[Middlegen-user] error with new BigDecimal(BigDecimal)

[K C Lau]

I tried the samples in Middlegen-2.0-b1 on Windows 2000, JBoss 3.0.0 and Sun jdk 1.3.1_04-b02.
It ran fine with hsqldb. Thanks for this impressive product.

I then tried the samples with an Oracle 8.1.7 database with already existing tables.

Compilation fails on many generated action classes during Compile-web with:

compile-web:
Overriding previous definition of reference to compile.class.path
    [javac] Compiling 1054 source files to C:\middlegen-2.0-b1\samples\build\classes
    [javac] C:\middlegen-2.0-b1\samples\build\gen-src\airline\web\struts\DeleteAmTJobAction.java:60: cannot resolve symbol
    [javac] symbol  : constructor BigDecimal  (java.math.BigDecimal)
    [javac] location: class java.math.BigDecimal
    [javac]       java.math.BigDecimal amTJob_PK = new java.math.BigDecimal(jobId);

The generated source is typically:

   public ActionForward perform(
      ActionMapping mapping,
      ActionForm form,
      HttpServletRequest request,
      HttpServletResponse response
   )
      throws IOException, ServletException {

      // Create a primary key to look up
      java.math.BigDecimal jobId = new java.math.BigDecimal(getParameter(request, "jobId"));

      java.math.BigDecimal amTJob_PK = new java.math.BigDecimal(jobId);

job_id  is defined as integer not null in the AmTJob table.

This problem does not seem to have been reported.

BTW, I could not download the CVS source using WinCVS as per the instruction on the download page:

cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/middlegen login

Am I missing something here? Which modulename should I use if I could eventually login?

Thanks,
KC Lau.
