Hi Geert,

First I want to thank you for your answers to my post about using toplink with RIFE.

I have another question regarding the constraints defined in my java object. If I already have my database created before using RIFE/CRUD, do I still need to specify the schema as constraints in my java object? I understand that those relationship constraints have to be specified in order to create the site structure. But for other constraints, like whether it's a valid data, I think we should not have to if we choose not, we can ask database to validate for us and the framework can catch the exceptions and display the page back ( I know this is not a good design , we should do as much validation as possible before we pass data to database call, it's only for prototyping usage of the framework).

based on my testing. If I remove a constraint for a particular column, this column will not be showed up on the page. Is this by design? I though we should display the fields based on the private data fields defined in the java objects. Are you concerning that developers may put extra data field into the object that not corresponding to any columns in the table?


Thank you very much  in advance

Jing
