Re: Embedded collections of non-PC objects

JPOX persists collections of non-PC's in a join table. Is there a join table

Are you expecting us to create some massive BLOB column and dump all of the 
collection into that ? because we don't support that currently, and I don't 
have any requests from users to do such a thing (since querying of the 
elements would be getting close to impossible).

 

Hi Andy,

Yup, that's the general idea.  We create the BLOB column in the schema.  
We are testing cases where these collections are embedded-element=true, 
embedded-element=false, and default (also not embedded).  We have join 
tables for the non-embedded fields and columns in a table for the 
embedded fields.
