[transfer-dev] Oracle timestamp field

2009-05-08 Thread pedrobl


Hi!

I'm using the last version of transfer (today), with coldbox (2.6.3),
and with an Oracle 10g database. I use several tables that have a
Modified TIMESTAMP field. This field gets updated with the current
timestamp everytime a record is modified using a trigger in the
database.

The problem is that my model uses a Date field, and when a record is
instantiated to the java object, I get a jdbc error saying the
following:

coldfusion.runtime.Cast$DateConversionException: The value class
oracle.sql.TIMESTAMP could not be converted to a date.

Any suggestions? TIA,

Pedro.

[transfer-dev] Re: Oracle timestamp field

2009-05-08 Thread pedrobl


Hi Mark,

Thanks for your feedback. The Modified TIMESTAMP field is just a
field of type TIMESTAMP, similar to a date field, that gets updated
with the current time when the record is updated. I needed two fields
DateCreated and DateModified than would store the creation and
modification dates for every record.

I've finally solved the issue using DATE fields, that also store the
time, and don't have problems when cast to java Date objects. If
anyone is interested, I'll post both triggers that insert the correct
dates in both fields.

Thanks for the help,

Pedro.

 Pedro, what is a

 Modified TIMESTAMP field. ?

 If it's updated with a trigger, you probably want to use ignore-insert, and
 ignore-update, and then do a refresh-insert, and refresh-update, to update
 the value.

 Have a look at the property documentation 
 here:http://docs.transfer-orm.com/wiki/Transfer_Configuration_File.cfm#pro...

[transfer-dev] Re: manytoone relationships in lists

2009-05-29 Thread pedrobl


Thanks to all for the answers.

I have a couple of basic questions though... In the FAQs, in the
question on the differences of oneToMany and ManyToOne relationships,
it says that the objects in both sides of the relation are visible to
each other.

My problem is that when generating a LIST of objects (Orders) with a
ManyToOne relationship (with Users), I cannot access any information
on the ToOne part of the relationship. i.e. When I get a list of
Orders, I cannot access any info of the related User objects... Is
this correct? Is this the way it's supposed to work?

I guess what I need to do is: in the method called to get the list
(dspOrders), use a TQL to retrieve the fields I need using the
transfer.ListByQuery method... right?

Thanks again for your help,

Pedro.

[transfer-dev] SOLVED: manytoone relationships in lists

2009-05-29 Thread pedrobl


Thanks again to everyone. I leave my last questions opened, but I
solved the issue, and learnt a little more about transfer :P

I solved it by using the transfer.listByQuery method instead of the
default transfer.list. Taking the objects described before, this is
the code:
...
cfset var myQuery = getTransfer().createQuery(from sp.Order join
sp.User) /
cfset var orders = getTransfer().listByQuery(myQuery) /
...

And then, in the view I have all properties from the Order (Name) and
the User (Username) objects.

Thanks all for the rapid response, and the good tips! CU!

Pedro.

[transfer-dev] Order case sensitivity

2009-08-12 Thread pedrobl


Hi!

I'm using transfer with Oracle as the data backend, and I've come
across an annoying problem when sorting. I have a few text fields
defined in a table, and I'd like to sort by those fields but with case
in-sensitivity. An example:

Current order:
MARS ATTACKS
MORE DATA
Mars attacks
man on the moon

Desired order:
man on the moon
MARS ATTACKS
Mars attacks
MORE DATA

Usually this is accomplished by issuing an ORDER BY LOWER(title) in
SQL, but that's not available in TQL

Any ideas, recommendations. I can solve this by adding a view, but
it'd be perfect if transfer has something available on this.

TIA,

Pedro.

I already had all I needed... and a little more. I was actually making
the mistake described on this page:

http://docs.transfer-orm.com/wiki/Same_foreign_key_for_a_manytoone_and_a_onetomany.cfm

So I removed the m2o relation from my relations' objects, the
PersonOrg mentioned in previous messages. To show the org info when
showing a Person object (org name, acronym, etc), with its list
(getPersonOrgArray) of related PersonOrg records (Role), I used the
getParentOrg method available at the many end of the o2m relation
Org-PersonOrg... works like a charm, and I think it loads faster
also!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction... I owe you one ;)

[transfer-dev] Re: manytomany... not quite

2009-09-04 Thread pedrobl

Hi Matt!

Actually, trying to save the object PersonOrg still throws a
duplicate column name error :( I thought that it was fixed because I
configured a copy of the original object PersonOrgPlain in
transfer.xml with no relation to Person or Org, and was saving this
kind of object.

What works better is the view of the Person page with the list of
related Orgs and Projects. I guess there's no way of saving objects
that are the end of a o2m relation, because they will always have an
extra foreignKeyId field...

