Hi Vincent!
You get something similiar if you make the address also a CMP bean. Then
User.Address will store the reference to the address bean. (And yes, I
can hear a lot of people screaming right now, that this is not the way
EJBs should be used. But a lot of people do :-) ).
But probably thats not the way you want it. Just to make sure I
understand what you are looking for:
The address object is dependant on the User object. At the moment such
an object just gets serialized and stored as a BLOBs (like I pointed out
earlier). You would like JAWS to map the properties of a dependant
object like the property of the "master" object itself. This should
theoretically be possible since there is only 0 or 1 object stored in
the reference. I think at the moment JAWS is not capable of doing this.
I want do dive into the JAWS code myself in the future since I need
support for arrays. Maybe I could add this. What about you ? Do you have
some spare time ?
Greetings,
Tobias
