Andrus Adamchik updated CAY-1398:
---------------------------------
Description:
A rather odd case, that nevertheless we should handle:
TABLE1 (PK INT, FK CHAR(1))
TABLE2 (PK CHAR(1));
Class1 (fk : java.lang.Character, class2: Class2)
I.e. a relationship is mapped with FK also being a meaningful attribute, and
attribute type is not a standard JDBC mapping of CHAR(1) column. Depending on
the Class1 entity property iteration order, SelectTranslator builds a result
column either from an "fk" attribute definition (then it is correctly mapped as
java.lang.Character) or from "class2" relationship definition (which will end
up ignoring ObjAttribute and using java.lang.String). Later on when a property
is read from an object, the later case results in ClassCastException (of
java.lang.String into java.lang.Character).
This is almost impossible to test. For the entity in my project, switching
between JDK 1.5 and 1.6 makes all the difference (it fails under 1.5, but this
is really random, dependent on the relationship and attribute relative string
key names).
A quick (and incorrect) fix is to make SelectTranslator.appendQueryColumns(..)
-> "visitRelationship" check for existence of ObjAttribute for the join
DbAttribute to ensure the right type is used. Although this may result in
invalid to-one fault ObjectIds, as the target entity may not have meaningful ID
columns, and the ObjectId derived from FK will not match ObjectId of the target
object fetched directly.
A correct, but significantly deeper fix is to read the same ResultSet column
twice, and put 2 copies in the DataRow: one for meaningful attribute, and one
for generic FK. maybe all "attributeOverrides" in SelectTranslator should
follow this approach (and also other places where we duplicate the same column
in the ResultSet for consistency reasons)