I'd like to have all the relationship Object's data management within
the same configuration, but I can live with duplicating the objects
that deal with m2m relations for now... I'd like to find a more
elegant solution, from the data model's design and coding perspective
though.

Any suggestions apart from overwriting the generated methods in the
PersonOrg objects? TIA,

Pedro.

[transfer-dev] removemanytoone and cascadeDelete

2009-10-14 Thread pedrobl


Hi!

I'm using transfer 1.1 with an application on Coldbox. Mi model:

- Person (name, countryId): many2one with Country, one2Many with
PersonOrg.
- Org (name, countryId): many2one with Country, one2Many with
PersonOrg.
- PersonOrg (personId, orgId, role): role can be 'staff', 'contact',
'interested', etc.
- Country (name, countryId)

The problem: I'd like to be able to delete an organisation, and its
relations with persons, but not the persons themselves, and neither
the country. i.e. all records from PersonOrg related to the
Organisation. If I try cascadeDelete, all objects related to the
organisations will be deleted PersonOrg and Country.

I read in the documentation about removemanytoone... and I thought it
was what I needed! I could remove the link between Country and
Organisation before doing the cascadeDelete... right?

Transfer responds with The method removemanytooneCountry was not
found :(

Am I missing something? Do I need to manually delete all related
one2many objects?

TIA,

Pedro.

 Ok, first of all, just to reiterate, you cannot use an o2m on two objects

Sorry but I guess this onetomany relation is a little confusing. I
have checked some of the coldbox sample applications, as well as
codexwiki, and I think I'm beginning to understand... it's taking me a
while, I know :P

I have a question before I begin re-designing my transfer model. In
the docs, more specifically in the FAQ:

http://docs.transfer-orm.com/wiki/Should_I_use_ManyToMany,_or_two_OneToMany_compositions.cfm

It says: Use two OneToMany compositions with a common child when your
child object is a business object with its own state. If the
association table holds nothing but the two foreign keys, use
ManyToMany.

My case is the former, my linking tables have their own state and it's
the end of two one2many relationships, from two different objects. If
this is not the correct way of having a state-full linking table,
which is?

 Secondly, you will want to call removeCountry() on the object, and not
 removemanytooneCountry().

 Hopefully that will be enough to get you moving forward again.  :-)

As always, thanks for your help... and for your wiki ;)

[transfer-dev] Modify (move) relationships

2009-11-28 Thread pedrobl

Hi!

I have an organisation object with two o2m relations person and
projects. In order to eliminate duplicates, I need to move the related
persons and projects from one organisation to another.

Is there an easy way to do this with transfer? I use two linking
tables org_person, and org_project to store the relation between them,
and also stores other information like the person's role (staff,
contact, administrator, etc...), or the initial and end date for the
relation. I'd like to move those relationships unchanged, just to move
them from organisation A to organisation B.

In SQL this would be trivial to do by just updating the organisation
FK from organisation A, to organisation B in the org_person table.

I'd like to avoid looping through the org_person structure to modify
each org_person.OrgId from one organisation to the other, as I'd need
to create the organisation objects.

Can this be achieved in one shot? Something like:

cfset org1persons = org1.getPersonsStruct() /

[transfer-dev] Re: Modify (move) relationships

Sean,

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, the organisations and persons are
not related directly. This is my transfer.xml file:

  property name=Role type=string nullable=false column=ROLE /

  property name=StartDate type=date nullable=true
column=START_DATE /
  property name=EndDate type=date nullable=true
column=END_DATE /
/object

As I need to have many roles per person and organisation, i.e. a many-
to-many relation between organisations and persons with extra data in
the linking table.

I'd like to append the OrgPerson Struct that belongs to Organisation
2, to the Organisation 1 that replaces it. Something like:

cfset org1persons = org1.getPersonsStruct() /
cfset org2persons = org2.getPersonsStruct() /
cfset StructAppend(org1persons, org2persons, true) /
cfset org1.setPersonsStruct(org1persons) /

I'd like to avoid looping through all org2persons struct members. Is
your commendation something like the following?

cfloop collection=#org2persons# item=OrgPersonId 
  cfset orgpersons[OrgPersonId].setParentOrganization(org1) /
/cfloop

TIA,

Pedro.

[transfer-dev] Re: empty string is persisted in field where nullable=false

Hi Dennis, thanks for your help.

 Null values in Transfer are covered in the wiki:

I had read the docs, but obviously didn't fully understand the
consequences.

 If you have nullable=true for a property and you set the property to an
 empty string, the corresponding column will be set to NULL on save. When you
 read the column back, the property is populated with an empty string.

