As a side issue on documentation. I read this article on how to use
anonymous keys and I was left totally at a loss on what the associated code
should loook like. Maybe a little example would be useful.


put it on my todo-list ;-) Thanks!

Hi Matthias,

for 1:1 relation OJB has a feature called 'anonymous key'
http://db.apache.org/ojb/howto-use-anonymous-keys.html

<field-descriptor
         name="refFK"
         column="REF_FK"
         jdbc-type="INTEGER"
         access="anonymous" />

Thus you don't need to declare the FK in your class, only in metadata
and DB.

For single JVM 2-tier (no serialized persistent capable objects)
projects it is possible use this concept for other fields too (not only
1:1 references) - again, only in this case (OJB use in a object identity
based map for these anonymous fields).

regards,
Armin

Hi there,

we are coming from j2ee-cmp and want to change to another o/r-mapping
tool (perhaps ojb).
In the Documentation i read, that i have to declare the foreign key as
an extra member of my class, if i want to use a reference to the other
class.
Is this necessary? I came from EJB-CMP/CMR. There is no need to declare
the foreign keys as class members. This is declared in the deployments
descriptors and the mapping-definitions in the application servers. IS
there a workaround to avoid the definition of foreign key class members?

regards
Matthias
