Hi all,
while preparing metadata test files for refactored "super"-reference
inheritance (classes mapped "on multiple joined tables") I stumbled
across a bug.
When insert objects using multiple joined tables OJB first insert the
base object and then copy the PK's of the base object to all sub-class
objects. Thus when using "multiple joined tables"-inheritance only the
base class should declare the PK's as autoincrement values (thereby it
should work with identity column based PK's too). This part
work without problems.
The consequence is that all "new" sub-class objects will have null
PK-fields till they will be inserted. This will cause problems with the
Identity objects of the persistence capable objects, because Identity
objects base on (the top-level class and) the PK values of the
persistence capable objects (all sub-class objects have 'null' PK's till
insert). But the odmg-implementation needs Identity for all "new"
objects before insert of the objects. This could affect all API's using
some kind of "unit of work" (ODMG, OTM?, JDO?), the PB-api should not be
affected.
Thus we need different kinds of Identity objects - Identity for
persistent objects and Identity for transient objects. A solution for
all transient objects will be to generate a "transient Identity" object
and after insert these transient Identity objects will be discarded and
replaced by a persistent Identity objects.
Currently I try to implement such a solution.
regards,
Armin