 If you have nullable=false for a property and you set the property to an
 empty string, the corresponding column will be set to an empty string on
 save. When you read the column back, the property is populated with an empty
 string.

Thanks again, it now makes sense. I had always taken them as some kind
of validation... :P

 If you want to be able store both NULLs and empty strings in the same
 column...

Actually, I want the field NOT to be null. I have already solved the
issue just by not validating the object when the field is empty. But I
have another problem which I'll post in another thread.

 Does that make sense?

Perfect sense :)

[transfer-dev] Dirty read problem

2010-08-17 Thread pedrobl

I'm having an issue where a user edits an object that does not get
validated, and then another user, in another computer, requests that
object's data and receives the invalid data, with the isDirty flag
set.

It probably has to do with the cache, so just in case this is transfer
cache configuration:
objectCachedefaultcache
scope type=instance /
/defaultcache/objectCache

 And coldbox's (2.6.4) relevant configuration:
Setting name=HandlerCaching  value=true/
Setting name=EventCachingvalue=true/
Setting name=IOCObjectCachingvalue=true /
Setting name=IOCFrameworkvalue=coldspring /

[transfer-dev] Date precision Postgresql vs. Oracle

2010-08-26 Thread pedrobl

Hi there!

I have 2 systems for development. Some of the software is the same in
both (transfer 1.1, coldbox 2.6.4), but the database server is Oracle
10g in one, and postgresql 8.4 in the other.

I'd like the dates to be shown with the time also. I have a
transfer.list that shows a date and oddly enough, in the system with
oracle the date is printed without the time, on the other system with
postgres, the time is displayed by default.

How can I make this consistent?

Transfer seems to loose information on date fields with oracle. If I
TimeFormat() the dates from oracle, I get 00:00:00 although the raw
data in oracle contains the information needed.

Any ideas? TIA,

Pedro.

discussion:

I'll see if I can convince IT to modify Coldfusion's bootup options.
Another solution they point out in the discussion is to replace all

[transfer-dev] No records returned: CF7 and oracle

2011-01-03 Thread pedrobl

Happy new year everyone!

I left last year with a strange problem that probably has an easy
solution which I fail to see. I'm using Coldbox, Coldspring, Transfer
and Oracle 10g. I have stumbled upon a few driver issues, and this
probably has something to do with it.

First, the table: sessions, which just has the following fields:
PersonId (CHAR 32), Token (CHAR 36).

The use case is simple, a user wants to be authenticated and doesn't
remember her password. She accesses a form where she enters her email
address, the system checks that the email exists, generates a token
using CreateUUID(), persists the session object to the database, and
sends an email with a link containing the token just created. The link
takes the user to a page where all the system has to do is search the
database for the token, and generate a user session accordingly...
pretty simple.

Second, transfer.xml:
object name=Session table=USER_SESSIONS
id name=PersonId column=PERSON_ID type=string generate=false /

property name=SessionToken type=string nullable=false
column=TOKEN /
/object

Amazingly, the record is never found. I have tried many transfer
methods, all unsuccessfully, among others:

- readByProperty: SessionToken, and the generated token.
- readByPropertyMap: the map consists of a struct with a
SessionToken key, and the token as its value.
- listByQuery: the query is simple FROM ...Session
WHERE ...Session.SessionToken=:sessionToken
- Change the TOKEN field to varchar2.

The first two return a new object, and the third returns an empty
query. I also cfdump the whole table, to check that the record exists,
and the sql sent to oracle, and all look just fine... as they do in
many other parts of the application. If I run the query generated
directly in SQLDeveloper, it works fine. I have also tried the same
code using postgresql instead of Oracle, and it works!!

Sorry for the long post. What else could I try to debug this? Any
ideas? TIA,

Pedro.

[transfer-dev] Re: No records returned: CF7 and oracle

2011-01-04 Thread pedrobl

This is getting weirder and weirder. I modified the table and transfer
config changing the field name to session_token, instead of token. No
luck, same results.

I then tried to see the sql being sent to oracle when using
listByProperty, and readByProperty. To do this I modified transfer
configuration to point to the wrong table and provoke a table or view
does not exist error that shows the sql that failed.

- For the readByProperty method, the query is:
select PERSON_ID from NW_SESSIONS where SESSION_TOKEN = (param 1)
- For the listByProperty method, the query is:
select SESSION_TOKEN as SessionToken, PERSON_ID as PersonId from
NW_SESSIONS where SESSION_TOKEN = (param 1)

The param 1 in both cases is just fine:
(param 1) = [type='IN', class='java.lang.String', value='4B85F89A-D1AF-
E4E2-13148E6984C1271F', sqltype='cf_sql_varchar']

If I run both queries directly, they both work as expected, both
return 1 row, on the other hand if transfer runs them, they return no
rows... WTF?

