Hi, First, I hope that this is the correct forum for posting questions, so sorry if it isn't.
I have an external list of classes that I would like to match against the persistent classes that are defined/identified by OpenJPA. I would really like to get the ClassMetaData for each one, since it has a lot of information that I could use. This intersection happens after the EntityManagerFactory has been created. I have tried using:ClassMetaData[] classMetaDatas = emf.getConfiguration().getMetaDataRepositoryInstance().getMetaDatas(); But it seems like the meta data repository and ClassMetaData information are lazily loaded (i.e. when some operation is performed on a Class, the relevant meta data is fetched if not found in cache). So, what I get is an empty array (even though I can see the OpenJPA identified the classes). I wonder how I would be able to get all the class meta data? Something that I was thinking about is since I have the list of classes that I would like to check if they are persistent, I could call: getMetaData(Class cls, ClassLoader envLoader, boolean mustExist), with Thread context class loader and false in mustExists. I am guessing that it will load the ClassMetaData if not found. My main problem here is that OpenJPA might be configured with a different class loader (though it defaults to the thread context one). Any suggestions? p.s. I am the author of Compass, so once I have this nailed down, we will have Search capabilities to OpenJPA ;) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Getting-all-the-ClassMetaDatas-tf2905426.html#a8116958 Sent from the open-jpa-dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
