Hi all,
I would like to know how to specify a nested field using ojb xdoclet.
I have not found in the doc how to do it.
To illustrate my question, I propose the class Address of which the
instances can be nested in different classes, but I have got many
classes that I would like to make embeddable. An Address in this case is
nested in a ContactPerson.
/**
* @ojb.class table="CONTACT_PERSON"
* documentation="The nesting class."
*/
public class ContactPerson implements java.io.Serializable {
/**
* @ojb.field ????
*
*/
protected Address address; /* nested object of a contact person */
protected String name;
protected String firstname;
...
}
/**
* @ojb.class ????
* documentation="The nested class."
*/
public class Address implements java.io.Serializable {
protected String streetName
protected String streetNumber
protected String zip;
...
}
I would like to generate a repository.xml file that includes a mapping
specifying attributes of the nested object. Of course I do not want to
manually edit the generated mapping.
<class-descriptor
class="be.gfdi.business.base.ContactPerson"
table="CONTACT_PERSON"
>
<field-descriptor
name="name"
column="NAME"
jdbc-type="VARCHAR"
/>
...
<field-descriptor
name="address::streetName"
column="STREET_NAME"
jdbc-type="VARCHAR"
/>
<field-descriptor
name="address::streetNumber"
column="STREET_NUMBER"
jdbc-type="VARCHAR"
/>
<field-descriptor
name="address::zip"
column="ZIP_CODE"
jdbc-type="VARCHAR"
/>
Many thanks for your help,
Pierre