I am at a loss here, I don't know what else to try. This doesn't make
any sense!!

 Exactly, it does not make sense. I do similar things all over the
 application. I don't understand why this is not working... I'm
 changing the field name TOKEN to SESSION_TOKEN, maybe that has
 something to do with it. I'll post the results in a minute.

[transfer-dev] Re: No records returned: CF7 and oracle SOLVED

2011-01-04 Thread pedrobl

I found it!!! The problem was that the token field was defined as CHAR
36, and the token generated was 35 characters long. The token was
being stored with an space at the end.

What I still don't understand is why when transfer runs the query
select PERSON_ID from NW_SESSIONS where SESSION_TOKEN = (param 1),
and param1 is 35 characters long, it returns no rows, but when I run
the query directly in SQL Developer select PERSON_ID from NW_SESSIONS
where SESSION_TOKEN = '4B85F89A-D1AF-E4E2-13148E6984C1271F';, it
returns one row...

Oh well!, thank you Mark, and sorry for wasting your valuable time,

 Hi all,

 First thing, the system: Coldfusion MX7, Oracle 10g, transfer 1.1. I
 need searches not to be case sensitive. I've tried to walk around this
 issue with different approaches, but each had its problems:

 - Changing the NLS settings in oracle. The problem: the data model
 needs too many extra indices. Also, it turns out that setting the
 session parameters to oracle's jdbc connection can have unexpected
 results.
 - Creating views in oracle with extra lower(columns) and extra
 properties in their respective transfer objects. The problem: the data
 model gets messy soon.

 I thought that it may be easier using transfer to solve the issue. The
 idea is that, when translating from TQL to SQL using the LIKE
 function, the column could be translated to 'LOWER(column_name)',
 instead of just 'column_name', and searching for lcase('%query%'),
 instead of just '%query%'.

 I've had a look at transfer's source code, as well as ANTLR and a hint
 as to where to look would be greatly appreciated... or any other ideas
 for that matter. Could I modify conditionBasicClause and the like
 OPERATOR in the Tql.g file? I guess I probably should modify the SQL
 part, not the TQL part...

[transfer-dev] Re: Transfer/MySQL saving 0 as NULL in int field

2011-08-17 Thread pedrobl

Hi Brian,

What you need to do is to set an integer value that represents the
null value in coldfusion. You can do this by setting the nullvalue
attribute in your property. In your case:

property name=milliseconds type=numeric nullable=true
nullvalue=- /

This tells transfer that it should insert a null value in the database
if and only if the property's value is -. The default nullvalue
for integers is 0, and that's why transfer inserts a null in the
database when you have 0 milliseconds. You need to have nullable set
to true in order for nullvalue to have any effect.

Does you milliseconds property need to have nulls? You may be
interested in the following documentation also:

http://docs.transfer-orm.com/wiki/Default_Property_Values.cfm
http://docs.transfer-orm.com/wiki/Custom_Methods.cfm

HTH,

Pedro.

 on that property in the transfer config, it still inserts NULL.  This is
 what my config node looks like:

   object name=CourseScript table=courseScript
 decorator=model.businessObjects.CourseScriptDecorator
    id name=courseScriptId type=numeric /
    property name=courseId type=numeric /
    property name=scriptId type=numeric /
    property name=milliseconds type=numeric nullable=false /
   /object

 Any other thoughts?

 Thanks,
 Brian

[transfer-dev] Non case sensitive searches, revisited

2011-08-28 Thread pedrobl

Last April I offered my time to solve this issue but, unfortunately
didn't receive any responses. The time has come for me to solve this
issue once and for all. I'd really appreciate any feedback.

The problem: Transfer does not support functions, so it's not possible
to do non case sensitive searches using functions like LCASE.

Initially I solved the issue by creating views in the DB server with a
LCASE version of the columns I needed to search, and adding new
objects in Transfer. The problem of this approach is that it soon gets
very messy: you need to have duplicate versions of the same objects in
Transfer; you need to create extra views in the DB; if you decide to
search in another column, you need add more code; and most important,
the DB indices are not used as the query that the server receives does
not include LCASE. (If someone needs more details on this, please let
me know)

The proposed solution: Ideally, I'd like to add support for SQL
functions to Transfer, but I'm afraid it's too big of a problem for
me. The second, simpler option is to modify Transfer's behaviour when
it deals with the LIKE function.

After checking Transfer and ANTLR source code, the easiest path seems
to be to modify the TQLSQL translation of the LIKE operator from the
current translation:

property LIKE expr - column LIKE expr
to
property LIKE expr - LCASE(column) LIKE LCASE(expr)

This way, the DB server knows it should use the LCASE index.

Any ideas? comments? TIA,

Pedro.
