I have (finally) committed the code for EJB 2.0 CMR fields. It took longer than I thought mainly because Marc's update of the entity interceptor code showed me a major flaw in my implementation when there is more then one concurrent transaction. Anyway, it's in and you can start to play with it now. I will follow up with quick docs later. Here are some notes for now: 1. All relation types in spec should work. I built a test suite based on the test in the specification. 2. Relationships don't eager load (read-ahead). I think I will add this in the EJB-QL phase, as EJB-QL will have the same problem. 3. There are two mapping styles: table and foreign key. You specify which style in the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml file as follows: <relationships> <ejb-relation> <ejb-relation-name>AB_OneToMany_Bi_Table</ejb-relation-name> <mapping-style>table</mapping-style> <table-name>AB_OneToManyBi</table-name> </ejb-relation> <ejb-relation> <ejb-relation-name>AB_OneToMany_Bi_FK</ejb-relation-name> <mapping-style>foreign-key</mapping-style> </ejb-relation> </relationships> 4. You can't currently override the names and other info of relation columns. I will add the configuration code soon. 5. I added code to bind the local home into jndi (I needed it for testing). Remember relationships are only allowed between local interfaces. Just add local-jndi-name element to the entity element in the jboss.xml. An example follows: <entity> <ejb-name>B_ManyToOne_Uni_Table_EJB</ejb-name> <local-jndi-name>relation/manyToOne/unidirectional/table/B</local-jndi-name> </entity> 6. I implemented the relationships with an invocation interceptor (it was necessary). See JDBCRelationInterceptor in the org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.jdbc. In the future, the interceptor could be made more generic for other persistence managers, but for now the code is too new to do.
