My first CMP entity bean and I have some questions. I was wondering if it is possible to do a compound search within the O/R mapping in orion-ejb-jar.xml?
The problem is a field from one table is needed to lookup a field on another table to get the result. Example: Customer has a field called company. The company table has a place for company name. All PKs are integers. In the customer table the company is a pk from the company table. I want to get all of the customer information and use the company pk to look up the company name. How would I have this entity in the orion-ejb-jar.xml file? table = "ATD_CUSTOMER" Example 1: <cmp-field-mapping name="customerID" persistence-name="CUSTOMER_ID" persistence-type="NUMBER" /> <cmp-field-mapping name="firstName" persistence-name="FIRST_NAME" persistence-type="VARCHAR2" /> <cmp-field-mapping name="lastName" persistence-name="LAST_NAME" persistence-type="VARCHAR2" /> <cmp-field-mapping name="company" persistence-name="ATD_COMPANY.NAME" persistence-type="VARCHAR2" /> Example 2: <cmp-field-mapping name="customerID" persistence-name="CUSTOMER_ID" persistence-type="NUMBER" /> <cmp-field-mapping name="firstName" persistence-name="FIRST_NAME" persistence-type="VARCHAR2" /> <cmp-field-mapping name="lastName" persistence-name="LAST_NAME" persistence-type="VARCHAR2" /> <cmp-field-mapping name="company" persistence-name="COMPANY_ID" persistence-type="NUMBER" /> <cmp-field-mapping name="companyName" persistence-name="ATD_COMPANY.NAME" persistence-type="VARCHAR2" /> ===== Jon Bricker "You should never settle for the lesser of two Weasels." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
