Title: RE: [castor-dev] newbie question about Persistent interface

Bruce,

 

 

Indeed where is the validation part explained? Calling the validate method on a class will throw a ValidationException nice, but what based on which attribute? Is the exception thrown a soon as the first attribute doesn;t fit? Or is the hole instance validated and a summery of all the incorrect attributes is provided? How can single attributes be validated?

That is not totally correct.
There are very important aspects that have very little
description, and do not have examples.

For instance in the xml mapping, the use of the references
or the use of collections.

For instance I have big difficulty to marshall
/ unmarshall collections of string.
Do I have to use the type="strings", or
collection="array" and type="string", etc.

Basic (validated) examples would be welcome.

Note:
A few months ago, a collegue of mine tried to propose
some guidelines for using references, but our feedback
was not incorporated to the doumentation.
(we are not even sure that we had the correct way to
proceed).
We had spent a lot of time trying to understand how
it was working, and define a small process how to use
it, and we wanting to share our experience
(so that people do not spent the same time as we did,
and as other people have).

Cosyns,

What would you like to see as far as documentation and tutorials?
Please let us know so that we can improve those things.

BTW, there are examples for both Castor JDO and Castor XML in
src/examples.
