Hi Craig, Andy, Erik,
I'm testing a kind of inheritance mapping using strategy "new-table"
where each table contains columns for all fields. Thus, a table of a
subclass contains columns for the declared fields *and* for the fields
of all superclasses, e.g. this is the orm metadata of classes
"Insurance" and "DentalInsurance":
<orm>
<package name="org.apache.jdo.tck.pc.company">
...
<class name="Insurance" table="insuranceplans">
<inheritance strategy="new-table"/>
<field name="insid" column="INSID" primary-key="true"/>
<field name="carrier" column="CARRIER"/>
<field name="employee" column="EMPLOYEE">
<foreign-key/>
</field>
</class>
<class name="DentalInsurance" table="dentalinsurance">
<inheritance strategy="new-table">
<join column="INSID"/>
</inheritance>
<field name="insid" column="INSID" primary-key="true"/>
<field name="carrier" column="CARRIER"/>
<field name="employee" column="EMPLOYEE">
<foreign-key/>
</field>
<field name="lifetimeOrthoBenefit"
column="LIFETIME_ORTHO_BENEFIT"/>
</class>
...
</package>
</orm>
The Completeness test throws an exception applying this mapping
("org.jpox.metadata.InvalidMetaDataException: Class
org.apache.jdo.tck.pc.company.DentalInsurance has field
org.apache.jdo.tck.pc.company.DentalInsurance.carrier declared in
MetaData, but this field doesnt exist in the class!").
My question: Is this a valid mapping, if fields of superclasses are
repeated in the orm metadata of subclasses?
Regards,
Michael
