Re: [castor-dev] changing castor jdo mapping file

[Werner Guttmann]

Steffen,

top of my memory, once you've made the changes to jdo-conf.xsd, you'll need to (selectively) run this XML Schema instance through the SourceGenerator and have a new Database.java generated. Copy this file to the org.exolab.castor.jdo.conf package, and look for (I believe) DatabaseRegistry.java (though I am not sure, to be honest), and look around for some code that deals with the Database element.

Hi!

I am trying to add a property (i.e. an attribut) to the database element of the database config file (database.xml), e.g.

<database name="mydb" engine="generic" timeout="111">

I was successful in rebuilding the jars but Castor did not seem to read the value from the config file.

What I did was:

- extend the Database class in the org.exolab.castor.jdo.conf package for an attribute timeout with public getters and setters
- add that attribute to the files jdo-conf.dtd and jdo-conf.xsd in the same package

Can anyone tell what else I will have to do. Obviously I do not really understand how the properties are read.

Cheers,

Steffen
