Hossam Karim commented on IBATIS-427: ------------------------------------- It's been 2 years , come on > 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/user-j...@ibatis.apache.org/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.
