Re: simple string[]

[Bobby Lawrence]

Thanx Dave, but the emails are not stored as comma seperated values in 
the database.
They have a seperate table:
person_id int, email varchar
I need to map the table.  I will try to play w/ the FieldConversions...

Having a little difficulty w/ this...
How would I map a collection or array of Strings in a class?
I have a person object and I have a member variable called "emails" 
that is a String[] type.
How would I set up my class-descirptor to get this to work without 
having to create a bean to only store the email string?

I would recommend implementing FieldConversion where you store a 
string in the database (e.g. emails separated by commas) and write 
your FieldConversion class to convert between delimited String and 
String[]. Here's the details;
http://db.apache.org/ojb/docu/guides/jdbc-types.html#field-conversion

If you get the OJB code, you can use one of the classes in the 
org.apache.ojb.broker.accesslayer.conversions package as an example 
starting point.
