Add a transform method to the generated DAO to convert associated VO to entity
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SPRING-116
URL: http://jira.andromda.org/browse/SPRING-116
Project: Spring Cartridge
Type: New Feature
Versions: 3.1RC1
Environment: All
Reporter: Inderdeep Dhir
Assigned to: Chad Brandon
The generated DAO interface contains a method to transform from the entity to
an associated value object. However, there is no method added automatically for
the reverse transformation.
A typical scenario is where the update methods on a webservice receive value
objects from the client and the service method invokes the DAO to persist the
changes. Before invoking the DAO, the method needs to transform the VO's into
entities.
Essentially, an operation like the current transform one for VOs but have it do
the opposite for when you transform VOs to entities.
Suggested name for the new method is toEntityName(EntityVO vo) (e.g.
toCar(CarVO vo))
