAccessorImpl.java:146)

    org.odata4j.producer.jpa.JPAProducer.createEntity(JPAProducer.java:304)
    org.odata4j.producer.resources.EntitiesRequestResource.createEntity(EntitiesRequestResource.java:61)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The request should have succeeded. When I read the odata spec and examples, it 
seems that the property types are not required. Or am I wrong?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.6

Please provide any additional information below.

I tested it with version 0.7 and seems to work, at least for this scenario. I 
will try it out with more field types these days and if it works, I will close 
the issue

Please reopen if this is still a problem.
