Re: [castor-dev] Question regarding sub-objects...

[Gregory Block]

Does anyone have a way to do this?

I'm looking to do sub-object selection, where the object is accessed 
as...

class Location {
        getLocationMapping()
        setLocationMapping(LocationMapping lm)
}
class LocationMapping {
        getURL()
        setURL(String urlToSet)
}
with a mapping that does...

<field name="LocationDetails.url" get-method="getURL" 
set-method="setURL">
	<bind-xml name="url"/>
</field>

... won't work, because it's looking for getURL and setURL on the wrong 
object; even though I've specified the sub-object.

Is this a bug, a misfeature, or am I not doing something correctly?  
Nothing clear in the documentation on how it should behave, or whether 
it should or should not work.

                        <bind-xml name="parent-location" 
type="wow-types:location-type"/>
                </field>
                <field name="LocationDetails.displayAddress">
                        <bind-xml name="address"/>
                </field>
                <field name="LocationDetails.url" get-method="getURL" 
set-method="setURL">
                        <bind-xml name="url"/>
                </field>
                <field name="LocationDetails.phone">
                        <bind-xml name="tel"/>
                </field>
                <field name="LocationDetails.fax">
                        <bind-xml name="fax"/>
                </field>
                <field name="LocationDetails.email">
                        <bind-xml name="email"/>
                </field>
	</class>

Now, I appear to get the correct behavior for phone, fax, and e-mail - 
those fields aren't, at least, reporting any grave errors.  However, 
LocationDetails.url isn't reachable; no matter what I do, it insists 
on looking in the Location object for the getURL() and setURL() calls.

Anyone have any idea how I can convince it to look at the sub-object?
