I've been through the docs, and those generated from the classes.. The api's look great, they just don't seem to work in practice, I can live with the fact that inheritance isn't supported (despite what the docs say) but foreign keys no..
Thanks.. for pointing me to the docs, they're great aren't they i've been reading them for days, its just a shame that as soon as you try anything useful they don't seem to be right.. Correct me if i'm wrong. But if you've managed to do this without any sql hacks I'll be surprised, in fact I'd eat my hat.. Tell you what i'll even give you back the pics I've got of you and your ma.
So come on then Dave show me how stupid I am , and show me how to do this, cos my guess is you don't know.. So far all this works as far as giving me the methods i require, again the javadoc looks the dog's.. For example .I have an application table and I have many applicants per application (are you with me)..
So I thought, after studiously going though the docs, I'll write my schema do some column mapping and life would be great and small green furry creatures from alfa sentori would be real small green furry creatures form alfa sentori (forgive my spelling)..
<table name="APPLICATION" javaName="Application"... <column name="APPLICATION_ID" primaryKey="true" ... ... <table name="APPLICANT" javaName="Applicant">
<column name="APPLICANT_ID" ...
<foreign-key foreignTable="APPLICATION">
<reference local="APPLICATION_ID" foreign="APPLICATION_ID"/>
</foreign-key>The api gives me a setApplicant(Applicant v) method which is great.. Despite the fact it doesn't work.. Now I don't mind the fact this doesn't work, just that all these little not worky things seem to be a tad esoteric and not mentioned in the docs.. Variations of this have be trying the addApplication(Application v) in the applicant api, but alas no.
After all this a cry for help and I get some smart arse telling me to relax and go read the docs. Well done.
Cheers Mark

Thanks :) Almost as well done as waiting two hours for someone to answer
your question, I suppose.
Do foreign keys and the subsequent methods generated from such entries
in a schema actually work?
Yes.
Please tell me somebody, tell me point me to some reading or something, i'm not being lazy.
Oh, sorry, I forgot to point you at one of the top-level HOWTOs on the Torque site.
http://db.apache.org/torque/peers-howto.html
Other than that I'd have to point you at my sample Jython code and I'm not convinced that would be terribly helpful.
