Can't get past it. Relates to use of identity and a Base class from
which I derive all classes.
This is a continuation of a mapping excercise i started a week ago. I
am using RC2 version of Castor for the purposes of marshaling a map of
Integer/Address Object.
With keith's help, i got the Map working by insuring that the collection
of objects preceded the references.
Now as i move forward and add a few items i'm finding that i'm getting
problems when i mix extended classes with identity.
Problem statement.
I basically have 4 objects
Party (abstract class) contains a Mapped collection of Addresses
by Reference
Business (derived from Party)
Address (contains address information)
I was able to get this to work properly, but now i have introduced a
base class for all of the above obects
called "BusinessObject" It is very small, has only 2 or 3 methods.
So, now Party and Address are derived from BusinessObject
Below is a mapping file that works. Notice that i do not specify that
Address is derived from BusinessObject and I place the 2 fields of
interest in Address Mapping that is defined in BusinessObject.
Everything works fine. But as soon as I add
extended="com.trivin.bo.BusinessObject" to Address (and remove the
fields related to BusinessObject) thus virtually making no logical
change to it i get the following error:
Unable to resolve ID for instance of class 'com.trivin.bo.party.Address'
due to the following error: No identity descriptor available
