Hi Stefan,
No problem. My company is currently looking into running a project
based on RIFE, so hopefully I will be able to contribute to RIFE
more in the not-too-distant future. Maybe in the form of a sibling
project or by helping with the Eclipse integration or something
like that. Oh, that would be fun. ;)
That sounds all very interesting :-)
Please note that I'm not the big expert in persistence, so I may
be totally wrong in every regard. But on the other hand, maybe
this provides some ideas to make persistence easier in RIFE. I
did not look at RIFE constraints in-depth yet, but from what I
saw, references to other objects are more complex than in this
example.
One thing I'm wondering about is the loading of the object
references. Does Ammentos automatically load all the references to
other objects? Does it do so recursively?
Ammentos has this class:
public class EntityList<T> extends ArrayList<T> implements
EntityCollection
This class has a method called "touch()" that is called whenever
something in the list is accessed. It checks whether the list (and
all objects in it) is already in memory. If it isn't, the method
load() gets called and loads all objects in the list.
Interesting, this sounds like a nice solution for collections of one-
to-many associations. However, how do you handle one-to-one
associations? Are the always loaded?
Best regards,
Geert
