I'm creating an entity class which represents a MenuItem. This can have a one-to-one relation with any class implementing SluggableInterface.
As the MenuItem should be able to relate to any SluggableInterface class (existing and future), I cannot specify a normal doctrine relation as there isn't a specific related entity. I've come up with some possible solutions, but they have drawbacks: 1. Create an ObjectReference entity to hold the class name and id of the related object. This class would then have a getObject() method to construct and return the necessary object. *The drawback here is you can't (cleanly, at least) access doctrine from within the entity.* 2. Create an object_reference type to convert the object to a string containing the class name and id. *The issue again is accessing doctrine in the Type class to retrieve the object.* 3. I've not tried this one yet, but create a class listening to doctrine events, then checking for fields with a custom annotation, and do the Object->String and vice-versa conversion there. Before I start investigating #3, does anyone know of a "proper" or alternative way to do this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "doctrine-user" group.
