lack of time

mapping does not work

must be (see EXT:extbase/ext_typoscript_setup.txt):

config.tx_extbase.persistence.classes {
         Tx_Groupmembers_Domain_Model_Member {
                 mapping {
                         columns {
                               tx_groupmembers_number.mapOnProperty = number
                         }
                 }
         }
}
