[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OJB-36?page=comments#action_64118 ] Bobby Lawrence commented on OJB-36: -----------------------------------
Typo --- I didn't want to sound like I didn't know what the hell I was talking about... Auto-update tells OJB to insert OR update a reference or collection when its parent is inserted or updated. ;-) > auto-insert attribute of reference/collection descriptor > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OJB-36 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OJB-36 > Project: OJB > Type: Improvement > Components: PB-API > Versions: 1.0.3 > Environment: Windows XP Pro, Java 1.4.2 > Reporter: Bobby Lawrence > > Currently , there are "auto-retrieve", "auto-update" and "auto-delete" > attributes for reference/collection descriptors. Auto-retrieve tells OJB to > retrieve a reference or collection when its parent is instantiated. > Auto-delete tells OJB to delete a reference or collection when its parent is > deleted (much like cascade-delete). Auto-update tells OJB to insert OR > update a reference or collection when its parent is inserted or deleted. > I would like to see an "auto-insert" attribute. Basically break out the > logic from "auto-update" into an "auto-insert" and an "auto-update". The > "auto-insert" would tell OJB to insert the reference when its parent is > updated or inserted. The "auto-update" would tell OJB to update the > reference when its parent is updated or inserted. > The current way causes some headache it seems. > I have a WAR that uses OJB for its backend. > Say I have a Person object that contains a reference to an Organization > object. In the repository.xml, auto-update is set to "object". Basically, > if the Organization doesn't exist, I want OJB to add it. If it exists > alreay, I don't want OJB to do anything. > Say I have a JSP where a user can update the Organization of the Person. I > want to display all the organizations in a select box with the OrganizationId > as the value to pass to the next step. Now, in the next step, if I don't > lookup the Organization for that id, but just call PBroker.store(Person w/ > Organization that only has id), OJB will update the organization table for > that organization id and set all the other fields to null. > It would be nice if I could tell OJB to insert when it needs to and update > when it needs to.
