Hi All,
I've implemented inheritance on multiple tables and it works fine for
inserting data. (see code snippets below)
(ojb is a great initiative and its elegance saves a lot of work!)
However, a problem arose when I tried to query for a dao without knowing
beforehand which type of object I will retrieve;
loading a referenced object always produces base class instances.
I've been looking around the archives and found this thread but the last
post mentioned a work-around by
storing an additional
id
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/BrowseList?listId=107&by=thread&from=899091
Is this regular behavior or am I missing something (I can imagine that
proxy="dynamic" does not work?)
Thanks a lot in advance!
Piet
Explanation:
A source has a type of interaction which can be of a subtype
proteininteraction (in fact it is an inheritance tree of several types).
When querying the source with a proteininteraction for its interactiontype
I always get the base class InteractionTypeInterface retrieved.
I'm using OJB 1.0.3
// Dao's
public class Source
implements SourceInterface
{
private Integer dataid;
private String sourceid;
private InteractionTypeInterface interactiontype;
public Source()
{
targets = new Vector();
interactiontype = new InteractionType();
datatype = new DataType();
origin = new Origin();
}
//getters/setters
}
public class InteractionType implements InteractionTypeInterface, DAOInterface
{
protected Integer interactiontypeid;
protected String interactioninfo;
//getters/setters
}
public class ProteinInteractionType extends InteractionType implements
ProteinInteractionTypeInterface
{
protected String proteininteractioninfo;
//getters/setters
}
// Repository
