Bidirectional associations support ---------------------------------- Key: IBATIS-427 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATIS-427 Project: iBatis for Java Issue Type: New Feature Components: SQL Maps Affects Versions: 2.3.0 Reporter: Andrew Bethell
(Added this issue as a new feature, as I cannot find any documentation or instructions on how to implement this with iBATIS.) I have the same requirements described here : http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00962.html - in a nutshell I have an 'Order' object which contains a List of 'OrderItem' objects (lazy loaded), but I want the OrderItems to contain references back to the parent 'Order' object (also using a lazy-load property). At the moment iBATIS runs into an infinite loop when I try this (StackOverflowError), and from reading the email thread I mentioned above - it seems like this functionality is not implemented. However, this discussion thread here - http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=34028#171643 - has a comment from one of the iBATIS developers claiming that circular references are supported - "Resolves circular references - iBATIS solves circular references the same way O/R broker does...with a cache. But yes, you do have to configure the cache in iBATIS for this to work." I had a quick go at configuring caching with ibatis, but it didnt seem to change anything. Can anyone shed any light on this issue? Thanks. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
